Dover Street Market is over 20 years old, having originally opened in London's Mayfair on September 10, 2004, by Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garçons and her husband, Adrian Joffe. The avant-garde concept store celebrated its 20th anniversary in September 2024, maintaining its status as a premier, evolving retail space.
History. The first Dover Street Market opened on 10 September 2004 on 17–18 Dover Street, in Mayfair, London. In March 2016 the original store relocated to the former Burberry building (erected in 1912 by Thomas Burberry) on Haymarket (South Piccadilly).
Founded by Rei Kawakubo and her husband Adrian Joffe in 2004, over the past two decades, Dover Street Market has become one of the most influential retail spaces in the world, redefining what a multibrand store can be.
History. Dover Street was built by a syndicate of developers headed by Sir Thomas Bond. The syndicate purchased a Piccadilly mansion called Clarendon House from Christopher Monck, 2nd Duke of Albemarle in 1683 and proceeded to demolish the house and develop the area.
