On January 25, 2025, KidSuper, under the creative direction of Colm Dillane, unveiled its Autumn/Winter 2025 collection at Paris Fashion Week. The show, titled “From A Place I’ve Never Been,” was a testament to Dillane’s innovative approach, blending fashion with art and performance to create a multidimensional experience.
The runway was transformed into a theatrical stage, featuring live violinists and a male ballet dancer who gracefully moved down the catwalk in illustrative suiting. This performance set the tone for the collection, emphasizing the interconnectedness of various art forms—a central theme of the show.
The collection showcased a diverse array of designs, from traditional suiting paired with lopsided top hats to artistic streetwear ensembles. Wool overcoats were embellished with embroidered faces, puffer jackets featured three-dimensional moss decor, and ultra-chunky scarves boasted jumbo-sized tassels. Deconstructed trench coats and oversized hooded fur coats added to the eclectic mix, highlighting Dillane’s signature playful and avant-garde aesthetic.
