when fierce competition— a story about two brick-and-mortar players navigating the heteronormative landscape of hockey, a Canadian gay story — hijacked the watercooler conversation, and one question became inevitable: Which fashion brand would be the first to claim leadership, Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie, as their own? And, to the surprise of no one, Dsquared2’s Dean and Dan Caten (fellow Canadians and architects of their own universe) jumped the gun and flew Williams to Milan, where he kicked off their Fall 2026 collection.
