TRAVELLERS ON A MISSION

2022.03.01

BY GUIA ORTOLANI

With great reference to latest Men’s show, Dsquared2 FW22 bohemian travellers have the purest intentions: peace and love. The way they dress reflects exactly their goals.

Layers on layers are an evident mark of the collection, they offer protection and comfort in a refined maximalist distinctive aesthetic. Every look is extremely rich and full of small meticulous details, from the opening to the finale.

Earthy palette of natural shades, as amber and forest green offset the multi layer silhouettes and the textures’ variety, from lustrous leather to fuzzy mohair.

Cosy, chunky knits and outerwear, as ponchos and oversize puffers, alternate to precious materials as the stones on the tulle skirt of the first look, as the charms and the crystal necklaces, all parts of the travellers hippy look.

Light and flowy shirts, printed dresses and sheer pants are completed by oversize washed ultra-soft jeans in a mix and mash of colours, energy and optimism.

Very 70s velvet defines loose pants and some outerwear detail, paired with a variety of suede boots.

Dean & Dan are experts in having fun with wit and craziness, they always welcome us with a renewed energy and with the same goal: to have fun.

“Every outfit hides a memory, a talisman, an amulet found during a journey.”
