The words were splashed on Dover Street Market's webpage in all-caps, enormous block lettering: "DSM New York, Opening December 21st 11 AM." 

After choosing the location and signing a lease in the Kips Bay area of Midtown Manhattan, the Comme des Garcons-owned Dover Street Market started hiring staff and began construction on the building. Now, it appears the marketplace is on track with its projected December opening date, when it'll open the doors to such designers as Rick Owens, Thom Browne and Visvim, to name but a few on the lengthy list of featured brands.

The shop, located at 160 Lexington Avenue, was once home to both Touro College and the New York School of Applied Design for Women, Racked reported. 

Here are some of the designers that will sell their product with the DSM, according to the store's website. (Some? Who could possibly be missing?) A handful of items are currently available at the online store, ahead of the flagship's opening day.
