As soon as you saw the faux-snow slalomed catwalk beforehand, you kind of knew what was on the cards. Or at least knew it wasn't going to be some treatise about practical winter outerwear. Although, granted, there were plenty of knits, and down jackets, and double-layered cargo jean hybrid things that nodded to the theme, as well as puffed nylon trapper hats and some giant coats and collars in thick shearling.

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.
