>> Dan and Dean Caten are in serious self-promotion mode, and seem to be following the Isaac Mizrahi model of radio-TV show one-two punch. They're following up their supermodel-heavy catfight-themed Spring 2009 ads with a Fall 2009 set, just shot in London, featuring Lara Stone and themselves - “We’re all about self-promotion now; we’re celebrities in our own right,” Dean semi-joked.

The duo just wrapped taping on a new show for Bravo, Launch My Line, a fashion competition series for which they perform hosting and judging duties. The premise follows 10 fashion designers paired with pop-culture notables who all want to launch their own clothing line. They told Teen Vogue:

Dan and Dean are getting real in America! We think it's a way for the American market to learn who we are as designers - now, for the first time, they'll be able to see us and hear us. Most people here think DSquared2 is all about jeans and T-shirts. Yes, that's our bread and butter . . . but we can cut a beautiful jacket, too!

They have a new radio show, too »
