Dean and Dan Caten, twin brothers originally from Toronto, began their careers in fashion at Parson's School of Design in New York in 1984. After working with some of the most important Italian fashion houses, in 1995 they launched their brand, Dsquared2. The brand's philosophy combines Canadian iconography with refined Italian tailoring, playing on sensuality and creating a mix of contrasts, from sporty to glamorous, from casual to extravagant, from masculine to feminine. The result is an alternative luxury, distinctive and bold. Dsquared2 collections are produced in Italy, embodying the brand's motto: "born in Canada, made in Italy". Dean and Dan live between Milan and London, continuing to pursue their unique vision in the world of fashion.
