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.
“When you are little, you believe you can do anything and that everything is possible – you’re young and you’re free” Dillane says. That sense of wide-eyed enthusiasm—the kind usually reserved for kids with big dreams and no backup plan—remains the heart of the project. The name itself nods to that: a reminder that when you're young, the world still feels limitless. KidSuper tries to hold onto that feeling.
KidSuper built its following long before its Paris shows reached their current scale. But during the early months of the pandemic, when the industry was forced to rethink how creativity could exist without physical proximity, the shift became impossible to ignore. Dillane responded not by waiting, but by writing. Original short films, conceived, written, and directed by Dillane, became vessels for storytelling when clothes alone were not enough. Intimate, strange, funny, and deeply human.
For Fall/Winter 2026, Dillane returned to cinema.
The show opened with an original short film, filmed in Paris, written and directed by Dillane, and starring Vincent Cassel. An emblematic figure of French cinema, Cassel’s early work left a lasting impression on a young Dillane. Like Ronaldinho walking the KidSuper runway seasons ago, the gesture was about continuity. A childhood reference made real.
That tension carried onto the runway.
The collection explored cinematic archetypes. Legends and icons sat beside personal references. Childhood role models shared space with modern heroes. Dreamlike has always been central to KidSuper’s language, but this season it was filtered through the film’s darker, more introspective tone. Reflection, restraint, and maturity entered with new weight. In a meta gesture, thinking outside the box turned inward. The collection became a self-aware exercise for a brand long associated with maximal expression, allowing quiet, structure, and intention to shape the clothes. It asked how evolution can happen without losing curiosity, and how growth can remain true to its own mythology.
In the final gesture, film and show folded back into one another. What was real. What was performed. What we inherit. What we choose. If fashion has always been a stage for KidSuper, this season asked what happens when the curtain lifts and the story keeps going.
