Dsquared2
Dean and Dan Caten, twin brothers from Willowdale, Toronto, began their journey in fashion at Parsons School of Design in New York City in 1984. Eight years later, the Canadian duo moved to Italy with the aim of creating their own brand. After collaborating with some of Italy’s most celebrated fashion houses, the designers presented their first menswear collection under the Dsquared2 label in 1995.
The Dsquared2 philosophy is a bold mix of Canadian iconography, refined Italian tailoring and a playful approach to sensuality. The collections are a perfect blend of contrasts: sporty yet glamorous, laid-back yet extravagant, masculine yet feminine, creating a distinctive concept of alternative luxury.
Dean and Dan divide their time between Milan and London, while Dsquared2 collections are produced in Italy, giving rise to the brand’s motto: “Born in Canada, Made in Italy”.
