2 1 2 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I high medium lapel, the Capri is crafted from super fine stretch wools and stretch cottons in an elegant palette of navy, black, grey and beige. Other daytime suit fits include the Milan cut with a two- buttoned notch lapel and slim fit pant, the Paris with its two-buttoned peak lapel, the Napoli double breasted or single buttoned jacket and the Tokyo suit, with its shawl collared jacket. All of these styles are also rendered into evening suits via silk fabrics and stylish touches – such as a satin black contrasting collar on a dark grey wool Tokyo suit. A tuxedo set that will garner notice, the Beverly Hills one- buttoned jacket with high peak lapel, gets an updated treatment in contrasting textures for next summer. A rich navy silk design features a satin black lapel, which also trims a blue velvet jacket. A black paillettes-encrusted lapel on another Beverly Hills black silk number is designed for the consummate showman. Bowties, ties in unexpected shades including plum, beige and azure, and crisp poplin slim fit shirts – some with bib fronts, pleats and pin collars – are all designed to enhance the style of the suits. Elsewhere, in the ready-to-wear line from the dynamic D2 duo, their signature deconstructed looks appear in the form of denim, khakis, notched-collar jackets and shirts, and long shorts. The silhouette is 1950s-inspired, cropped and wide, with unfinished hems and cuffs providing something of a desert-island feel. Fabrics are lightweight and fluid for summer, with chambray, cotton, and fine, double-sided waterproof gum fabric all featuring prominently, and exquisitely tailored tie silk adding a touch of refinement. Stitching, threading and embroidery are some of the techniques seen throughout the ready-to-wear line, while tribal motifs and tattoo-like patterns make a statement. And, of course, it wouldn’t be a Dsquared2 collection without its signature leather looks, including this season’s quilted jacket, and an array of fashionable accessories, bags and shoes. For the urban adventurer, this Spring Summer collection is the perfect backdrop for a summer adventure.
