Dsquared2
"Born in Canada, Made in Italy" encapsulates Dsquared2’s essence. Launched in 1994 by twins Dan and Dean Caten, the eclectic lifestyle label speaks to the founders’ dual nationality. A pastiche of Canadian iconography and refined Italian tailoring, Dsquared2 finds inspiration in the idiosyncratic. The label’s signature mix of casual basics and well-cut suiting is expressed through colorful graphic T-shirts, distressed denim jeans, and slim-fitting blazers. Logo-printed messenger bags, French terry beach towels, and leather Chelsea boots round out the collection while making subtle references to the twins’ native country. A carefully calibrated mélange of styles and reference points, Dsquared2 continues its reign as a boundary-pushing purveyor of alternative luxury.
