Dsquared2 Fall Winter 2026 marks a turning point for the brand, framed as a return to its core attitude paired with a sharpened view of what comes next. The collection moves forward with clarity, shedding uncertainty as it shifts from haze into definition. The show unfolds as a moment of renewal, grounded in instinct and driven by momentum.
A custom soundtrack created with AI technology sets the tone, translating emotions drawn from the designers’ current mindset. Sound becomes part of the narrative rather than an accessory, reinforcing a moment shaped by experimentation and technological curiosity.
Returning to the Canadian roots of founders Dean and Dan Caten, the collection places winter at its center. Dsquared2 channels the energy of cold-weather sports and mountain culture through performance, fantasy, and attitude. The slopes become a site of confrontation and expression, where characters appear like figures cresting an icy summit, each defined by a distinct identity and sense of purpose.
Menswear draws from hockey, skiing, and après-ski references filtered through Dsquared2’s uncompromising lens. Hockey jerseys, ski layers, oversized puffers, and knitted sets nodding to the 1970s appear reworked with force and swagger. The clothes communicate motion and protection, built for impact rather than restraint. Gigantic puffer jackets layer over oversized suits, while expansive parkas wrap bodies dressed in racing suits, knit long johns, and cropped turtlenecks inspired by competition bibs.
Padded vests and biker jackets introduce a confrontational edge, worn with flared leather trousers that amplify movement. Canadian rodeo references shift toward the mountains through heavy fur textures, voluminous coats, teddy jackets, padded nylon chaps, and exposed torsos. Denim appears frosted and dusted with sequins, lined in shearling for trucker jackets and coats. Footwear grounds the looks with square-toed leather ring boots, detailed for alpine conditions while retaining a sharp, hybrid stance.
Womenswear charges forward with the same velocity. Female figures move through the collection as fearless rule-breakers, dressed in glossy, bold pieces that suggest an otherworldly future. Outerwear takes sculptural form through corseted mini dresses constructed from stacked puffers. Cropped jackets inspired by hockey gear pair with denim and nylon piping trousers, while bustiers worn with leggings introduce a sensual tension. Futuristic wedge ski boots push silhouettes upward.
High-shine latex shapes the body in tailored looks, emphasizing structure and precision. A silky nylon off-shoulder bomber with a furry shawl collar adds a note of icy glamour, finished with a prominent furry hat that anchors the look in drama and attitude.
Accessories extend the collection’s focus on speed and performance. Dsquared2 introduces #D2speed hybrid eyewear developed in collaboration with Carrera. Inspired by 1970s ski goggles, the design features a magnetic system that clips on and off, replacing traditional temples with a branded elastic band. Available in black, white, and red, the eyewear reinforces the collection’s focus on adaptability and motion.
