Kidsuper's Cool Compositions Steal the Show Amidst Cheers and Ronaldinho's Runway
In a season marked by the emergence of independent designers creating fashion cults, Kidsuper stole the spotlight with an exhilarating runway showcasing a collection of effortlessly cool compositions. The audience erupted in cheers as Ronaldinho, the Brazilian football legend from the 2002 World Cup-winning team, graced the catwalk, radiating joy in a colossal faux fur coat.
Within the dynamic landscape of Parisian menswear, where names like Egonlab and Sean Suen are forging their paths, Colm Dillane's team at Kidsuper stands out for its unparalleled passion.
​
Kidsuper's charm lies in its street couture flair, evident in pieces like the offbeat sheepskin coat adorned with cutouts of New York brownstones and quirky Zoot suits featuring depictions of saints and sinners.
The runway kicked off with a ballet dancer twirling in a Kidsuper-fringed and ruffled tunic, followed by a captivating scene of a grieving widow draped in voluminous black tulle.
​
Colm Dillane, previously associated with Louis Vuitton, has seamlessly integrated ideas and techniques from his past into this collection. The show featured eye-catching multi-collage handbags and men's bags, a nod to his stint at LV.
​
In a collection themed around strings, a standout moment unfolded as a model in a white corduroy suit traversed the runway, gradually revealing a black knit sweater attached backstage, creating a visually arresting unraveling effect.
​
"We had to rehearse it a hundred times, and this is the first time it worked. Even today's run-through didn't go as planned," chuckled Colm Dillane, hailing from the small town of Rathdowney and embodying a fearless creative spirit.
​
Despite the intentional avant-garde style, the craftsmanship and raw finishing added authenticity to the spectacle, confirming Kidsuper's distinctive appeal.
Colm Dillane and the Kidsuper team are carving a path that demands attention in the fashion landscape. A noteworthy moment occurred when Michael Burke, CEO of Vuitton and soon-to-be head of LVMH's Fashion Group, was the first to extend his congratulations to Colm Dillane.
​
A Brooklyn-raised creator, Colm Dillane's ingenuity is celebrated as fans and admirers behind the scenes raised glasses in his honor, chanting his name. In a fashion world where legends like Rei Kawakubo remain reticent, Colm Dillane's spirited revelation, "Ronaldinho arrived just two hours before the show, but we still had him walk the runway!" ignited a chorus of applause and spirited cheers from his team, echoing through the venue.
