Dsquared2's Pre-Fall 2014 lookbook is lensed inside a jail setting and features a range of uniformed looks. The fashions evoke an edgy and carefree air and are displayed in a fresh palette of navy and bright orange hues.
"Inspired by correctional and mental institutions, the collection intrigues the label's fans with its bad boy attitude". The menswear line highlights tough yet elegant looks that are guaranteed to get one noticed both for their daring design and color-infused palette that is a departure from Autumn's muted tones.
Standout pieces from Dsquared2's latest collection include structured orange jackets and all denim suit pairings. In addition, the label presents a remixed white shirt design that boasts a height chart graphic. This iconic print is used as a backdrop when capturing a mug shot.
