Dsquared2 are bringing the Amalfi coast to our wardrobes
Teaming up with Maria Grazia, the Italian brand brings the spirit of seaside escapes to life with a coastal-inspired capsule collection
If your summer plans don’t include a last-minute escape to the Amalfi Coast, Dsquared2 has the next best thing: wearing it.
The Canadian-born, Milan-based designers are bringing a taste of Italian seaside living to wardrobes everywhere with a new capsule collection created in collaboration with iconic Nerano restaurant Maria Grazia.
A long-time favourite of Dsquared2’s Dean and Dan Caten, the waterfront restaurant (AKA the birthplace of Spaghetti alla Nerano) has provided the perfect backdrop for a collection inspired by sun-drenched weekends, long lunches and the art of extending a holiday far beyond its intended checkout date.
The opening drop features three exclusive pieces designed to capture the spirit of the Mediterranean. A graphic T-shirt showcases hand-painted ceramic motifs and Amalfi-inspired artwork, while a co-branded baseball cap offers a more casual take on coastal dressing. Completing the trio is a handcrafted woven bracelet, inspired by the vibrant colours of the sea, sand and surrounding landscape.
Of course, Dsquared2 doesn’t do subtle when there’s an opportunity for a little drama. Marine-inspired illustrations and handcrafted details blend coastal tradition with the brand’s signature sense of playful excess – essentially, what happens when a seaside escape meets a Milanese wardrobe.
The collaboration also extends beyond clothing, with Dsquared2 designing exclusive staff uniforms for Maria Grazia a Nerano’s summer season, bringing the collection’s Mediterranean mood into the everyday restaurant experience.
