NOWHERE AT DOVER STREET MARKET

Posted on 2009-01-26

15 years ago friends and collaborators Nigo (A Bathing Ape) and Jun Takahashi (Undercover) opened a tiny shop in Harajuku Tokyo called NOWHERE. It was Undercover’s first ever dedicated retail space. The space also had Nigo’s picks of US vintage wear. During that first year Nigo also launched A Bathing Ape in NOWHERE.
For Spring 2009 Nowhere have created a shop-in-shop at Dover Street Market. The London store, operated by Comme des Garcons, recreated the original store front of the Nowhere store.
NOWHERE is now open for a limited period of time in the Basement of DSM selling A Bathing Ape products and exclusive products made by Nigo and Jun together under the NOWHERE name.
