The DSQUARED2 Men F/W 2012-13 Show at Milan Fashion Week was Rock n Roll baby! (FWC TBFashion)
The Dsquared2 Men Fall/Winter 2012-13 Full Show at Milan Men’s Fashion Week was truly epic and unforgettable. With their high school rebel classroom concept, Dean and Dan Caten, the Canadian twin brothers who are the designers behind the Dsquared2 brand, really pushed the boundaries of fashion.
The runway was transformed into a classroom, complete with lockers, chalkboards, and even a teacher’s desk. The models walked out with attitude, sporting edgy denim jackets, leather pants, and plaid shirts. The collection was all about the rebel spirit, and it certainly showed in the clothes.
But what really made this show stand out was the use of music. The designers used Pink Floyd’s “Another Brick in the Wall” as the soundtrack to the show, adding a whole other level of rebellion to the already edgy clothes. The music was loud and powerful, and really brought the collection to life.
The Dsquared2 Men Fall/Winter 2012-13 Full Show was a perfect blend of fashion and music, and the result was a truly iconic moment in fashion history. The show was so successful that it even inspired a whole generation of young rebels, who wanted to dress just like the models on the runway.
Since then, the Dsquared2 brand has continued to push the boundaries of fashion, with their unique blend of rebelliousness and luxury. And while the high school classroom concept may have been just a one-time thing, it will always be remembered as one of the most epic and unforgettable moments in fashion history.
The rampant campology of Dean and Dan Caten descended on the school system for this show. The dart-throwing, spitballing antics of their remedial classroom full of pulchritudinous bad apples put one in mind of the old battle cry, “If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.”
The twins took their students in hand and marched a tightly focused, expertly realized collection of contemporary sportswear down their catwalk. In a way, it was nothing they haven’t done before, but there was something so tight about this particular offering that it compelled focus on the clothes, rather than the showmanship.
The militarily precise navy pants, the peacoat, the camel, the shearling, the leather blouson, offered one more take on classics that were all too familiar following show after show of them in the past few days, but they had a razor-sharp polish. Even the showpieces—a parka and a denim jacket whose sleeves were laden with heavy metal—were convincing in context.
