The Misadventures Of Kidsuper (Hardcover)

Hardcover. Colm Dillane is one of the most exciting menswear designers to come out of New York in recent memory, and this is a visual autobiography, a chronicle of his evolution from wunderkind to KidSuper.The brainchild of Manhattan native Colm Dillane, Brooklyn-based KidSuper melds a surrealist painters sensibility with a whip-smart understanding of trends in youth culture. With bold, colorful inventions that straddle the line between streetwear and truly wearable art, Dillane got his start selling graphic T-shirts out of his dorm room at NYU in the early 2010s.Losing none of a childs ability to play well with others, and a mindfulness that anticipated the circular fashion economy, Dillane developed an ethic of collaboration that has catapulted him from a DIY downtown storefront to one of the most anticipated shows during Paris Mens Fashion Week. His mania for tactile and textural effects were on display in a series of memorable shows that were buzzworthy as much for the fashion on display as the icons walking the runway, from New York favorites such as Action Bronson to footballing legends such as Ronaldinho to performances by global superstars like Rosalia.His provocations, complete with an unmatched soundtrack, won him acclaim at the highest levels, securing him a coveted assignment to design an entire menswear collection for Louis Vuitton prior to the appointment of Pharrell Williams. As such, this book incorporates the artwork and all-over graphics that have won him fans from New York to Tokyo, approximating some of the explosive energy that is at the heart of his designs. Colm Dillane is one of the most exciting menswear designers to come out of New York in recent memory, and this is a visual autobiography, a chronicle of his evolution from wunderkind to KidSuper.
