New Collection "ONE LIFE ONE PLANET" for the future. Dsquared has taken a new step forward.

Every year, billions of new items of clothing enter the Japanese apparel market. It is said that about one-fourth of this amount is discarded without ever reaching the hands of others, and the state of the fashion industry as a whole has been questioned for some time. Following this, it came to light last year that some of the unsold clothing from around the world is being disposed of in the deserts of Chile in South America.

Against this backdrop, "Dsquared2" was launched to create more responsible clothing.

The capsule collection, ONE LIFE ONE PLANET, will be released this year, and is designed to be as environmentally friendly as possible. Designers Dean and Dan Kaitin explain, "We started with the creative process, looking at materials that would reduce the environmental impact of certain aspects, as well as new ways to process, treat, and finish our products.

ONE LIFE ONE PLANET" will go on sale on April 15. A pop-up store featuring this capsule collection is currently being held at Hankyu Men's Osaka until April 26.

This is the first collection in which Dsquared2 clearly expresses its concern for the environment. It will be interesting to see how it develops in the future.
