It was a very positive experience for both companies".
About Dsquared2
Canadian twin brothers Dean and Dan Caten moved to Milan in 1991 to further pursue their love for fashion and desire to have their own collection. The result was a debut in 1994 with a men collection and in February 2003 they launched their first women runaway show. Dsquared2 shows are often multimedia extravaganzas combining fashion with art and music.
