Colm Dillane's KidSuper label officailly debuted on the schedule for The Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode in 2020, during a global pandemic no less. He collaborates on not only his clothing line, but also his many other ventures: he paints and does art shows, records music, and makes music videos. Coming from Brooklyn, selling T-shirts from his New York University dorm room, and without any formal training, he now heads a global fashion brand which still retains a freewheeling, improvised sense. His dedication to art is very apparent as he regularly uses his own paintings as material to print onto coats. jackets, pants, and shirts.
So for this artful Spring Summer '25 collection, he collaborated with Cirque du Soleil to create a fanciful show centered on marionettes and circus performers. On display were many pieces featuring Dillane's paintings which resemble by turns works by Peter Max, Heinz Edelmann (art director for The Beatles film "Yellow Submarine"), Jean Cocteau, and various California Figurative Expressionists. And this collection adds Matisse-like monstera leaf cutouts, and leaves and flowers all appliquéd to create a 3D effect. I love his rich focus on art for its own sake.
