DSQUARED2 is a luxury fashion brand founded by twin brothers Dean and Dan Caten. Originally from Willowdale, Toronto, the Catens began their fashion journey at Parsons School of Design in New York City in 1984. Eight years later, they relocated to Italy, collaborating with established Italian fashion houses before launching their own menswear collection under the DSQUARED2 label in 1995. Their signature style blends Canadian influences with refined Italian tailoring and a playful sensuality. The brand's designs often juxtapose sporty and glamorous elements, creating a unique concept of alternative luxury. The DSQUARED2 collections are produced in Italy, reflecting the brand's "Born in Canada, Made in Italy" motto.
