For their inaugural cruise collection, Dean and Dan Caten focused on dapper and luxe pieces that juxtaposed uptown chic with resort casual. Key looks ranged from tailored suiting to a belted dress that evoked a trenchcoat.

Runway: Dsquared, Fall 08

Edited by Lilith Valsoe

At yesterday’s DSquared show, ski met ska as the Caten twins sent looks down the runway that merged a London street style sensibility with the warm, active looks of a ski bum. The boys created an elaborate backdrop to set the mood: a wintry Boystown with fire escapes, a tavern, and a blistering snowstorm, as reported in men.style.com.Bleached denim, leather MC jackets, skinny braces and tiny white button front shirts set the London mood while luxurious parkas and chubbies, ski pants and chunky sweaters were all about the slopes. The result was less camp and more saleable than past collections, for sure. We’ve got pics after the jump! photos: men.style.com credit: wearethemarket.com
