Dan and Dean Caten - twins who have decided to apply their creativity to fashion. They skilfully combine haute couture with smart casual. They are comfortable everyday clothes, but with a slightly eccentric twist. Stilettos with tracksuit bottoms? Why not!
Two fashion-loving, Canadian-born brothers introduced sportswear to high-end fashion shows. They started selling destroyed jeans, which the whole world then went crazy about. Because what's fashionable doesn't have to be uncomfortable.
Twin brothers Dan and Dean Caten are from Toronto, Canada. They are the children of an Italian immigrant, two of nine. They grew up in poverty, but have had a passion for fashion and clothing design since they were young. In 1983, they started studying at Parson's School of Design in New York. Then in 1991 they moved to Italy, to the capital of fashion: Milan.
In 1994, they founded the Dsquared2 brand with the primary aim of subverting the previous fashion rules, revealing their vision of men's fashion. They quickly made an impression on the public and became recognised in the world of luxury ready-to-wear.
Dsquared2 breathed new life into jeans with a uniquely distressed look. Pitted, rubbed, paint-stained, they have won the hearts of fans of unconventional styling. They achieved great fame when they collaborated with Diesel in 2003, presenting at that time a collection of jeans for women. The brand gained fame when the show of this collection ended with a striptease. Then it was spotted by celebrities. Rihanna, Beyoncé, Lenny Kravitz or Karl Lagerfeld are just a few names from a long list of clients.
Thanks to their Italian know-how combined with their fashion vision that breaks all the rules, two brothers continue creating original collections that stand out strongly. Their clothes combine quality and originality and breathe new life into design.
At the core of the brand is a vibrant energy combined with boldness and expression, but not without detachment. The people who choose DSquared2 are confident people who know how to achieve their goals, like to shine, value their sexuality and want to look unconventional and stylish.
