Dover Street Market Singapore will debut at Tanglin Village early next year, marking the fashion brand’s fourth global site.

To be known as DSM Singapore, the hip Japanese concept will sell a curated range of labels.

Founded by 74-year-old Japanese fashion designer Rei Kawakubo, who also founded Comme des Garcons, the outlet follows stores in London, New York and Tokyo.

In the upmarket Dempsey area, DSM Singapore is expected to be a highlight of the Tanglin Village renovation project Como Dempsey, which takes over the space vacated by Chang Korean BBQ Restaurant and antique store Shang Antique. The complex will also house a concept restaurant and bar by French restaurateur Jean-Georges Vongerichten.
