Dsquared2 presents the capsules ONE LIFE ONE PLANET and Smiley
Dean and Dan Caten towards sustainable fashion
March 21st, 2022
After years of research on how to reduce environmental impact and maximize social impact in the work and creative processes of creating a fashion collection, Dsquared2 is set to launch the ONE LIFE ONE PLANET capsule as the brand's response to contribute to a more responsible industry. «We started with the creative process,» Dean and Dan Caten recounted. «We looked at fabrics that reduce, in some ways, their environmental impact and innovative ways to process and finish products.»
As a starting point, the ONE LIFE ONE PLANET capsule uses organic cotton for the t-shirts and sweatshirts, jersey composed of a mix of organic and recycled cotton for some models (50% recycled and 50% virgin organic cotton) and recycled nylon for the One Life over bomber jacket. The denim line features a new quality of fabric with organic cotton. Made with stretch yarn with over 50% recycled content and an innovative degradable elastane.
The ONE LIFE ONE PLANET collection includes a special capsule part of the SS22 season featuring a smiley accompanied by a green maple leaf, while the ONE LIFE ONE PLANET Smiley collection includes sweatshirts, t-shirts, joggers and shorts for men and women made of recycled and organic cotton. Accessories include espadrilles, sneakers, bucket bags for the summer as well as handbags, belts, baseball caps and a bandana. The collection will be launched next April in Dsquared2 stores, online and at selected retailers.
