Dover Street Market

Dover Street Market to me is a unique store designed for quirky fashion lovers, where nothing is set out to simply entice the costumer into getting out their purses but rather to stop and appreciate fashion in all its artistic and creative glory. Through out the shop there is a range of eclectic displays were either clothes are hung from or simply make you stop and stare, whether it be an old burnt out piano with shoes on top or an office mobile with a bin needing emptied.  The floor was run down and many of the walls and sections where purposefully looking like they where under reconstruction which was in complete juxtaposition to the high end fashion clothing that was on the rails. It was not mapped out as straightforward as Selfridges where if anything you where looking for you would find, but rather you could often find yourself very lost but enjoying where you were anyway. This store was not created for all wealths, I could not even afford a bun in the cafe on the top floor however it was more like a museum of fashion to me. Therefore it is not really a store that would appeal to the non rich non fashion industry people.
