The DSquared runway show in Milan reminded us of crashing a sixties high school prom. Designers Dean and Dan Catin set the scene with a “Class of 2013” banner and disco balls. Some of the models casually carried cigarettes in hand, like teenage rebels at prom who would sneak outside to smoke. DSquared featured a collection with a high-end vintage flare, complete with angora sweaters, high-waist skirts, toggle coats, silk cropped pants, doctor bags, and brooches. Most outfits were paired with leather gloves and cat-eye shades. We especially loved the low cut, knuckle-skimming gloves.
The looks in the show combined a tasteful mix of prep and edge; leopard stoles were draped over dresses and oxfords were layered under crew necks. DSquared’s fall 2012 dresses stayed classically chic in solid black, but they kept things exciting with feathered waists and tuxedo-bow accents. Our favorites were the jackets, especially the Tiffany-blue, floor-length coat with jeweled buttons and the bright green croc jacket. Monday’s show integrated everything we love about old-school glamour and modern-day style.
