Punk goes on a Hawaiian Getaway - Dsquared2 Men's and Womenswear Spring Summer 2018 Collection

The guys and dolls of next summer have a penchant for leather, according to Dean and Dan Caten of Dsquared2, but with a twist.
Imagine this scenario:  The punk rocker takes a Hawaiian holiday, returns to join the Boys Scouts, then goes to the Proms.  That sums up the multi-persona of the Spring Summer 2018 collection shown by Dsquared2 a couple of weeks ago at Milan Fashion Week.


While the designers exploit the 50s silhouettes, the look is given an edgy take where biker leather trousers and calf-hair leopard-spotted jackets are teamed with Hawaiian prints on shorts, shirts and denim jackets, displaying a curious eclectic mix of different genres, crossing different paths.

Slick black 50s pieces are contrasted with denim and pastel in a wardrobe destined for a quick city-break.  An oversized leather cardigan is worn on top of a bonded double face leather polo with stripes, gossamer fine tulle sleeveless t-shirts are trimmed with ruffles. A satin bomber jacket shimmers, from its colourful floral design defined in tonal sequins - the sleeves profiled in a row of the same western buckles on the boots. Sweatshirts feature soft leather sleeves.

Then riding on a boys-scout outing theme, the look is enhanced with embroidery patches appliqued on cotton drill shirts.  But the edgy touch by way of a punk-rocker continues.

A parallel theme runs in the womenswear range, with Hawaiian prints on soft leather jeans, jackets and miniskirts, worn with slouchy biker jackets. Flirty full tulle skirts and dresses are covered in transparent plastic. The western style buckles from the men's boots trim a zip-up bodice dress, appear in rows on jackets and sweatshirts and at the top of the hybrid bootie that melds a buckled goth boot with a flip flop.

Floaty long tulle skirts are swathed in ruffles. Multi-dimensional flowers are attached to black ribbons for chokers and bracelets.
