Dsquared2 breaks the mould for Spring 2026 with bold fashion, an off-calendar presentation, and an unexpected musical debut.

Dsquared2 has taken the fashion world by surprise by unveiling its Spring 2026 collection outside the traditional fashion calendar. Instead of showing during Milan Fashion Week, designers Dean and Dan Caten opted for private showroom appointments to present a collection that blends sensuality, irreverence and sporty elements with a completely renewed energy. This strategy, in addition to celebrating the brand’s 30th anniversary, marks a new chapter in the evolution of the Canadian duo.

The biggest surprise wasn’t just the timing of the presentation, but also their foray into music. The Caten brothers debuted Iconique, a track created in collaboration with rapper Latto, producer Jc Chasez and Jimmy Harry. This launch is not merely a sonic experiment – it acts as an extension of the new fashion capsule of the same name,...

Dsquared2 knows how to throw a show—and for Fall/Winter 2025, the brand took things to the next level, celebrating its 30th anniversary with a jaw-dropping, star-studded spectacle at Milan Fashion Week.

More than just a runway presentation, the night felt like a full-blown party, blending fashion, music, and pop culture in a nightclub-inspired venue. The energy was electric from the start, as rap superstar Doechii made a dramatic entrance from an armored tank overflowing with dollar bills, setting the tone for a night of high-octane glamour.

The runway was packed with stars including Tyson Beckford, Isabeli Fontana, Irina Shayk, Amelia Gray, Alex Consani, Alton Mason, Victor Perez, Bach, and Nle Choppa.

But the real showstopper? Naomi Campbell, who emerged from a set designed as a gritty New York warehouse labeled “Dsquared2 Bros Co,” reminding everyone why she remains the queen of the catwalk.

Canadian fashion is a growing niche within the luxury fashion industry. While it doesn’t have the same glamour as European fashion or draw as American brands, Canadian brands such as Sorel, Canada Goose, and DSQUARED2 are increasingly making a name for themselves within the fashion industry.

The brainchild of two Canadian fashion designers and twin brothers, Dean and Dan Caten, their Milan-based fashion house has become one of the most popular fashion brands by any Canadian designer. Their double D’s make up the brand’s name.

As Ricky Martin got dressed for the opening night of his Las Vegas residency, he realized that his pants fit a little looser.

Prepping for a Las Vegas show, as it turns out, was a heck of a workout plan for the superstar, 45.

“For the eight weeks that we were rehearsing, all I did was lose weight and were like ‘Perfect, don’t eat tonight,’ ” he told People exclusively on Thursday at the opening of DSQUARED2 inside Vegas’ Crystals, one day before the premiere of his show. “I kept telling them I’m losing so much weight and they were like,...

Los Angeles, July 26: A star-studded baby shower will be organised for singer-songwriter Fergie, who is expecting her first child with actor Josh Duhamel.

The 38-year-old is preparing for the pre-birth celebrations, which will be thrown by her agent Sean Patterson and fashion designers Dean and Dan Caten here over the weekend, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

According to the New York Post newspaper, the guest list for the party includes TV star Kelly Osbourne, dancer Julianne Hough, director Ryan Murphy and actors Neil Patrick Harris and Jesse Tyler Ferguson.

Fashion designer Marc Jacobs and Us stylist Joe Zee have already confirmed.

New York, Apr 7: Beyonce has showed off one of her raciest concert ensembles yet with her gold-sequined dress.

The 'Bootylicious' hitmaker kicked off her Mrs. Carter World Tour in Belgrade, Serbia, shimmying across the stage in a fringe-lined "dress" that formed the appearance of bare breasts, the New York Post reported.

The R and B star wore a number of sexy outfits that night, including a mesh-lined bodysuit and a crimson red gown with high slits that showed off her toned legs.

Designers like Julien Macdonald, Ralph and Russo, Peter Dundas of Emilio Pucci and Dean and Dan Caten of Dsquared2 are said to have collaborated with the costumes for the tour. (Ani)...

Even though Beyonce spent her last major fashion moment channeling looks from her own style archive, the singer is about to take some notes from our favorite supermodels for her next venture -- and she's getting a little help from design duo Dsquared2.

For her Mrs. Carter Show World Tour, Beyonce's teaming up with the fashion house to create a "show-stopper of an outfit," a Dsquared2 spokesperson confirmed to Vogue UK. So how do supermodels factor into the equation? The look will be inspired by the brand's spring/summer 2013 "Glamazon" collection, a tribute to iconic '90s faces (and bodies).

We're not too surprised at the comparison of Bey to the likes of Linda Evangelista, Cindy Crawford and Christy Turlington -- there's not much of a difference between a supermodel and superstar to us. But we're bummed that the 31-year-old isn't going the same regal route on her tour as...

Dressed in a beautiful, white Roberto Cavalli gown, Heidi Klum joined Bar Refaeli, Lindsay Lohan, and an elite group at amfAR's Milano gala last night. The philanthropic celebration signals the start of Milan's Fashion Week and brought out a mix of designers, models, and stars. Guests were entertained with a duet from John Legend and Raphael Saadiq of Stevie Wonder's "My Cherie Amore." John was accompanied by girlfriend Chrissy Teigen, who watched from the crowd while he auctioned off two private performances that raised nearly $400,000 Euros for AIDS research. Heidi also took the stage to present Kenneth Cole with an award and later dined with friends and her Project Runway costar Nina Garcia. Lindsay Lohan made an appearance and posed for photos with Margherita Missoni and brothers Dean and Dan Caten of DSquared. The fashion world turns its attention to Italy in the upcoming days with Spring 2012 presentations coming...

Lady GaGa will be paying a visit to "Launch My Line" in its January episode, and a sneak peek of her appearance has been made available through two new photos. Released by Bravo TV, the promotional images give out first look at the dance electronica singer when she joins hosts Dean and Dan Caten for the upcoming show.

In addition to the two pictures, the network also shares another look at the 23-year-old hitmaker by releasing a short preview. Less than 30-second long, the footage exposes the show's two hosts giving a clue about the guest for the episode. Before long, the singer who is hidden in the closet comes out and surprises the contestants.

Earlier this month, it was uncovered that Lady GaGa will be making an appearance on Bravo TV's new fashion reality show "Launch My Line". The "Bad Romance" singer's visit will be aired Bravo TV at...

How Lady GaGa will make her grand entrance to "Launch My Line" has been previewed through two new photos and a video preview courtesy of Bravo TV. The singer will be hidden in the closet while hosts Dean and Dan Caten tease the remaining contestants with clue of their guest.

The fashion competition show is taking a holiday break to return with the GaGa episode on January 6. Six contestants are still in competition and they will be asked to create a "boundary-pushing" outfit which is the singer's signature. The design, nevertheless, should not leave behind the avant-garde and classy elements.

Pairing designers from across the United States with professional designers, "Launch My Line" will grant the winner a chance to have their line of fashion launched. Meanwhile, the designer pro will win $50,000 prize.

Bravo's already-better-than-Project Runway knockoff Launch My Line brought in a measly 800,000 viewers last night, which is a phenomenal fall from its Top Chef lead-in. Not acceptable. How can we change this? It's not like Tim Gunn has a hip pheasant-hunting show on a competing network right now, so let's rally around Launch My Line. Twin hosts Dean and Dan Caten are just as terrifying as Nina Garcia's "I'll use a rolling pin on you, Suede" wince, trust me. I'll be watching (and reviewing), anyway. [EW]...

First of all, let's thank our lucky stars that Launch My Line isn't Project Runway. We all know how well it goes when Bravo tries to reclaim Runway's prestige with a knockoff, and Launch My Line sports none of The Fashion Show's boiler room lighting or janitorial judging panel. With miniature twin hosts Dean and Dan Caten of the designer brand DSQUARED2 helming the proceedings and insane contestants filling the workroom, this show almost doesn't need fashion to be entertaining. In fact, it might just need its first episode, which featured a quote that trumps the entire last season of Runway.

Rachel Bilson continued making the rounds at Milan Fashion Week last night, getting decked out in black for the amfAR charity dinner. She was joined by Dita Von Teese and Janet Jackson, who posed for photos on the arm of pal Donatella Versace.

Supermodel Naomi Campbell and Linda Evangelista are fighting over the new ad campaign of Italian fashion label Dsquared. Now before you get judgmental, the two are shown engaged in a catfight in the spring/summer '09 after the label decided to shoot the ad in a unique way.

Shot by ace photographer Steven Meisel, the advertisement campaign shows both the models clad in slinky black maxis, strappy sandles and chin-strap skull caps, reports Marie Claire.

High-end fashion label Dsquared belongs to twin brothers Dean and Dan Caten, fashion designers. They have been featured on "America's Next Top Model" and appeared in the music video for Fergie's "Clumsy."

In March 2008, Dean and Dan signed an agreement to design sunglasses with Marcolin, an Italian sunglasses and spectacle manufacturer. The collection is set to be released in 2009.
