Dsquared2 turned a W Amsterdam rooftop into Pride's hottest ticket

On the biggest weekend of WorldPride Amsterdam 2026, Dean and Dan Caten of Dsquared2 hosted a rooftop party at the W Amsterdam. According to Vanity Teen, it became one of the most talked-about gatherings of the weekend, with no runway required. The guest list mixed fashion insiders, queer icons, creators, models, editors and friends of the house. Vanity Teen describes the mood as sexy without apology and glamorous with a sense of humour, with distressed denim, leather jackets, cowboy boots and sculptural sunglasses setting the unofficial dress code. Vanity Teen frames the party as a rejection of the usual luxury-brand playbook. It was not a branded activation, the magazine says, but something closer to the collective fantasy the label has built over three decades: leather, denim, bare skin and a nod to both Studio 54 and a sweaty 1990s rave. As golden hour slipped into the Amsterdam skyline, cocktails circulated and the rooftop became, in its words, a living moodboard. Michael Navarro handled the music, keeping the energy between house, disco and late-night club euphoria, while Gottmik performed. The report adds that the night unfolded as Madonna prepared to headline her Club Confessions performance at the WorldPride Music Festival elsewhere in the city. The magazine's central point is that the party worked because it was not over-produced. There was little corporate messaging or branded installation. Instead, the event spread through Instagram Stories, phone videos and morning-after "Were you there?" conversations. That instinct is the one Vibra is built around. Amsterdam's LGBTQ+ nightlife runs on community, and on people who keep coming back to the rooms that feel like theirs, long after the headline weekends have passed. Vibra brings that together in one place: find the night, buy your tickets, and earn Pulse points for showing up, so loyalty to the scene is recognised all year round.
