D2MetaMorph: Rewriting Fashion Rules with Disco Royalty
This title encapsulates the essence of the show, where identical twins transform into ’70s-inspired icons, blurring the boundaries between high and low fashion, grunge and glam. Get ready to hit play on your own personal runway, as Dean and Dan Caten take you on a sartorial journey that celebrates individuality and rebellion against the mundane.
Dean and Dan Caten’s fashion show centered around the intriguing concept of twins. Who better than these irrepressible Canadian brothers to explore “the two sides of the coin,” as they candidly expressed backstage? Drawing from their own unique reality as day-and-night doppelgängers, the Catens crafted an entertaining spectacle—a blend of fun, uplift, and maximalist flair that felt refreshingly distinct in today’s fashion landscape, which can sometimes be as flat as the Atacama Desert.
The runway cast featured unmistakable sets of twins. One twin sported Dsquared2’s signature grungy daywear, while the other underwent a magical transformation in a “makeover machine,” emerging glamorously attired in the evening version of their counterpart’s outfit. The stage, a gleaming white box, served as the glossy backdrop for the grand finale. As the Catens took their bow, Dan exuded machismo in fitted black jeans and a tantalizing see-through glittery chiffon shirt, while Dean played the diva with a flame-red hairdo and a daring black corset dress, revealing a stunning pair of legs. Their confident strut atop ultra-high stilettos brought the house down.
The clothing collection showcased a delightful mix of styles in the co-ed show: rugged outerwear with a touch of the outdoors, distressed and patched denim, cozy fair isle knits, utilitarian cargos, rebellious destroyed tees, and even sequined chaps—all playfully combined and styled with effortless allure. For evening wear, black reigned supreme. The girls flaunted body-skimming silhouettes and plunging necklines, while the boys rocked sultry slim tuxedos with feminine undertones. The Catens’ fashion compass points in one direction: sexy, sassy, and guilt-free. Nuns and priests of the silent luxury cult, take note—this show is not for the faint of heart!
