Dsquared, latest fashion jewelry by designers Dean and Dan Caten ♦ ︎
In July, Dean and Dan Caten received from the Municipality of Casalvieri (Frosinone) honorary citizenship, town keys and the Le Coluche prize. And so, not everyone knows that the two Canadian designers who founded the Dsquared brand were born in a family of the small Italian town: the whole surname, in fact, is Catenacci. From the catwalk to the small streets of Casalvieri, Dean and Dan visited the places of origin of the family, grandmother Arcangela and Dante’s daddy. From Willowdale, Ontario, the two twins have created a small international fashion empire. A race, however, started from New York, where they moved in 1983 to attend the Parson’s School of Design.
In the early 1990s, designers also lived in Italy, collaborating with fashion houses and preparing the first collection. Like many successful fashion houses, Dsquared has also expanded its business to fashion jewelry, made of materials such as brass and crystal. Here are some of the latest proposals signed by Dsquared, in some cases with some baroque accents. Alessia Mongrando
