Colm Dillane thrives on taking risks and defying conventions. His visionary leadership has propelled KidSuper into the spotlight, and his infectious energy and unwavering commitment to his artistic vision fuel KidSuper’s rise in the fashion industry. “I never got good advice from someone who didn’t take risks,” adds Dillane.

Today, Colm Dillane integrated performing arts into fashion. Collaborating with Cirque du Soleil, the event melded a runway show with performances by Cirque du Soleil artists, building on the String Theory concept from last season. This theme explores interconnectedness and the unseen forces shaping our world, using strings and puppetry to delve into who controls the strings in our lives, both literally and metaphorically. This powerful metaphor challenges the audience to reflect on autonomy and interconnectedness, inviting viewers to question who or what controls the strings in their lives and how these influences shape their personal narratives.

Performative arts and fashion share a fundamental purpose to evoke emotion, tell stories, and create immersive experiences. Fashion shows, much like theatrical performances, rely on visual spectacle and narrative to captivate audiences. By merging their worlds, Dillane and Cirque du Soleil amplify the impact of their creative expressions. This recurring theme in Dillane’s work symbolizes the complex web of relationships defining our existence. The show emphasized how great art is rarely created in isolation but results from diverse talents and perspectives forming a cohesive whole. Dillane celebrated the collective creativity driving innovation in both fashion and performing arts.

Kidsuper SS25 collection’s narrative highlights the intricate relationships between fashion, circus, and Cirque du Soleil’s unique visual identity. The KidSuper Spring Summer 2025 collection remains true to the brand’s signature style with vibrant art, bold colors, and eclectic prints, while embracing more intricate designs and elaborate silhouettes. This season features leather and patchwork leather for added tactile depth, new baggier tailoring silhouettes, and jacquard fabrics that bring artwork to life. The exploration of denim continues with fresh, creative approaches, alongside cropped silhouettes that nod to early 2000s style.

The overarching theme of the circus runs through the Kidsuper SS25 / Spring Summer 2025 collection, which includes a special capsule of co-branded KidSuper and Cirque du Soleil products. Dillane has also created one exclusive costume in collaboration with Cirque du Soleil. Each piece in the collection reflects the multi-dimensional nature of the KidSuper universe, where fashion, art, and performance converge to create an unforgettable experience.

KidSuper was created by Colm Dillane. Although KidSuper is best known as artist and designer, Colm Dillane’s clothing label, he prefers to brand all of his creative ventures under this moniker. KidSuper is a creative collective that designs and makes clothes; paints and does art shows; records music; and makes films and music videos, all out of KidSuper’s Brooklyn space.

KidSuper is a platform for Colm’s abounding creativity, and its success has made the artist and designer an unexpected reference in American fashion. Dillane firmly believes that enthusiasm is contagious, and that whatever you do, giving it the utmost enthusiasm will capture people’s heart. “When you are little, you believe you can do anything and that everything is possible – you’re young and you’re free. KidSuper lives by that philosophy.”

Colm Dillane/KidSuper won the 2021 special Karl Lagerfeld Prize at the prestigious LVMH Prize and the 2022 CDFA /Vogue Fashion Fund, was nominated for the 2022 CFDA American Emerging Designer of the Year Award, then the following year nominated for the 2023 CFDA Menswear Designer of the Year Award. He was invited to guest design the Louis Vuitton Homme Fall/Winter 2023 Collection and entered the BoF500 list in 2023.
