The brightly patterned and tasseled knits, wool hats, and blanketing silhouettes subtly but unmistakably recall traditional Andean men’s clothing.
One mountainous aesthetic meets another as modern mountaineering gear like trekking backpacks, climbing harnesses, and snow boots dominate the collection.
Looks are overloaded with accessories and details: water bottle holsters, caps with cowls that can close into balaclavas, leg warmers, sunglasses, jewelry, gloves, scarves, mini duffle bags (the new fanny pack?), and lots of pockets.
Some pieces were harder to place in the overall theme and instead felt like moments where Dean and Dan were just letting themselves have as much fun as possible, like the cowhide boots or glittering sequined shorts.
All in all, Dean and Dan keep things pretty close to the Dsquared2 playbook, though lean more towards its playful and exuberant side than some of the more edgy, more grunge-inflected outings we’ve seen recently. Hiking through a retro-inflected world of mountain gear and gleefully claiming everything they see, they seek adventure in bold combinations and maximum technicality and accessorizing, while staying comfy by sticking with what they do best.
