Eyes on Dsquared²–Dan and Dean Caten of Dsquared² celebrate the launch of their new eyewear collection with Marcolin in Barcelona, Spain. The latest style from Dsquared² is their unisex model DQ0093, which employs a variety of colors for a bold summer look.

Beautiful People–Loosely dressed in denim and other relaxed garments, Dmitriy Tanner (d’men), Matt Woodhouse, Paolo Anchisi and Ton Heukels join Natasha Poly for Dsquared²’s spring/summer 2012 campaign. Enjoying a laidback Woodstock vibe, the attractive group are captured by the lens of photography duo Mert & Marcus.

Scholastic Tales–Dsquared² went back to school for their fall/winter 2012 showing in Milan and photographer Alessandro Casagrande was there to set his lens on a couple of the boys, ready for their catwalk debut. / View Dsquared²’s fall/winter 2012 show here.

Scholarly Days–Dsquared² designers Dan and Dean Caten send their boys back to school for the fall/winter 2012 season. Bringing smarts to their signature staples, loosely slung denim was paired with light layers consisting of leather jackets, sweatshirts, button-downs and sweater vests. Accessorized with newsboy hats, duffels and backpacks, the season’s theme was a no-brainer. From goody two shoes prep to the sartorial bad boy, Dsquared² packed an easy punch with a relaxed wardrobe that eventually transitioned into more polished garments. Still applying their own handiwork to eveningwear, denim and sequins collided for a cheeky finish.

Man of the Decade–Clad in a sharp look from Dsquared², actor James Franco snags the cover of VMAN’s upcoming winter 2011 issue (out this Thursday), photographed by Inez & Vinoodh.

Camp Dsquared²–Florian van Bael and Timmi Radicke front the latest lookbook from Dsquared². A campy plunder of the label’s signature pieces, everything from shorts and easy outerwear to washed denim, come in a versatile palette of neutrals, accented by vibrant hues. Paired with chunky socks and boots, the youthful lineup seizes the moment with novelty sweaters, board shorts as well as other familiar accessories.
This Canadian-twin-duo launched their label Dsquared² men’s collection in 1994 and women’s collection in 2003. Hailing from Toronto, Dean and Dan Caten moved to New York in 1983 to study at the prestigious Parsons The New School for Design. The Caten brothers eventually moved to Milan, Italy and worked as designers for the house of Gianni Versace and Diesel. Their ultra-sexy and urban attire often pays tribute to their Canadian heritage, though they are now based out of Italy. In 2002, Madonna asked the Caten brothers to design 150 pieces for her Drowned World Tour and in 2009, Dean and Dan designed the costumes for Britney Spears’s much anticipated comeback tour. The first Dsquared² flagship store opened in Milan in 2007.
