DSQUARED² DRESSES TOKIO HOTEL FOR THE
“WELCOME TO HUMANOID CITY” EUROPEAN TOUR 2010
On February 22th, in Esch Alzette, Luxembourg, marked the beginning of the concert tour of the acclaimed German band Tokio Hotel, Welcome to Humanoid City. The tour hits a total of 32 European cities including Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Madrid, Barcelona, Rome, Milan, and concluding finally in Paris on April 14th. The impressive show took place on the stage of a subterranean city, mysterious and futuristic, pervading tones of black, red, and dark blue.

Bursting into this mysterious scenario from an unknown planet are the four members of the Hamburg based rock band, dressing in clothes designed by DSQUARED² from their new Fall/Winter 2010-11 collection. Front-man and leader of the band Bill Kaulitz will wear costumes designed especially by Dean and Dan Caten, designers of DSQUARED², all inspired by the mysterious mood of the tour.

“We are so excited about this collaboration. Tokio Hotel are young, fresh and modern….it’s going to be fun. Long live the real rockstars!” – state Dean and Dan Caten.

The singer will alternate between five extremely spectacular and striking looks, beginning with a black leather bodysuit underneath a structurized vest in metalisized fabric and reflecting patches from which illuminating, pulsing tubes emerge.

Overtop the same jumpsuit will then be placed a padded white armour shell-vest in plastic, from which sprout and puncture out electric cable-like tubes.

Once the white armour is removed Bill will wear a wide-shouldered jacket with spiked overlays protruding along the length of the arm. Giving the jacket a glowing light are hundreds of smoky black crystals and reflectors beneath each overlay.
The fourth look that accompanied the black jumpsuit was a structured top covered in mirrored shapes, fastened with screws and long pointed “killer” studs, giving the effect of a super-modern amour. Beneath the shoulders protrude tubes that glow and flash depending on their positions.

For the more intimate acoustic part of the concert, Bill Kaulitz will diverge from armoured vests and shells to dress in a black leather biker jacket with shoulders completely adorned with long nickel spikes, a t-shirt printed with a blood-splatter sketch, and a belt adorned with dangling chains atop skinny jeans.

In all of the looks Bill will wear an array of chains and smoky crystals around his neck, and black leather gloves adorned with metal pieces and long dangling chains.

For the Italian dates of "Welcome to Humanoid City" tour, Dsquared2 will also give away 2 VIP tickets for each concert. The dates will be 25 March in Turin, 26 March in Padova and 11 April in Roma.
