Dsquared2 first launched in 1995 by twin brothers Dean and Dan Caten. Today Dsquared2 is known as one of the most luxurious brands around the world.. And their most recent launch is nothing but cutting edge.

The Idea Behind The Collection

 

The upcoming collection showcases layered pieces for men and women. It seems the designers took inspiration from the stereotypical “bad boy” trend and transformed it into something unique.

VMan.com quotes,

“A mash-up of subcultures takes us on a dark trip to the beach.”

The new line up features the name “Dark Goth Surfers”. If that’s not enough to get the heads turning of consumers, what is?

The name alone sparks interest. As well as the theme behind the line. They designed this line specifically to give consumers plenty of options for throughout the day. Creating the ease of crossover outfits from day to night.

Want to hit the town at night? But be just as keen for an early morning ride on the waves? Look no further as this was the key theme behind this new line.

Diverse Looks

The new line showcases a variety of pieces that can be used and swapped for men and women. Consisting of mainly oversized and layered items. However, there can be a few items found that are tailored more towards a feminine or masculine display. Although, the designers were quick to highlight that all pieces are unisex.

To break up the more gothic theme, there are splashes of pastel. With the contrast of obnoxious prints and tie-die, along with the grunge baggy effect of black and long layers, the collection makes for an outspoken unique display.

The Caten brothers offered a masterclass where they highlighted how diverse the items could be. Contrasting of designs and styles seems to be all the rage for the brothers.
