Set on a runway designed to evoke a snow covered ski slope, this season’s DSQUARED2 marked a return to the Canadian roots of the brand’s founders, Dean and Dan Caten. Through sport, fantasy, performance, and swagger, the collection presented a forward looking vision that celebrated the winter season.

Highlights included oversized puffer jackets layered over suits, racing ski bodysuits, and knit tops imbued with a nostalgic 1970s mood. Signature DSQUARED2 elements such as crystal embellished blousons and flared leather trousers added a sharp rock edge throughout the collection. On the feet, ring boots that fused alpine and ski inspired elements with square toe leather boots made a strong statement.

The show’s soundtrack, created using AI technology to translate the designers’ current emotions and state of mind into sound, was also a notable feature.
