Dover Street Market delivers. I could literally spend all day wandering the store’s expertly curated floors without getting bored or overwhelmed––which says a lot, for a place that purposely positions their over-the-top Gucci section right next to every hypeboi’s fav minimalist line, Supreme.

The store’s standout display right now is Telfar F/W ‘18, which sits at the top of a surrealist hallway with twisting, snake-like hand railings, and walls painted in blocky purple gradient. Just two rolling racks of Next Century t-shirts, knitwear and denim live in Telfar’s corner, situated on either side of a giant portrait of Telfar himself, in hunting gear. Oh, and a small barbecue lined with beanies from our favorite collab, Telfar x White Castle.

Two installations set up in the Fucking Awesome mezzanine make the place feel more like MoMA PS1 than a store––a pile of T-shirts artfully situated in the corner under a crucifix sits across the section from a wall of TVs airing old news and, of course, skate footage. (Does art imitate our skater ex’s bedrooms or do our skater ex’s bedrooms imitate art?) The streetwear section features basics from Braindead x Carhartt, Goodfight and AFFIX. It’s basically the go-to spot for the high-end but low-key sweats you’ve always wanted.

Throughout the shop, unexpected utilitarian collabs (hi Junya Watanabe x Canada Goose), streetwear and bejeweled grandpa shoes are (still) in, and maximalism is going nowhere.

Escaping the Glass Cage

November 19, 2024

For years, she stood still, watching life rush past her, a quiet observer behind the glass. Now, the glass is broken, and she steps out into the unknown. She walks through the city, caught between two worlds—part of it, yet apart from it.

Her journey is quiet but bold, searching for something she’s never understood, something just out of reach. On church steps and under glowing city lights, she questions everything: the rules, the past, and where she truly belongs. Each step feels both freeing and uncertain.

A curious soul in a borrowed life, she keeps moving forward, leaving behind only whispers of her escape, like a fleeting shadow in the night.
