Dsquared2 Apparel

Dsquared2 is a prominent high-end fashion house founded by twin brothers Dean and Dan Caten. Originally from Canada, the designers moved to Italy to refine their craft, leading to the official launch of their first men's collection in 1994. The brand is celebrated for its unique blend of edgy Canadian iconography, refined Italian tailoring, and playful, often provocative aesthetics that appeal to a global luxury audience.

While the brand's DNA is deeply rooted in Canadian identity and Italian craftsmanship, its manufacturing is diversified. High-tailored items and leather goods are predominantly made in Italy, while specific contemporary pieces like certain pullovers or accessories may be produced in China or Portugal. This global production strategy ensures the brand meets high quality standards across its diverse product lines.

Since its inception, Dsquared2 has maintained a long-standing licensing and production partnership with the Italian fashion group Staff International, which is a subsidiary of Renzo Rosso's OTB Group. Despite this close operational integration and partial ownership stakes over time, the Caten brothers have retained significant creative control and ownership of the brand. The ultimate headquarters for its primary operations remain in Milan, Italy. dsquared2.com
