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.
