D Squared2

Headed by Canadian twin brothers Dean and Dan Caten, Dsquared launched its first men’s collection in 1994 followed by its first women’s runway show in 2003. The shows are often multimedia extravaganzas, combining fashion with music and art. Dean and Dan’s unique mix of American wit, refined tailoring and attention to detail inspire a following. “We want people to look cool, not dressed up.”
