The sky is a rumor, we chase with shoes untied. Some dreams whisper, others shout. Half fiction, half dare – all heart, a love letter to the leap, signed mid-air at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs. Gravity is just a suggestion; there lives the spirit of KidSuper. A one-to-five guest ratio, “bring a village” motto – a surreal symphony of seat-squatting cousins, who may or may not be real. Welcome to the show that no one wants to miss, even if it means standing on the moon.
This season, The Little Prince has crash-landed in Brooklyn with a sketchbook full of punchlines and protest poems. Creative director Colm Dillane unveiled a whispering challenge from our 8-year-old self: What if we actually tried? As a secret language for those who never stopped asking, What if a hat could be a flower? What if a trench coat could tell a story? Through mid-flight silhouettes and crayon-whispered tones,
The collection carved a universe of contradictions—parts workshop, daydream, and museum reverie. Moon-patterned suits floated like helium. Blazers bore the brushstrokes of bedtime dreams. But make no mistake: this wasn’t nostalgia for its own sake. Dillane is an engineer of emotion. A trench coat became a canvas. A pinstripe vest grew so wide it eclipsed the body beneath it. Origami hats flirted with surrealism; stacked-book bags mocked the rules of balance.
Enter: Mercedes-Benz. As part of the Class of Creators, Dillane transformed the CLA into a comic book fantasy on wheels—turbine wings, balloon bursts, and a childhood slingshot reworked in gleaming chrome. Part-time superhero, on other days a toybox chaos or a post-apocalyptic joyride. This isn’t just a car—it’s a wild hallucination in motion.
Meanwhile, back on Earth…
PUMA returned to the field with Dillane, offering co-branded kits for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup and a capsule collection slated for fall. And then came the plot twist nobody saw coming: Papa John’s. Yes, pizza. But not just pizza—a croissant pizza, hot bag turned art object. Less utility, more poetry in motion. The message? Even fast food deserves fantasy. And in a moment of full-circle storytelling, football icon Mario Balotelli closed the show, suited up like a dream remembered from a FIFA match you watched on a pirated stream at 2AM. Because sometimes, the absolute legends are the ones we made up ourselves.
In a time of collapse, crisis, and calculated PR, Dillane doubles down on something dangerous: sincerity. Not as branding, but as belief. The belief that trying—even when it’s messy, even when it fails—is still worth it. After all, when you jump, you’re in the air for a second. And for Colm Dillane, that second is everything. So tonight, sleep like the moon is watching. Fold your fears like laundry. And jump—not to fall, but to fly for that second where everything feels possible.
