Subtlety has never really been Dean and Dan Caten’s thing. Hence the fact that, for Autumn/Winter 2025 – their 30th design anniversary – the pair behind Dsquared2 offered this leather belt, executed in collaboration with young Italian designer Luca Magliano. It’s embossed with a word that could either be coyly taken as an affectionate term of familiarity for a gentleman named Richard, or terminology for a wider panorama of character (non-gender specific, non-complimentary), or indeed just a shorthand for male genitalia. As said epithet is embossed onto a belt designed to circle the hips and hang said word provocatively above the groin (presumably of a snugly cut pair of Dsquared2 jeans) we can guess the intention.
The Dsquared2 Magliano x D2 Embossed Buckle Belt in leather is available now.
