Dsquared2 was created by Dean and Dan Caten, Canadian twin brothers from Willowdale, Ontario. The twins arrived in Italy in 1991 with the goal of pursuing their love of fashion and realizing their dream of creating their very own ready-to-wear collection.
After several major collaborations, the first real opportunity for a potential spot in the international fashion hall of fame came along in 1994 when they brought a men's ready-to-wear collection to the runways of Milan, marking the first in a long succession of runway extravaganzas that captured the attention of the fashion world for their matchless combination of style, music and spectacle. From this moment on, the accumulation of successes will carry the Dsquared shoes brand, a witty play on the designers' names "dsquared stock", to the summit of luxury fashion.
