Comme des Garçons and Dover Street Market is bringing its Market Market sale to Los Angeles for the first time. Titled Market Market: Message Market, the event opened May 8 and runs until May 13 at Mica Studios as a temporary retail installation focused on archived inventory and past-season product. Items from Prada, Stüssy, Kiko Kostadinov, The Row, Nike, and COMME des GARÇONS will be included, with discounts reaching up to 70 percent.
The sale follows earlier editions staged in Europe and New York, continuing DSM’s rotating format of large-scale archive clearances. Footwear, CDG Play basics, and runway pieces are expected to make up a large portion of the offering. Entry tickets are being released in phases in an attempt to manage attendance and reduce wait times. As with previous editions, product availability will vary throughout the duration of the event. photos by Richard Brooks
