Comme des Garcons is no stranger to the perfume business and has been knocking out great scents year after year at a good clip. Its new fragrance, Floriental, comes from the idea of reimagining a flower that has no scent (in this case, the Cistus flower). It also redefines traditional notions of perfume-making with no definite top, middle, or base scent notes.
Eizenstein is a new multi-brand boutique nestled in the heart of Shoreditch. Split over two floors, the design of the store draws its inspiration from Russian Constructivism.
Eizenstein’s premise is to be a blank canvas, pushing the gallery concept, allowing for a carefully curated selection of products.
Their selection encompasses jewellery, accessories, fragrances and a range of womenswear and menswear featuring designers such as forme d’expression, Julius, Uma Wang, DRKSHDW, Alexander Plokhov, LAYER 0 and others.

Dear readers,
We’ve been getting a lot of requests to highlight some of our favorite shops around the world. We heard you and we begin our series with DAAD-DANTONE in Milan.
DAAD DANTONE is a multibrand boutique for men and women, as well accessories, shoes, jewelry, and fragrances from the likes of Rick Owens, Boris Bidjan Saberi, Deepti, m.a.+, Layer 0, Gareth Pugh, Damir Doma, Undercover, Jan Jan Van Essche, and others.
The shop, founded in the 1960s, showcases women and men’s collections in an refined and minimal monochrome display. Since the beginning, the boutique was based on an intimate lounge, an alternative concept for Milan’s “Quadrilatero” fashion system.
Atelier New York, an iconic menswear boutique that shuttered its doors in 2013, has reinvented itself, re-opening under new ownership as an eclectic shop for men and women. Since the rumor mill surrounding its rebirth has gone into overdrive, I decided to speak with Lu Han, the new owner, and Karlo Steel, the former co-owner who has remained at Atelier as head buyer.
We met in the lobby of Hotel Americano in West Chelsea, around the corner from where Atelier is now located on the tenth floor of a building in which other tenants are art galleries and fashion companies.
We would like to present the capsule collection of the Dutch designer Iris van Herpen created exclusively for The Corner. The collection is characteristic of van Herpen’s body of work, especially evident in its “liquid” fabrics that give the garments their otherworldly, ethereal feel.
“New Beginning” is Dover Street Market’s biannual changeover to the new season, including reimagined spaces and the debut of exclusive collections. This season also sees the introduction of a new space for the Comme des Garçons line Noir by Kei Ninomiya.
