The face of the brand’s WILD Fragrance collection, professional kite boarder Silvester Ruck reunites with Dean and Dan Caten of DSquared2 for the brother’s Spring/Summer 2015 men’s campaign. Appropriately shot by another duo of their own alliterative and fashion fame, Mert & Marcus, Ruck (of DT Model Management), appears over vividly colorful backdrops in smart looks that channel vitality—in awe of the brand’s 20-year-anniversary—as well as sophisticated tailorship.

Jaasu x Essential Homme Dec 2014/Jan 2015 Mixtape

Stars of Essential Homme December 2014/January 2015, Dean and Dan Caten of Dsquared2 basically grew up on the nightclub circuit, oftentimes stepping past those still in slumber on couches or passed out on club dance floors to run to textile classes when the two attended Parsons as teens in New York City in the ’90s. Armed with only street coffees and memories of the likes of Andy Warhol and Janice Dickinson from evenings before to warm their hearts in the cold light of the morning after, it was truly a special time. Now, thanks to DJ Jaasu Mallory, we’ve immortalized this period of bad music, worse clothes—both only in the best way—and development for the Catens with a master mix that dances from ’90s hits to modern grooves.

Audio: Jaasu.
