DSquared2 debuted their Spring/Summer 2010 collection this past week during Milan Fashion Week. The design duo are home grown Canadians, but are now based out of Milan. However, the collection was less Italian and more Canuck. Maybe the twins found inspiration while designing the Olympic outfits the athletes will wear, because this collection has a distinct Canadiana feel, with detailing right down to a maple leaf in place of a heart.
The show included pitched tents on the runway, hiking and rain gear. One thing DSquared2 aren't is boring. Their shows are often the most enjoyable during fashion weeks. The twins never take themselves or fashion too seriously. They play and have fun with their collections and aren't afraid to be camp-y (pun totally intended!)
What's really impressive about the collection are the details. High heeled studded lace-up hiking sandals were worn with thick grey and orange woolen socks. The outfits were accessorized with beaded necklaces shaped like creepy crawly black beetles. The models are even carrying beer bottles with them as they trot down the runway.
So if this collection is any indication, the Canadian Olympic team will be sporting trucker hats and plastic raincoats when standing on the podium.

DSquared2 debuted their Spring 2011 collection in their home base of Milan for Milan Fashion Week. The Caten twins collection was more subdued and wearable than their usual collections, but the clothes are beautiful and just as interesting. The twins collection focused on menswear for women while combining it with early 90's elements with the big white socks and Oxford shoes (the ladies of Beverly Hills, 90210 would approve!). Unfortunately, the designers seem to loooooove their skinny models.
