Adrian Joffe’s Tips.

‘On balancing the creativity of designers with the need to shift stock. “It’s a constant battle. At our buying meetings I’m always like, ‘This is a bit boring, isn’t it?’ But often creative things don’t sell. At Dover Street we do have to make money. It’s about finding that balance but for us it has to be creative first; we have to have people who are trying to do something new. There are so many different ways of being creative. It’s not [just] getting a student from Central Saint Martins going completely whacky. Some brands look plain and safe but where they’re coming from conceptually could be interesting.”  

On in-store technology. “That virtual thing is not my cup of tea at all. The magic mirrors: nightmare. I don’t understand it and I don’t see the point of it. Why not just get the real thing and try it on? We want to keep that human contact: touching things, touching fabrics, is important. We don’t want to turn Dover Street into a technological funfair.”

On keeping a mystique around your brand. “When [a brand we’re looking to stock] is ambitious and wants to get everywhere, I think about how we can keep our approach to that brand interesting. I find a lot of people now on Instagram; this guy from Guadelajara, Mexico, has the most amazing brand: Liberal Youth Ministry. You’ve got to look for things that are out of the ordinary, that come from a good starting point. Of course I worry that maybe [brands are] going to get spoilt by success. I try to encourage people: don’t kill your mystique, don’t oversell, don’t get too greedy – you’ve got to slow things down.”’
