Dsquared2's Caten twins launching into limelight

NEW YORK �C Dan and Dean Caten are loving this moment in the limelight. The twin-brother team behind the fashion label Dsquared2 are on TV and the radio, they created concert costumes for Madonna and Britney Spears, and they'll be outfitting the headlining performers at the opening and closing ceremonies at the 2010 Winter Olympics. Earlier this year, they received a star on Canada's Walk of Fame -- the only fashion designers to be honored alongside the likes of Michael J. Fox and Wayne Gretzky. They have a collection of branded MAC cosmetics as well as eyewear and fragrance deals. But any time it seems success might go to their heads, they remember their modest Canadian roots and have a good chuckle. Actually, they do more than chuckle, they crack each other up, communicating in shorthand that takes other people in the room a little while to understand. "We are twins in every sense of the word," says Dan, who describes himself as the more approachable of the two --although he's also the one who'll crack the whip at work. Dean claims he's "taller and thinner," sucking in his cheeks and striking a model-worthy pose. |
