Mert and Marcus design capsule collection with Dsquared2

Fashion’s favorite photography duo is moving into the world of
design. Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott are teaming up with Dsquared2 for
their first fashion collection. Known to most simply as Mert and
Marcus, the photographers have been pioneers in digital fashion
photography since first teaming up in 1994.

The photographers are lending their experience in the fashion
industry to their upcoming capsule collaboration with Dsquared2.
Called Mert and Marcus 1994 x Dsquared2, the collection is inspired by
the 1990s, displaying the era through the lens of Mert and Marcus’
perspectives.

Dsquared2, the brainchild of Canadian twins Dan and Dean Caten,
will lend its streetwear aesthetic to the collaboration in the form of
bold and bright colors and a hip, underground vibe. The line will
include styles of T-shirts, overalls, bombers jackets, hoodies and
dresses. It is set to release online and in select store in
February.

Mert and Marcus were recently honored at the Fashion Awards 2018
earlier this month at the Royal Albert Hall. The pair were awarded
with the Isabella Blow Award for Fashion Creator, which recognized
their contributions to shaping the visual aesthetics of multiple
brands within the global fashion industry.
