Can you even imagine the furore it would have caused if Harry had attended the Louis Vuitton show instead of Zayn and Louis had followed Kidsuper. They would be dusting off their timelines and adding minutes to their proof videos by telling us of their amazing discovery about KidSuper’s history with Louis Vuitton and how it’s obvious that Louis followed them as he is still in Harry’s life.

They would show up on tiktok laughing for 10 mins and then letting you into their secret discovery. Content successfully created 60k likes, now they can pay rent for another week! Success. Link to another gofundme shared, a few pieces of fake merch sold on etsy! Larrie business is good business for Larries, especially made up Larry proofs!

I had no idea what KidSuper was 🙂.

So Colm Dillane, an American who started printing T-shirts from his native Brooklyn when he was 15, is the designer behind the KidSuper fashion brand. After Virgil Abloh died in 2021, Louis Vuitton has had a series of “guest designers,” and Dillane designed for their Fall Winter 23 menswear line (last year).

Coincidentally Zayn attended the LV FW24 show. KidSuper was not one of the designers featured.

LVMH-owned Louis Vuitton is the world’s largest luxury house: its sales surged 20 per cent to €20.6 billion in 2022 and are expected to reach €21.9 billion in 2023, according to HSBC estimates. Menswear may not represent the bulk of the business, but the role of men’s artistic director is key given the size of the house, the importance of leather goods, which represent over 70 per cent of the house’s sales according to analysts, and the halo effect of the men’s designer’s creative vision on the overall brand’s desirability.

LVMH (Louis Vuitton-Moët-Hennessy) also owns Bulgari, Guerlain, Tiffany & Co, Moët & Chandon, Veuve Clicquot, Krug, Dom Pérignon, Maison Ruinart, Le Bon Marché, Séphora, Christian Dior, Fendi, Givenchy, Marc Jacobs, Stella McCartney, Loewe, Loro Piana, Kenzo, Celine, Princess Yachts, TAG Heuer, Les Echos-Le Parisien Group, and the wine estate Château d'Yquem.

So it’s a huge company and it dominates the fashion industry.

The draw for an autodidact designer like KidSuper is pretty easy to see. And Dillane’s inspiration for Louis Tomlinson, kid from Donny, is also obvious.

KidSuper founder Colm Dillane on Jack Grealish, SpaceX and brand collaboration

The fashion industry has reached a collaborative state of evolution that is blurring the boundaries of the arts, while striving to connect with as many people as possible. To understand how it works, all you need to do is get to know Colm Dillane and his brand, KidSuper.

Each of the label’s collections are a marriage of streetwear, whimsical creativity, and fine sartorial craftsmanship, with each design decorated in paintings by the founder. The best-selling Kissing Bag being one hero piece, which, when closed shut, creates an image of two people embracing.

Streetwear designer-painter Dillane’s meteoric rise has seriously outpaced industry greats. He hosted his first ever runway show in 2019 in Paris during fashion week despite being declined from the official schedule, and by 2023, co-designed the Louis Vuitton Fall 2023 collection.

“The fact that they were rejecting me from Paris Fashion Week, I was like wow, they’re actually paying attention enough to review me,” Dillane tells Jing Daily. “I wasn’t afraid of not being good or talented enough. I was afraid of not even being looked at. Once they said no, I was like, ‘oh, I am 100 percent getting this.’ It became just a time and effort thing.”

By 2021, he had gone on to win the coveted LVMH Prize and Karl Lagerfeld Prize. And, it was in 2022 that KidSuper finally made the official PFW schedule with a 150-piece collection inspired by the characters of his hometown of New York City. That might seem like an immense collection, but the creative is known for his industriousness, having recently released a 25 minute movie for the Spring 2023 collection.

Back in January, it was revelaed that he would be guest creative director for a full Louis Vuitton Fall 2023 collection, becoming the first to follow the late Virgil Abloh, a move that has propelled his popularity in China.

Dillane explains how that Louis Vuitton collaboration has transformed the way the industry and consumers view him. “I’m considered an ‘it’ designer now, it was similar to what the LVMH Prize did for me, but times a million. It changed, and still does change, the way people are looking at me,” he says.

To compare: Marc Jacobs launched his eponymous brand nine years before designing for Louis Vuitton, and it took Kim Jones 15 years after launching his namesake label before he joined the house. Even the new Louis Vuitton creative director, Pharrell Williams, has been running Billionaire Boys Club and its sister brand Ice Cream since 2003.
