LOST EMPIRE
An entire collection made without a single pattern; heavenly drapes sculpted around the body in swathes of tartan mixed with Hawaiian and Japanese prints plus of course the Union Jack!

Homme Plus AND
The Rolling Stones
John Pasch's famous red lips and tongue emblem first appeared on the cover of the Rolling Stones' "Sticky Fingers" album and marked the beginning of a new age in music. This season Homme Plus takes rock goes back to its roots of energy and rebellion with the 'lips and tongue' in a panoply of stripes, polka dots and checks, not forgetting the 'Evergreen' section, classic Homme Plus revisited, and the Homme Plus sport section, this season inspired by boxing.

Junya Watanabe. Evolution, Re-construction and Revolution
The rebellion of Punk is brought to life this season through re-constructed trench coats and morning coats mixed with slouchy jersey tops and dresses made from shredded and re-patched college T-Shirts and twisted and re-pieced stockings.

Junya Watanabe MAN.
Re-constructed Workwear
Functional workwear is given an unexpected twist as Junya Watanabe collaborates this season with Ben Sherman, Post and Pointer. Signature workwear silhouettes and fabrics are re-worked into a collection of tailored jackets and pants worn with re-constructed and over-dyed Lacoste Polo shirts, with the famous crocodile taking a walk on the wild side, all over the polo shirt.

TAO Comme des Garçons. Feminine, Fresh, Romantic, Delicate
TAO presents another creative rhapsody with a collection inspired by handkerchiefs and the trench coat. An exquisite concoction of hand-embroidered linen, crocheted doilies and exquisite lace are applied to the crisp bold lines of the classic trench coat.

Rochas. Sartorial chic

Fabric dictates shape this season with Zero Maria Cornejo's debut collection at Dover Street Market. Jersey is draped and gathered to create bubble and tulip dresses worn with Capri pants or long shorts.

David Szeto. Western dress meets kimono detailing
Dover Street Market presents David Szeto's inimitable complexity of cut and technical expertise with this exquisite collection of dresses. Inspired by Japanese kimonos, these high-waisted dresses, echo the empire-like silhouette of an Obi bound kimono with lattice hand smocking worked into the natural drape of the body. Kimono fabrics and a traditional palette are also used to achieve an abstract line and alluring splendour to these dresses.

TOGA ARCHIVES
Dover Street Market presents TOGA ARCHIVE'S "SPIRAL FANTASIA". DSM Exclusive. Toga's unique signature is its supreme use of incomplete and deconstructed elements of garments. Inspired by a spiral staircase, Toga repeats these elements to create a totally sublime look in chiffon with gold embroidery and polka dots.

The launch of Ligia Dias' debut necklace collection
Following a three years collaboration with Alber Elbaz for Lanvin, Ligia Dias' launches her first collection, inspired by the work of Bauhaus artist Anni Albers.

The result is an avant-garde combination of ropes and brass plates with ribbon, pearls and glass beads to produce sublime, ethereal but very contemporary necklaces.

Peachoo & Krejberg
Men's Collection
A look and soul; aged and weathered. An allusion to a former life. Peachoo & Krejberg continue the theme of architectural cutting and divine fabrics with the men's collection, new to Dover Street Market this season. This Spring Summer 2006 silhouette evokes contrasting proportions mixing narrow with wide, short with long. Deconstructed fitted jackets are paired with oversized low slung trousers. Raw frayed fringes appear on the inside of jackets or hanging off shirts creating a silhouette in continuous movement.

MICHAEL COSTIFF. GROUND FLOOR WINDOW DISPLAY - Lost Empire meets Punk.

A parallel universe. Two Victorian ladies with a penchant for hedonism meet a Punk rocker as they leave the Amazonian forests adorned in macaw feathers, jewellery, beads and bones; all collected on their travels through the empire. He harbours dreams of indoctrinating them in the ways of anarchic punk but the decadent Victorians adopt him and add him to their trove of curiosities.

PIERRE HARDY. THIRD FLOOR
Pierre Hardy's glorious shoes arrive at Dover Street Market.

This season heralds the launch of Pierre Hardy's men's and women's shoe collection at Dover Street Market. Pierre's work has included designing shoes for Christian Dior, Hermes and Balenciaga. His signature is a contemporary collection based on simple geometric shapes, in traditional materials and a strong colour palette. The summer 2006 collection is exquisite.

LABOUR AND WAIT. FOURTH FLOOR.
A sublime collection of kitchen, household, clothing and garden accessories with timeless appeal. Antique blankets, vintage linen, enamelware, studio pottery and much more.

Labour and Wait was started in 2000 by Simon Watkins and Rachel Wythe-Moran. Whilst working in the fashion industry they became disillusioned with the throw away nature of fashion. They realised they had a shared appreciation of simple, honest products which do not date.

They endeavoured to search out specialist makers from around the world, many of whom continue to manufacture their goods in the traditional way to their original designs.

BUDDHIST PUNK. BASEMENT. The sum of two great philosophies.

Buddhist Punk evokes the attitude of the punk through the ages, to stand apart, take risks and not be held back by convention.<

Buddhist Punk has developed out of its own strong graphic language in reaction to our overtly visual world, and has taken this spirit to grow into a genuine counterculture clothing label. It aims to make clothing to surprise through cut, construction, treatment and artwork.<

Buddhist Punk has fostered friends and relationships with the film and music industries dressing young guns, rising stars and legends alike; most notably our partnership with The Rolling Stones for a second world tour.
