Very different from other resort collections we’ve been shown, Dsquared2’s Dean and Dan have a signature style that always comes through regardless of what’s currently trending. This collection incorporates elements native to motorcross racing, 80s sports style, and the early 2000s.
Look 1

The first look is channelling 80s high school jocks with this crimson leather varsity jacket with long pockets and yellow stripes. Underneath is a black tank top with a dainty bow and a long gold chain. Baggy jeans are held on the hips over boxer shorts with a black belt and large, chunky branded buckle. The faded jeans feature metallic fringe tassels and cinched ankles, revealing white pointed-toe heels, and she accessorises with a mini shoulder bag.

The second look consists of a pastel, tweed, Chanel-style jacket with a plaid design, white
bouclé trim, and ornate gold buttons. Underneath is a white tank top with layers of delicate ruched lace. The model wears straight-leg jeans over boxers with patches of Betty Boop comic strips and the brands signature white paint drops. White heels peep out from beneath the worn hems, and the silver buckle is paired with a silver chain belt with love heart padlock details. To match the gold buttons, she wears an iced-out chain bracelet, a gold ring, a gold logo necklace, green and gold oversized earrings, and a nude mini bag with gold hardware.

This look mixes bright colours, pairing this orange trucker hat with this teal blue top. The hat features layered patches, and the top has an asymmetrical one-shoulder neckline and ruching to resemble one from the early 2000s. On the bottom, the model wears these reconstructed trousers, consisting of a denim waist that is attached to grey sweatpants. The denim element continues with a thick, dark wash denim belt with a huge red logo buckle. The look is styled with high silver platform heels, a silver cage bag, oversized earrings, and sunglasses tucked into the belt loop.

This fourth look is a denim dream! Wearing nothing on top but a cropped and frayed dark-wash denim waistcoat, Dsquared2 makes a bold statement with very little material. A continuous theme in this collection, the model wears a chunky buckle belt over boxers and carries on the dark-wash denim look with these slim-fitting, low-rise utilitarian jeans. Featuring many different-sized pockets and wrinkly, flared ends, the jeans are layered over denim heels and paired with a denim and black leather bag to match the belt. The buckle is also reflected in the branded wrist cuff, and the model wears chunky earrings to finish off the look.
Look 5

This look plays on the trend of corsets by having a white corset under a white cropped hoodie rather than on top of it. It’s styled with a mid-wash denim skirt over a mesh slip with rainbow-coloured diamantés and a thick black belt with a heart-shaped buckle. For shoes, she wears silver platform heels with transparent straps and bedazzled D logos. The sparkle is carried on with jewellery— a thick silver chain bracelet, a giant gold signet ring, a black shoulder bag with silver hardware, and three heavy gold chains.
Look 6

This look is super vintage-inspired, with the 2000s halter top combining old and new with patchwork varsity logos in a super cropped tube style. Layered over boxers, the straight-leg pants resemble a shell suit, and the light blue, dark blue, and orange panelling combination is very nostalgic. The look is styled with red strappy heels, matching the belt and top, and the silver detail is reflected in the cage bag, wrist cuff, and necklace. The belt is also mirrored in the denim hoop earrings, which feature silver interiors and mini red logos.
Look 7

This sporty look is made up of a ribbed, electric blue athletic-inspired set. With a hood and drawstrings, the short-sleeved zip-up is the perfect combination of functional and fashionable, while the low rise skirt definitely prioritises style. Paired with super-high silver platform heels, a white eyelet-detail shoulder bag, and gold jewellery, it’s giving off-duty model.
Look 8

This outfit is perfect for going out. The deep plum-coloured dress is heavily ruched and features a zip
running down the front, which has been opened for this shoot to reveal a super-cropped white tank. The top is complemented with a graphic pink and white trucker hat, adding to the casual and cool vibe. She carries a teal blue acrylic bag in the shape of a heart, and accessorises witha diamond chain, a gold ring, and transparent court heel.

This look is another fresh take on athleisure, with a scuba-material set. The top half consists of a black half-zipped jacket with mesh panelling on the sides and arms to create a slim look, red monogram strips down the arms, and an asymmetric hem. On the bottom, a mesh slip with rainbow diamantés is worn under a pair of scuba-material biker shorts. A leather mini belt bag is worn around the waist with a silver chain, and gold chains are layered around the neck.

This final look is another hot take on athleisure, this time mixing a range of styles to create this monogram look. Firstly, a black and white bikini top is worn under a black polka-dot, sleeveless mesh top with a ballet-core bow neckline. The feminine bow is contrasted with thick gold chains, chunky rings, and bold arm cuffs. The top is tucked into a pair of boxing-style capris with white strips and varsity lettering. These are paired with transparent heels, a black leather handbag, and oversized blackout sunglasses.
