MANILA, Philippines - It is sexy, edgy, irreverent and chic. Make that doubly cheeky chic, because we are talking about the Dsquared2 label created by the twins Dean and Dan Caten.
The Toronto-born, Parsons-trained twins moved to Milan in 1991 and since then have made their mark in the Italian fashion scene with their unique take.
Justin Timberlake likes Dsquared2, and so do Britney Spears,Christine Aguilera, Rihanna, Ricky Martin, Nicolas Cage and Madonna who asked the twins to design 150 pieces for her tour wardrobe in 2001. If you watch the reality TV show Launch My Line, you'd see the twins in action.
The Caten brothers' latest act is the launching of the Dsquared2 eyewear, which is making wearers see fashion design in a different light.Hollywood's A-listers are wearing them, and now the eyewear line is available in Manila with The Optoline Inc. distributing these at premier retail shops nationwide.
Dsquared2 eyewear is designed with multiple sources of inspiration, from retro to contemporary, to fit the tastes of a wide market that includes the preppy, the intellectual, the foxy, the fashionable and the sophisticated.
