Hudson Williams Trades Cottage for Runway at Dsquared2 FW26
The ‘Heated Rivalry’ star made his MFW debut, celebrating his Canadian heritage alongside designers Dan & Dean Caten.
Dan and Dean Caten always bring their signature theatrics to Milan Fashion Week, and Fall/Winter 2026 was no exception. This season, the Dsquared2 duo sent their army down a snow-covered mountain, opening the show with one of the most talked-about actors of the moment: Heated Rivalry star Hudson Williams.
The Canadian actor traded the cottage for the runway, further cementing his status among the fashion glitterati after a standout appearance at the 2026 Golden Globes. Williams made his runway debut in a distressed denim bomber layered over a Winter Olympics–inspired badge, paired with skin-tight jeans and monstrous ski boots.
Canadian maple leaves soon cascaded on the runway, emblazoned on ice-ready jerseys styled with bedazzled puffers and low-slung jorts. Snowboarders also carved down the slopes on graphic knitwear. Voluminous fur coats clashed intentionally with punctured tanks and vinyl leggings, before giving way to sharp double-breasted suits and gem-encrusted outerwear rendered in bold, high-impact hues. Puffed caps added a cartoonish edge, complemented by slope access badges nodding to premium alpine trails.
The iconic final bow from Dan and Dean Caten was met with thunderous applause. The sibling designers stormed the runway atop two muscular models, paying tribute to their Canadian heritage in Dsquared2 hockey jerseys — closing the show on a gold-medal note.
