Dsquared2 introduces its pre-fall 2024 collection. It is a sartorial ode to the great outdoors fused with a distinct Canadian spirit—courtesy of designers Dan and Dean Caten—and an unexpected nod to the cult fascination surrounding the film Cocaine Bear.
This eclectic mix reflects the brand’s fearless approach to fashion, where street savvy meets wilderness chic, creating a rugged and refined look. The collection is a masterful play of contrasts: think lumberjack meets luxury.
Bold plaid patterns pay homage to Dsquared2’s Canadian roots, harking back to the country’s iconic flannel shirts, reimagined with a contemporary twist. These pieces are storytellers of the Catens’ heritage, narrated through modern tailoring.
Dsquared2 Pre-Fall 2024 Collection
Outerwear stands as the collection’s centerpiece, with each piece crafted to command attention and withstand the elements. The designs channel the utilitarian essence of adventure gear, from shearling-lined jackets to high-visibility raincoats.
The influence of Cocaine Bear—a film that intertwines the wild with humor—is evident in the collection’s audacious spirit. It’s a playful acknowledgment that fashion, like film, allows for a narrative beyond the ordinary, pushing boundaries and expectations.
The Caten brothers offer a wardrobe of versatile denim, knitwear, and statement outerwear. Denim jeans, distressed and splattered, speak to the rebel in every wearer, while knitted sweaters provide a textural counterpoint, offering warmth and comfort without sacrificing style.
Footwear is robust—sturdy boots ready for any adventure, yet designed with the sleek Dsquared2 aesthetic. Accessories are not forgotten, with practical bags designed for the man on the move yet detailed with the unexpected—a flash of metal, a hint of the wilderness.
Dsquared2’s pre-fall 2024 collection celebrates the rugged beauty of nature, the enduring strength of heritage, and the joy of cinematic escapades. As the leaves prepare to turn, this collection stands ready to outfit the modern man in a wardrobe that’s as daring as it is timeless.
