A/N: There's a mention of the twins here. Regarding the content mentioned in the article, I don't think any of us heard anything about them tossing Dsquared clothes along the corridor, as what the Caten twins have said. So we're gonna label this information under rumors, as well.
Also: thank you

UNTIL someone figures out how to make a fashion design reality show for TV without a runway, resident judges and weekly eliminations, comparisons will be inevitable.
It's little wonder why critics see the genre's latest entry, Launch My Line, as a poor knock-off of Project Runway.
After all, the wildly successful Emmy-winning Project Runway started the trend in 2004 and is now into its eighth season.
A similar series, The Fashion Show, where 15 unknown designers compete for a chance to retail their collections, was panned when it aired in the US in 2009.
It was hosted by fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi, supermodel Iman and singer Kelly Rowland.
But Launch My Line host and judge Dan Caten, who is also the founder of high-end fashion label DSquared, was unfazed by such criticism - even though there's no word about a second season since the first one ended in the US in February last year.
We're different, 47-year-old Caten insisted in a phone interview with The New Paper.
