Dsquared2 Breaks Up With Staff International
This weekend’s top fashion drama? Dsquared2‘s split with Staff International. The punky brand led by twin designers Dean and Dan Caten has terminated its licensing deal with the group ahead of its 2027 end without citing a cause, according to Hypebeast. However, Staff has fired back by filing a Court of Milan lawsuit against the Catens to stop the move—watch this space for updated! Dsquared2’s parent company Dsquared2 Group’s working arrangement with Staff first began in 2000, and was later extended by 17 years in 2010. However, the news is just the latest advancement at Dsquared2; the brand just kicked off spring with its newest underwear collection, fronted in a sizzling new campaign with hotties Matty Carrington and Stefano Marshall!
