Dsquared2 Group and Staff International are reunited: after the termination last March of the contract linking the brand founded by brothers Dean and Dan Caten and the manufacturing and logistics arm of the Otb Group, the two parties announced a strategic agreement to continue their collaboration in the production and distribution of Dsquared2's ready-to-wear collections.
This decision, as stated in the note announcing the agreement, "will lay the foundations for a collaborative approach, with Staff International supporting the brand in the process of internalising the Ready-to-Wear business in Spring/Summer27. The transaction reflects a shared, future-oriented vision aimed at strengthening the historic partnership and the success of the brand'.
"The agreement between the parties is based on an increasingly transparent and synergic approach," continues the press release, "which promotes an active exchange of skills, technologies and distribution resources, with the aim of guiding the evolution and growth of the collections, ensuring stability and cooperation and supporting Dsquared2 in its evolution towards the process of internalisation. The path will be managed collaboratively, through a structured plan based on transparency, respect and mutual trust. This decision represents a significant step in a long-term relationship built on common values and objectives, with deep respect for all the people involved and a clear vision for the future of the brand".
It was also agreed to continue the collaboration for the children's line collections developed by Brave Kid until 2030.
