This vintage Y2K Dsquared2 is an absolute holy grail for collectors of early Y2K high-fashion archive pieces. Designed by Dean and Dan Caten for the Spring/Summer 2005 runway collection, this tailored blazer is a masterclass in subverting traditional tailoring. Inspired by the concept of an "inside-out" construction, the jacket flips structural elements on their head — contrasting fluorescent yellow and hot pink bound piping traces the silhouette, structural pinstripe fabric peeks through the shoulder seams, and electric blue hand-stitch detailing finishes the lapel buttonholes. A signature utilitarian centre clasp belt cinches the waist. A rare blend of Western cowboy tropes and avant-garde structural deconstruction. Made in Italy. In mint vintage condition.
Dsquared2 was founded in 1995 by Canadian twin brothers Dean and Dan Caten, who relocated to Milan to build one of the most irreverent and boundary-pushing labels in Italian fashion. Known for fusing North American references — denim, workwear, Western — with sharp Italian tailoring and a provocative edge, the brand became a cult favourite through the late 1990's and 2000's. Their runway collections from this era are now highly sought after by archive collectors worldwide.
