Dear Shaded Viewers,
For Fall/Winter 2026–27, Hiroaki Sueyasu chooses silence.
KIDILL has been punk since its debut in 2014. Hiroaki works with contradiction, but also with balance: innocence and aggression, cute and hardcore, fragility and strength. These opposites stay together. Fashion becomes a way to survive and remain steady within chaos.
The collection expresses this tension piece by piece. Muted tones meet black rubber distressing. A MA-1 created with ALPHA INDUSTRIES combines military structure with soft tulle. Artworks by Tokyo underground artist Trevor Brown appear as wings, coats, and layered images that wrap the body.
In a short and intimate interview, Hiroaki explains that the anime-ish details in the collection are a way to connect Japan with the rest of the world. Japanese culture as a bridge to the international. He is always looking toward what’s next.
Music, as always at KIDILL shows, was great. I also loved the bows in the collection.
Yours digitally,
Pedro
