Stitched
Dover Street Market, 2021
For one of the year’s most anticipated collaborations, we stitched together Nike and Sacai through a shared spatial language. The installation was engineered using raw, cold industrial surfaces, heavy concrete diagonals and rigid steel circles, framing the soft, layered elements of the apparel. This material contrast echoed the hybrid nature of the product, amplifying movement and interaction while charging the environment.

Framed
Dover Street Market, 2022
A collaboration with Japanese photographer Sayuri Ichida, presenting ten works from her series Absentee. Each image was positioned in dialogue with distinct fashion identities, inviting a slower gaze. Paired with a defining garment from each designer, her lens framed fashion against stillness, heightening their uncompromising perspective. Installed in-situ, the intervention disrupted retail rhythm and established a conceptual anchor for the season.

Corner
Dover Street Market, 2018
For London Fashion Week 2018, we transformed the basement level into Corner, a tactile environment channeling Liam Hodges’ obsession with 80s/90s television subcultures. As part of DSM’s ongoing support of emerging British designers, the activation marked his debut runway show. Bringing together his street-savvy crowd, the space materialised his signature prints in a vibrant, acid-toned domestic corner.
