Dean and Dan of Dsquared2 have quickly become an iconic team in the fashion world. Their Fall/Winter 2010 runway collection was edgy and in your face, including classic and destroyed denim, unique jackets, and post-urban materials. The entire show had a post-apocalyptic/vampire feel using mostly black fabrics an showing few brightly colored pieces. The video of the full men's show and the women's show is available at their website www.dsquared.com.
This dynamic duo in the fashion world has certainly made an impression on the population that is in tune with the world of fashion and their Spring/Summer line is a turn back towards classy and Western-inspired.
Dean and Dan are inseparable. The two are always together. As someone who has read countless interviews with them, it's weird when I see a photograph of one, but not the other (Granted, I can't even tell them apart.) The two work together and are a seamless team tour de force in today's fashion.
As writers, we may find ourselves in a place where we have to work together with other writers. Sometimes, your voice needs to remain intact. Other times, you need to make your voice sound more uniform with the other writers' voices that you're working with. Often we see this more in academic writing, science journals, and business plans. Much more practical uses than creative writing. But what we need to take away from Dsquared is their style of fashion icon. They are a team and are always mentioned together. They look similarly and sound the same. And their fashion excels because they work together and make their ideas one.
Now I'm not suggesting that the next business proposal you have to write comes at the end of intense togetherness time with your coauthors. But maybe talking to them and working closely with them is the integral part. Maybe through that, you can make your voices sound as one, just like Dean and Dan's ideas appear as though one designer is behind the fashions.
