Dsquared
DSquared is the name given to the company formed in 1993 by twins Dean and Dan Caten. Born in Canada in
1965, the twins grew up in Willowdale, Ontario. Following high school, they spent a summer at Parsons School of Art and Design in New York
and then decided to become fashion designers.
When they returned to Canada, they were offered designing jobs and worked at their trade for 6 years. They then
went to Milan, staying there for two years in order to get the knowledge and feel of Italian fashion. Their lucky break came when Madonna spotted
a friend in Los Angeles wearing their jeans and asked for a pair for herself. The Catens found themselves then creating 150 costumes
for her World tour.
DSquared have been in partnership with Diesel since Renzo Rosso financed their initial development. This relationship has let DSquared very much
polish and refine its menswear brand and present it's second full womenswear collection this season.
DSquared's debut runway collection of womenswear took place during ready-to-wear week in Milan during March 2003. Their show was brightened
by many supermodels such as Naomi Campbell who wore their clothes.
The Caten brothers are known to mix up several looks, all rooted essentially within sportswear. Their clothes could work for going shopping,
working, clubbing or even hiking in the mountains or in the countryside. It is called "free-spirited" fashion and has today become very
popular.
