Dover Street Market evolves with DSM, its first in-house brand
Dover Street Market has taken the plunge. For the first time since its creation in London in 2004, the concept store by Rei Kawakubo and Adrian Joffe has its own brand, simply called DSM, the initials that characterise the brand. The first collection is designed by Kei Ninomiya, a talented Japanese designer at the helm of the "noir" label that emerged as part of the Comme des Garçons fold. DSM will launch for the spring-summer 2026 season. Trained at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, the Japanese designer joined Rei Kawakubo in 2008 as a patternmaker, before going solo in 2012, still under the wing of Comme des Garçons, with his own "noir" line. A fixture on the Paris calendar since February 2020, Ninomiya is known for his intricate constructions and spectacular, fairy-tale collections. However, for his first collection for DSM, he has taken a completely opposite approach. The collection is centred around a wardrobe designed for everyday wear, with easy-to-wear and easy-to-combine pieces, focusing on jersey. Ninomiya revisits the "preppy" spirit through a cool lens, transforming pieces from the classic English university club uniform (blazers, ties, pleated skirts, cardigans, V-neck sweaters, etc.) into casual, sporty garments, while playing with the details. A regimental tie becomes a belt; the letters DSM form the coat of arms decorating t-shirts and jackets or extend in fine stripes down the side lines of shorts, jackets, and sweatpants. Gray or white fleece is used to make baggy pants, puffy skirts, dungarees, classic hooded jackets, chic coats, and even duffle coats. Kei Ninomiya will be the label's first designer, and others will follow, each with their own vision. According to the brand, the idea is to work with a variety of designers, drawn from all horizons, from emerging to established designers. They will each conceptualise their own, unique project. For the brand, this is "a new stage in the evolution of Dover Street Market", designed to "embody the spirit of beautiful chaos established over the last twenty-one years in its stores". "DSM will act as a vessel to contain new ideas, new ways of communicating, for different categories and for a myriad of tastes," said the brand. From the outset, Comme des Garçons' multi-brand store has featured Rei Kawakubo's flagship brand in its eight points of sale and e-shop, as well as a cutting-edge selection of young designers and better-known luxury labels. It has also developed a Brand Development division, which distributes and supports the development of some fifteen emerging brands.

Priyanka Chopra Recalls How Nick Jonas Helped Her During Scary First Met Gala Experience: ‘Was Really Heady…'
Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas' love story is one for the books, and the Indian star is once again revealing previously unknown details about how their pairing came to be. After hearing about each other through the grape vines and the Jonas Brothers' member's famed sliding into her DMs moment, the two walked the 2017 Met Gala for Ralph Lauren, and the rest is history. The actress is now delving into how her now-husband came like a beacon of light to help her during her first visit to fashion's biggest night. Recalling the moment during a chat with Vogue, the actress shared about uniting with then-rumored love interest Nick Jonas for the Comme des Garçons theme as the two were paired up for the same house. Deciding to walk the carpet with him because she was 'curious' about him, the Barfi star emphasized how she had never done something like that before. So, despite thinking it was 'random', she went ahead with the idea, and the singer showed him his gentlemanly style, winning her over. How Nick Jonas Swept Priyanka Chopra off Her Feet with His Romantic Ways Speaking about their relationship at the time, the Quantico actor claimed she 'didn't even know him' at the time and they had 'randomly texted for about a year. And as fate would have it, the two, meant only to walk the red carpet together, then going their separate ways, ended up staying by each other the whole night. It was all planned by Nick Jonas, however, who, on spotting Priyanka Chopra looking all alone and nervous, having her feet stuck deep into the ground after entering the venue, was ushered in by the man himself and taken care of throughout her time at the Met Gala. She narrates it, 'All I remember was Nick just calling out my name, handing me his hand, and just pulling me in with him. He's like 'This way', and after that, we spent the whole night together.' She spoke of being 'heady' because of the romance in the moment. The couple has since gotten married, welcomed daughter Malti Marie in 2022, and are now settling down in New York while juggling a busy life.
