Chains and biker jackets are in no shortage with the DSquared2 Resort 2013 collection. The unapologetic badass vibe is a refreshing change from the typical breezy resort collections.
The lookbook is a vibrant mix of bright pinks and eye-catching yellows paired with structured monochromatic attires. Strappy metallic sandals, oversized anchor earrings and seafaring caps add an unexpected nautical aesthetic to the series. There is also a number of preppy schoolgirl jackets that bring a rebellious academic look to the mix. Gold chains have not only been layered as necklaces, but also integrated onto hats, jackets trims and used as waist-cinching belts.
The lookbook has been styled and shot against a gritty backdrop complete with an old school pay phone. The DSquared2 Resort 2013 collection is an eclectic mix of clashing alter egos that is edgy and fierce.
