Just the Facts:
VIENNA, Austria — Canadian twins Dean and Dan Caten, of the design house DSQUARED 2, have been selected to design this year's one-off Mini Cooper, to be auctioned later this month at the 2011 Life Ball, Europe's biggest AIDS charity event.
Judging from sketches released Monday, the Catens' "Red Mudder" will adopt a more rugged appearance, with headlight guards, steel mesh trim, roof rack and off-road tires and wheels. The car also features the Canadian maple leaf on both doors, plus DSQUARED 2 logos front and rear.
The real vehicle will be unveiled at the event on May 21.
Previous designers of the Life Ball Mini include Agent Provocateur, Donatella Versace, Diesel and Missoni. Last year's trio of Life Ball Minis were created by Diane von Furstenberg, Kenneth Cole and Francisco Costa of Calvin Klein Collection.
Inside Line says: The Catens, through their DSQUARED² brand, have designed everything from soccer wear for the Barcelona team to uniforms for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. — Paul Lienert, Correspondent
