DSQUARED2 celebrated their 30th anniversary last night by turning the runway into a New York club scene, even including a gathered crowd outside, for the ultimate birthday bash. 

The runway was graced by famous faces in leu of their 30th anniversary. The stars that featured were Alex Consani, Irina Shayk, Isabeli Fontana, Tyson Beckford, and of course iconic supermodel Naomi Campbell closing the show, and not forgetting a special performance from JT at the end.

Doechii kicked off the show as she pulled up in a military-style vehicle exiting with dollar bills and in an army inspired look; wearing denim booty shorts, an oversized chunky brown belt, and a green corseted jacket, she stormed the runway along with a makeshift cigarette packet fixed to her sleeve which she pulled a cigarette out of.

Born in Canada, Made in Italy, is the founding brothers, Dean & Dan Caten’s slogan but it’s clear their inspiration was drawn from America as we saw Western cowboy tropes, biker leather and an abundance of New York City references including the classic yellow taxis and NYPD cars. 

Dean and Dan unveiled heavy duty denim, studded leather jackets, fur trims, a whole lot of army green, plus the return of DSQUARED2’s iconic Skate Boot. Cowboy references ran deep as the audience saw a heavy nod towards the trend that’s been so prominent over the past year and clearly on its way to making a return this autumn. Brought to life by the models strutting in cowboy boots with silver accents, leather chaps and jackets, flannel shirts and neckties, and not forgetting the most important accessory – the cowboy hat (and a belt here and there) to bring the looks together.

Renderings of leather and denim played a significant role in DSQUARED2’s show, seen as both gilets, bottoms, and everything in between, and most importantly Naomi Campbell’s whole ensemble including thigh high leather boots for the finale. This along with a few baker boy caps dotted throughout gave a nod to a sort of 1930s American pluck.

DSQUARED2 didn’t forget about America’s punk-rock era with nods towards the band KISS in both the makeup and the clothing which included their logo as the show started to draw to a close. We also got a bit of 70s disco thrown into the mix with neon catsuits, jewelled disco ball dresses, a multi-colour sequin tank, and a roller skater in a fishnet vest with a bedazzled denim jacket performing jaw dropping tricks on the runway.

To finish the show off, the DSQUARED2 brothers pulled up in an NYPD cop car and were walked down the runway in handcuffs by a police officer. Arrested for that bombshell of a show? We should hope so.

]]> Milan Fashion Week has always been a hotspot for cutting-edge fashion and unforgettable moments, and this year’s Dsquared2 Spring/Summer 2025 show was no exception. Designers Dean and Dan Caten once again mesmerized the audience with their unique blend of high fashion and street style, presenting a collection that was both bold and refreshing.

https://www.instagram.com/p/C8TyYbYKFGf/?hl=en&img_index=1

The Dsquared2 Spring/Summer 2025 collection featured a vibrant colour palette that played with contrasts and harmonies. Bright neon shades of pink, green, and orange were juxtaposed with more subdued tones of beige, white, and black. The use of innovative fabrics was a standout feature, with materials ranging from sheer organza to metallic leather, creating a dynamic interplay of textures and finishes.

The collection was a testament to Dsquared2’s ability to fuse disparate styles into a cohesive whole. The runway saw an eclectic mix of oversized streetwear, tailored suits, and glamorous evening wear. Baggy cargo trousers were paired with tailored blazers, and elegant dresses were accessorized with chunky trainers.

https://www.instagram.com/p/C8PUBU2qvNr/?hl=en&img_index=1

This year, the Caten twins placed a strong emphasis on sustainability, showcasing pieces made from recycled and eco-friendly materials. The collection also highlighted the impeccable craftsmanship that Dsquared2 is known for, with intricate embroidery, hand-painted designs, and meticulously crafted accessories.

https://www.instagram.com/p/C8TyYbYKFGf/?hl=en&img_index=1

Several standout pieces captured the audience’s attention, such as a thigh-length metallic trench coat that shimmered under the runway lights and a series of sheer dresses with bold floral appliqués. The theme of transformation and duality was prevalent throughout the collection, with garments that could be worn in multiple ways, reflecting the versatility and adaptability of modern fashion.

The front row was graced by an array of celebrities and fashion icons, including Mia Khalifa, sporting a daring custom Dsquared2 outfit including a faux fur shawl and black, satin slip skirt and tiny, heart-shaped nipple covers. Singer Bad Gyal also attended, wearing a short, sheer, lace, and sequin encrusted mini dress and clear, acrylic heels. Other stars in attendance also include singer and actor Aron Piper, and fashion stylist Anna Dello Russo – both wearing Dsquared2.

The Dsquared2 Spring/Summer 2025 show at Milan Fashion Week was a spectacular celebration of innovation, sustainability, and style. Dean and Dan Caten once again proved their ability to push the boundaries of fashion while staying true to their brand’s identity. The collection not only captivated the audience with its bold designs and vibrant colours but also set a new standard for future fashion shows in terms of creativity and sustainability. As the fashion world looks ahead, Dsquared2’s latest collection will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the highlights of Milan Fashion Week 2025.

]]> 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

Image by Dsquared2

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.

Look 2

Image by Dsquared2

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.

Look 3

Image by Dsquared2

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.

Look 4

Image by Dsquared2

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

Image by Dsquared2

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

Image by Dsquared2

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

Image by Dsquared2

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

Image by Dsquared2

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.

Look 9

Image by Dsquared2

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.

Look 10

Image by Dsquared2

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.

]]> Milan Fashion Week was in full swing over the weekend, and amongst it’s many highlights were a bohemian rhapsody, a strip back to classic tailoring, creative homages to brand roots and a somber showing from Giorgio Armani due to current world events. Here are Voir’s fashion highlights of the weekend.

Giorgio Armani

Silence fell on the catwalk of the Giorgio Armani show this week as the designer made a conscious effort to not use any music in the show as a sign of respect for those being affected by the tragedies currently unfolding. This isn’t the first time the designer has altered his show to reflect current events, as the brand became the first to cancel a show due to the then developing COVID-19 pandemic back in 2020, showing that even though clothes are the passion, it is the care and love for life that comes before all else.

The collection itself felt quietly optimistic in nature. An array of razor-sharp tailoring, the kind that is so embedded within the brands DNA, made its way down the catwalk in a sea of shimmering silvers, greys, blacks and blues. The undeniably cool colour palette had an air of futurism about it, the kind of future that was so commonly predicted within media from the 60s, metallic and with a straight edge. Whilst the collection was designed months before the current events unfolding, that theme of looking to the future and hoping for a better one could not be more relevant.

Watch the show here.

Dolce & Gabbana

The metaverse and digital fashion are hot topics for the industry at the moment, and D&G have taken note, with their show this week being a synthwave dream. With a runway lit up in neon blues, pinks and purples, the future was present from the start and the clothes only followed suit. Big silhouettes were a staple of the show, with gloriously exaggerated shoulder pads atop classic tailoring, furry hats so large they covered the entire head, and fur coats and puffers that completely swallowed the models’ bodies whole. If this is how the fashion of the future is going to look then the world has some seriously sleek style to look forward to.

Ferrari

The combination of fashion and technology continued with the Ferrari show. With clothes made from the fabrics found within the brand’s car interiors, there was a real blend of worlds on the runway. With a combination of suits and coats that are as slick as the cars themselves, and pitstop uniforms consisting of jumpsuits and overalls designed more for looking good than practical use in the garage, the Ferrari show was a unique mix of two avenues which don’t often collide.

Trussardi

A dramatic elegance graced the runway of Trussardi this week. Huge, sweeping coats fell across the models and created silhouettes that were simply divine, aided by the fact that most of them were black which added another layer of drama and sleek attitude to the garments. Despite most of the collection being black it didn’t feel like the catwalk was screaming out for colour, instead owning a cool sense of sophistication and glamour.

Tokyo James

Tokyo james brought a masquerade ball to Fashion Week this season, and the flair of his show was unparalleled. Models walked down the runway donning a multitude of different masquerade masks in a variety of bright colours, patterns and fabrics creating a sense of mystery and intrigue. The traditional theatricality of these masks was combined with some serious punk attire such as leather jackets, double denim and some crazy hairstyles that can only have been held up by multiple cans of hairspray. To top off a range of ridiculously slick and modern tailoring, brought some serious class to the show whilst still remaining playful with a variety of bright colours and patterns on show.

Ambush

Romanticism was a strong theme for this seasons Ambush show. Tastefully seductive silhouettes made by pristine tailoring and dresses combined with towering boots and heels exposing the skin played into the side of fetishism, whilst the numerous mini bags paired with the outfits, some in the shapes of hearts, played into the idea of a perfect romance itself.

Jil Sander

The one word that comes to mind to describe the Jil Sander’s collection is elegance. From start to finish, the runway was walked by a treasure trove of simply sophisticated tailoring, the type that will remain timeless and never age. This focus on timeless sophistication was a conscious effort of designers Lucie and Luke Meier, with Lucie telling Vogue Runway:

“We were thinking about elegance. We really wanted to focus on sculptural tailoring, almost couture-like, but we like this new energy, a very cropped silhouette.”

As you would expect, the tailoring itself was meticulous to its core. Boxy blazers, dresses, skirts, overcoats and even a couple of capes made their way down the runway, in a sea of wonderfully understated neutrals that added to an overall sense of sophistication oozing from the show. Jil Sander went back to a time when fashion was more about the craft and simplicity, but did so in a way that remained modern and fresh.

Marni

From a show rooted in the timeless simplicity of fashion, to one now which embraced the sheer capabilities of the craft. The Marni show was, frankly, wild and anything could go… and it did.

The collection embraced the theatricality of fashion with outfits that, typically, wouldn’t be worn out and about on the everyday but nevertheless were coated in personality, telling individual stories that you wouldn’t soon forget. The collection also borrowed from and paid tribute to a huge variety of different themes, movements and subcultures from across fashion history, from gothic, Victorian style outfits to bohemian fantasies, and New Romantics era boxy oversized suits to the rebellious nature of the punk movement. There really was something for everyone in this show.

Bottega Veneta

Before becoming a fashion house, Bottega Veneta was founded as a handbag business, and the first two looks of their show paid tribute to that in a subtle way that perhaps isn’t immediately obvious to the eye. Both outfits (a white tank top and jeans and white shirt and jeans) were made of leather. Whilst some eye might be raised on the sustainability and ethics of that practice there’s no denying that it is a uniquely thoughtful and a considerate way to pay homage to the brand’s roots and keep its history and identity intact in a way that fits its current form.

The collection as a whole was designed for those who have somewhere to be, which translated perfectly through the nature of the clothes. Clean, simple looks with an unmistakably high-end quality to them. Sleek leather suits and coats were a particular highlight of the show, coming in colours of black, brown and a dramatic red with these suits managing to be an equal balance of statement piece and everyday attire.

Dsquared2

It wouldn’t be inaccurate to call the Dsquared2 show this week a bohemian wonderland. From start to finish, the fashion house bombarded us with looks comprised of multiple clashing patterns, which shouldn’t work together, but did so effortlessly! A rainbow of colour which came from a palette plucked straight from the 70s with lots of brown, beige, orange, distilled greens and yellows and some classic burgundy, and layers upon layers upon layers. Seriously, so many layers.

It would be easy to combine all of this and have it be extremely overwhelming on the eyes, but creative directors Dean and Dan Caten avoided such a scenario and instead presented the nature of bohemianism in its truest, most natural and authentic form.

HUI

If there is one thing that was present more than anything else at HUI’s show, it was extravagant oriental prints displayed across a variety of garments. Spread across classic tailoring, stunning dresses and cropped jackets, these prints delivered a touch of organic Chinese culture to proceedings which made the show feel delightfully authentic.

Ermanno Scervino

Romanticism once again raises its head, this time thanks to Ermanno Scervino. Heart shaped motifs were present from the beginning, before once again, moving into some designs and looks that fell more on the risqué side. Bare shoulders and legs were aplenty and see-through slip dresses added even more playful mischief to proceedings.

]]> Emerging from the lifeless shackles of the pandemic, timeless designers from Prada to D&G have agreed to leave the past behind and look to the ebullient future with their menswear FW22 collections this Milan Fashion Week. Shell suits, ski- wear, and excessive fur brought the life and excitement that we’ve all been craving back to the runway, right on time for our post-pandemic adventures.

Prada

Prada left casual wear in 2021 after owning Milan Fashion Week with a workwear meets sci-fi assemblage. Traditional trousers and trench coats were reinvisioned in shades of lime green and sky blue, alongside shell suits reminiscent of early 2000s space odyssey movies.

In a statement about the show, designer Miuccia Prada said her FW22 men’s collection aims to ‘make people feel important.’ And the Italian born designer didn’t disappoint. It would be impossible not to feel an air of authority in the shoulder-emphasising mahogany and black leather trench coats which marched Prada’s runway this week.

The fun, yet professional collection is a vision of post-pandemic style. Overdressing became a thing of the past after we wore nothing but joggers and jeans for two years. In turn, Prada’s FW22 men’s collection enables the wearer to look sophisticated yet striking everyday in overcoats and knitwear in an array of playful colours and styles.

Dolce and Gabbana

Among the zestful lilac lighting of the D&G runway emerged Machine Gun Kelly, who dropped his usual loud, punk attire for a white suit dripping in golden studs to open D&Gs FW22 Milano show. With his new fiance Megan Fox watching from the crowd, the fashion house couldn’t have found a star more fitting than Kelly to foretell the flamboyant menswear collection which was to follow.

Inspired by this generation’s individuality and flair, Dolce and Gabbana left their comfort zone behind with this collection, as they strived to represent the revolutionary style of Gen-Z. The Italian duo’s distinctive collection left it impossible to predict what would emerge from the runway wings next. With all-pink, ultra femme suits followed by monochromatic ski-style puffers styled with visers, to models wearing nothing but boxers and fur coats. It’s safe to say this show was a true reflection of the brand’s new ‘anything goes’ spirit.

Druv Kapoor

Kapoor’s new menswear collection branded ‘soul tech’ has been described by the designer as a representation of our true consciousness, destined to live eternally through technology. The futuristic collection, featuring overcoats covered in trippy prints and embroidered with quotes such as, ‘Linear Time is an Illusion’, is relevant in today’s digital age, in which our lives, jobs, and identities are becoming aligned to technology like never before.

After establishing his brand in 2013, Indian fashion designer Kapoor remarked that he wanted to move away from the notion that a male collection cannot incorporate femininity, with a goal to ‘break the archaic rules of gender’. Kapoor kept to his word during Milan this week, as his menswear presentation burst with fuchsia hats, floral bomber jackets, and pink embroidery. The brand incorporated masculine and feminine clothing features which would look amazing on anyone regardless of gender identity.

Dsquared2

The strings of LED lights which danced along the runway delivered a mystical mood to Dsquared2’s FW22 Milan menswear show. The Italian/Canadian brand conjured a collection which saw outdoor wear reinvisioned to become simultaneously practical and chic.

Dean and Dan Caten have evolved since their brand began with basic menswear like shirts and trousers. The brand is now characterised by its bold and eclectic styling. The twin brothers layered puffer gilets, suede fur-lined jackets, and turtlenecks in daring shades like orange and green this Milan fashion week- the perfect ensemble for stylish post- pandemic exploring.

The brothers are not afraid to combine clashing colours and prints into one look, which their FW22 collection demonstrates. From sequins with fur to tartan with stripes, no pairing is off- limits when it comes to Dsquared2.

Etro

The Italian fashion house, renowned for paisley prints and corduroy trousers, brought a relaxed and comfortable approach to high fashion in this week’s FW22 menswear show.

Creative director of Etro’s male collection, Kean Etro, sent roll-neck woolly jumpers with baggy vinyl pants, loose fleece co- ords evocative of pyjamas, and ankle- length paisley print coats which could pass as dressing gowns down the runway this week. Even the red and green paisley carpet stormed by Etro’s male models complemented the bold and wacky 1980s aesthetic which the brand proudly promotes.

Etro continued the playful, futuristic spirit of the season; flaunting cartoon-like exaggerated button sizes, ultra-shiny leather, and bold colour combinations like green and purple.

Fendi

A solid black runway illuminated by nothing but soft white lighting was the perfect precursor for Silvia Fendi’s minimal FW22 menswear collection. Fendi’s Milan show kissed goodbye to clashing patterns and welcomed the structured layering of rain coats, knee- length shorts, and waistcoats in a single shade or print. Neutral tones of beige, taupe, and grey dominated the collection, perfectly imitating the hues of the autumn months which the collection is prepared for.

The monochromatic moments were a highlight of Fendi’s menswear. Against the all-taupe and all- grey looks, stood out an all-burgundy ensemble which hinted at the season’s favour of leather. Leather belts, leather shorts, and leather bucket hats all featured in the passionate red hue and continued the brands legacy of producing ultimate leather creations.

Fendi also debuted re-imagined 1920s-style male knitwear. As male models on Fendi’s FW22 Milan catwalk sported knitted jumpers which revealed the chest through a cut-out design favoured heavily by designers this season, paired with matching knitted trousers in cream and grey.

Blue Marble

1980 met 2080 in Bluemarble’s FW22 men’s collection. While Anthony Alvarez’s Parisian brand is still in its infancy after being established in 2019, the designer was not afraid of making a bold mark on Milan Fashion Week. His Milan runway saw sequinned jeans, 80s-style Aztec prints, and scarfs in a multitude of vivid colours, perfect for staying warm but stylish in the autumn/winter months.

When speaking about his brand, Alvarez admitted he wants his clothing to represent and celebrate people’s differences, and his FW22 delivered on this promise. Whether you like to keep it classic with a beige trench, or live to be extra in a purple leopard print fleece, this collection has something for everyone.

Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini Resort 2021

Named as “The joy of dressing” Italian designer Lorenzo Serafini drew inspiration for his latest collection in the depths of lockdown, after feeling the sudden desire to get glammed, dressed up, and to celebrate the return to normal life; as we all felt during the lockdown. Hence, making it appropriate to inject a message of optimism and strength into this Spring 2021 collection.

To embody this emotion, the collection strikes a balance between ‘city glamour’ and ‘countryside elegance’, devised for the Philosophy girl. The collection is balanced out by leisurely looks, like a white floral detailed dress, a ribbed vest and a striped off the shoulder shirt, counteracted with extreme high waist jeans, a pink and black tartan corset paired with leather pants and a ruffled red polka dress. The use of layers integrated with each look gives an effortless glam for either day or night attire.

Tods Studio Pre-Spring 2021

Putting aside his concerns and apprehensions of the future, following a Covid-19 era, Creative Director of Tod’s, Walter Chiapponi, made a commitment to praise Tod’s craftsmen and the factory workers who’ve brought their designs to life.

The pre-spring line-up gives off a fall aesthetic with a muted palette motif through colored yarns and cotton. Jackets were a major part of this collection with a puffed red parka taking centre stage, a cropped biker jacket, and a khaki camo cargo jacket, all paired with casual attire to give a youthful underlay to the collection. Giving off a 70’s sporty vibe, with twists of sophistication and class, it’s a collection that is fashion-forward but keeping with their signature classical style.

Dsquared2 Men’s and Women’s Pre Collection S/S2021

Keeping in line with their signature athletic and street style aesthetic, Dsquared2 gave us a taste of their Pre-Spring/Summer 2021 collection to showcase their men’s and women wear in an exclusive MFW pass to their backstage set. The collection includes energetic, sporty pieces embellished with their iconic Dsquared2 logo and coloured details. Carefully selected technical fabrics, including nylon, cotton, maintain a casualness to the apparel seen in sweatshirts, oversized suits, denim, and pull over parkas.

Versace: Flash Collection

Versace could not have selected a more appropriate way to tease their up and coming Flash Collection. As soon as Donatella takes the reins and know we are in for a treat. Especially for Milano Fashion Week Digital, Versace not only gave us a live insight into their latest collection all the way from Milan itself but simultaneously, A J Tracy exclusively debuted his new track alongside models, showcasing the collection. Taking the digital fashion show to an entirely new level, we were presented with a very 1990s/noughties style music video. There was no glitz. There was a little glam. But it wasn’t needed. The clothes and AJ took centre stage.

Inspiration? Donatella spent the majority of her lockdown in Milan, like all of us, wondering about the pitfalls of sustainability in the fashion industry and came to the decision of ‘flash collections.’ Definition? A flash collection is a small collection that can be presented, produced, and delivered to stores faster than regular-sized collections. The idea? To reduce the overproduction of clothing that contributes to the fast fashion industry and to reduce waste that often comes with it.

Keeping in line with iconic Versace designs, the clothes with this collection are just as audacious and unapologetic as the designer herself. Mixing the iconic Medusa symbol with its most recognizable luxury print, the collection is balanced out with modest and sophisticated items that complement the “flashiness” of the collection. Cobalt blue, navy and snake print ash grey is the colour motif, flattered with hints of green and yellow, presents a slightly mysterious atmosphere to the collection that will not go ignored once the collection drops.

Numero 00: Vietato Non-Amare Men’s SS21 from Menswear

“Love is freedom. We are all equal” is the underlying message of Numero 00 SS21 collection. Titled “Vietato Non-Amare” the short film explores the relationship between love and freedom as Italian designer Valerio Farina shows how love is represented through people and places in honor of Milano Fashion Week Digital.

In light of the message he is portraying with this collection, fabrics and colour palettes were carefully selected in order to embody the freedom of expression and to reinforce the message that “we are all equal” in a time where we are chained with restrictions in the way we love and show expression. Block white and black, combined with sandy beige and baby blue, sit at the forefront of the collection that when combined with geometrical prints present a very urban and edgy collection, true to Numero 00’s name.
