MILAN (AP) — Dean and Dan Caten gave a heart-felt welcome to the guests, including Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, assembled Friday for the Canadian designing twins’ first live show in two years as Milan Fashion Week opened with a glimmer of optimism despite an omicron-curtailed calendar.
“The big deal is in this room,” they told the crowd in impromptu remarks ahead of the show for their DSquared2 label. ”Thank you for being here, and supporting us in our decision to do a physical show. For us, this is a step forward.”
“It has been two long years, and it feels great to be back,” the twins intoned, before unveiling a colorful and cozy Canadian mash-up of puffer coats, quilted shorts over jeans, layered with delicate wool blankets — just the ticket for getting back out in the open-air mix and away from the surging crowds.
The spike in the omicron variant forced Milan Fashion Week menswear previews for Fall-Winter 2022-23 to be scaled back, with significantly fewer events than initially planned. Access to those was severely limited by pandemic restrictions as Italy’s virus infection tally hits record highs almost daily.
Global powerhouses like Fendi, Dolce&Gabbana and Prada will still host live shows, while Milan mainstay Giorgio Armani canceled entirely and other brands scrapped runway shows for digital. The more than 40 planned live events have been reduced by one-quarter, with some 15 live runway shows going ahead alongside physical presentations.
