Dean and Dan Caten, co-creative directors of Dsquared2 have often tapped into Canadian references, being that they are native sons of Canada. And one of those references this season is the cowboy/cowgirl culture of the Canadian frontier.
As an homage to the Canadian frontier, the design duo has chosen Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid as rebel Canadian cowgirls. Kendall and Bella both walked in Dsquared2 fall 2018 fashion show. Between the two top models, their social media numbers count past 10 million Instagram followers.

Garment District win
The embattled Garment District in New York City got a bit of relief on Friday. The fashion industry, community leaders, and the Mayor’s office unveiled a plan that is a supportive comprehensive package for fashion production.
The plan includes a new tax incentive program to preserve manufacturing space in the Garment Centre, supports a public-private partnership to acquire a building dedicated to garment production, and institutes a special permit to curb hotel development in the district, according to a press release from New York City Economic Development Corporation. Additionally, the plan includes a proposal for targeted zoning changes that will have a positive impact on the Garment District.
The Mayor’s NYC administration has committed up to $20 million in city capital to facilitate the acquisition of a building in the Garment District. Back in the late 1990s fashion designer Yeohlee and Nanette Lepore lead the fight to preserve the Garment District. It looks like all the hard work is paying off!!
