In 1991, the brothers moved to Milan, Italy to create their own collections and become fashion designers.[1] They debuted their men's collection in 1994, and in 2003, they launched a women's collection and a men's underwear collection.[2]
Design and fashion shows[editar]
The brothers are known for designing clothes and staging elaborate fashion shows with "explosive energy and sex appeal."[cita requerida] They design men's and women's apparel, men's and women's footwear, fragrances, and cosmetics.[3].[1] A runway show in 2005 ended with Christina Aguilera stripping male models of their clothes.[2] In September 2007, the DSquared2 fashion show in Milan featured Rihanna entering the stage in an American muscle car, followed by a runway walk.[4] Their designs have been worn by Britney Spears [5], Madonna,[1] Justin Timberlake, Ricky Martin, Nicolas Cage, and Lenny Kravitz.[6] In 2000-2001, Madonna commissioned them to design over 150 pieces for her Drowned World Tour 2001 and "Don't Tell Me" music video.[1] DSquared2's design was also featured in Britney Spears' Circus tour. They have been featured on America's Next Top Model[1] and appeared in the music video for Fergie's "Clumsy."[7] In 2006, the brothers were selected to design the new official uniforms for football team Juventus.[1] In March 2008, Dean and Dan signed an agreement to design sunglasses with Marcolin, an Italian sunglasses and spectacle manufacturer. The collection is set to be released in 2009.[3]

In June 2007, the first DSquared2 flagship was opened in Milan's fashion district. Stores have also opened in Capri, Istanbul, Kiev, and Hong Kong.[8]
