Though best known for his offbeat, emotionally charged clothing, Dillane uses KidSuper as an umbrella for everything he creates: paintings, music, films, performances, and whatever else feels honest in the moment. It’s less a brand than a living, breathing studio space in Brooklyn where experimentation is the only constant.
Dillane’s approach is joyfully chaotic, deeply personal, and rooted in the belief that creativity should never be siloed. At KidSuper, fashion coexists with comedy shows, theater plays, music videos, soccer games, and gallery installations. It’s all part of the same conversation—one driven by curiosity, friendship, and an unshakeable sense of possibility.
Since launching, Dillane has emerged as one of fashion’s more surprising figures: a multidisciplinary artist whose DIY ethos has landed him accolades from institutions that don’t typically embrace rule-breakers. He won the 2021 Karl Lagerfeld Prize at the LVMH Awards and the 2022 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund, and earned back-to-back CFDA nominations in 2022 and 2023. That same year, he was tapped to guest design the Louis Vuitton Homme Fall/Winter 2023 collection—making him the first and only outsider to take on the role since Virgil Abloh’s passing. Today, Dillane sits on the BoF500 list and serves as Brooklyn’s official Arts Ambassador, but what matters the most has not changed: it is the work—and the joy of making it.
“The Boy Who Jumped the Moon.”
KidSuper presented its Spring/Summer 2026 Collection under the fantastical ceilings of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs at The Louvre. Colm Dillane invited his show guests to leap headfirst into the absurd, the poetic, and the wonderfully improbable. His latest KidSuper experiment, titled The Boy Who Jumped the Moon, is an art illustrated parable—one stitched in fabric, childhood ambition, and fearless imagination.
Inspired by the curious optimism of youth and the elegant naiveté of those who dare to dream too big, Dillane spins a narrative of cosmic proportions. “When you’re little, you think everything is possible,” he said. “You try things without knowing if you’ll succeed—and even when you fail, you’re still in the air for a second.”
True to Dillane’s ethos, the garments are only part of the story. The show is a complete world: staged, cinematic, and a touch surreal. It recalls the earnest bravery of storybook heroes—those who ask big questions, chase strange stars, and occasionally end up in places adults would call impossible.
KidSuper has always existed between fashion and fantasy, and this season, Colm Dillane reaffirms his belief in risk, reinvention, and radical sincerity. The show is a conversation—between artist and engineer, brand and partners, childhood and adulthood, the runway and the road. “I’ve always wanted to make a children’s book,” Dillane says. “This is kind of that—except the pages walk.” In this gentle manifesto, clothes speak, collaboration dreams big, and somewhere between trying and falling, a boy just might touch the moon.
