KidSuper was created by Colm Dillane. Although KidSuper is best known as Colm’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 Colm Dillane 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, the 2022 CFDA /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 BOF100 list in 2023.

Colm Dillane cannot be contained. The founder of KidSuper created one of today’s most sought-after brands by making it in his image, imagination, and dreams, where boundaries do not exist. This former professional Brazilian footballer, award-
winning director, and platinum record producer brings the magic and the wonder to a world in need of more joy, access, and inclusivity. His infectious and illuminating energy has powered a meteoric rise in the worlds of fashion and creativity. Colm does not quit.

After being rejected twice, he took Paris Fashion Week by storm in 2020 after finally being accepted he showed the celebrated Everything’s Fake Until It’s Real collection with a claymation runway show that “featured” Salvador Dalí, Naomi Campbell, Stephen Hawking, Pele and more. This show earned him comparisons to iconic designer with surrealist sensibilities. Subsequently, he was recognized as the first American to win the LVMH Karl Lagerfeld Prize in 2021 building a streetwear/high fashion crossover brand that tops every magazine’s most-wanted list.

A true resident of the world, Colm is a reflection of his nomadic upbringing, moving fluidly in and out of communities of all creeds, cultures, and convictions. Born to an aspiring artist from Spain and a fisherman from Ireland, this native New Yorker inherited his mom’s curiosity and artistry, his dad’s grit and bravery, and the world’s optimism. A true-first generation American where nothing is given and everything is earned, Colm is grateful every day and you can see it in all that he creates.

To call his works creations is an understatement. They are celebrations. Celebrations of the best parts of all of us, the perfectly imperfect things that make each of us magical. Dillane challenges everything we thought we knew about what fashion was and ensures that everything we will come to know is a reflection of the world he knows we all deserve. A world where boundaries do not exist. A world and industry where dreams continue to come true. And where a kid with no business being in fashion is the future of the fashion business.

Colm earned a 2022 CFDA American Emerging Designer of the Year nomination and a nomination for the 2023 CFDA Menswear Designer of the Year Award only the following year. He’s also lauded amongst his contemporaries on 2022’s
VOGUE Business’ 100 Innovators list, the HypeBeast 100 list, and the BOF100 list. Kidsuper has collaborated with Meta, Puma, Coca-Cola, Suicoke, A$AP Mob and others. He was invited to guest design the Louis Vuitton Homme Fall/Winter 2023 Collection.
