TWINNING FOR PLANET:Dean and Dan Caten are making an effort to make fashion more responsible.
The Dsquared2 creative director will launch a capsule line with a focus to its environmental impact.
Dubbed “One Life One Planet,” the range is to bow in April and will include apparel separates and accessories crafted with certified organic cotton as well as recycled materials.
“We started with the creative process, looking at fabrics which reduce, for certain aspects, their environmental impact and at innovative ways to process and finish products,” Dan Caten said.
The collection includes GOTS-certified organic cotton T-shirts and sweatshirts, GRS certified recycled nylon bomber jackets, and jersey blending organic & recycled cotton. The denim fabrics are made with an innovative stretch yarn that contains more than 50% recycled content.
Accessories include sneakers, espadrilles and bucket bags, as well as belts and baseball caps.
Design-wise, all items carry the name of the project and the brand’s logo. The capsule will also include a section featuring a smiley face and Dsquared2’s signature maple leaf motif.

You can find smiley shorts in summery shades like sky blue, pastel pink, green and sky blue.
Priced between 170 euros and 950 euros, the “One Life One Planet” range will be available in all Dsquared2 brick-and-mortar stores as well as e-commerce, in addition to select retailers globally.
The project adds to the “Black on Black” capsule collection codesigned by the Catens with A.C. Milan soccer star Zlatan Ibrahimović, which was teased last month and will bow in August.
