KIDSUPER is a Brooklyn streetwear label founded by Colm Dillane, an artist and designer who builds every collection around his own hand-drawn characters, faces, doves and painterly graphics. The brand is known for treating a garment as a canvas — illustrated prints, appliqué motifs and story-driven details in place of plain logos — an approach that carried Dillane from a Brooklyn basement, where he printed his first tees around 2010, to guest-designing Louis Vuitton's menswear in January 2023.

VIBE TWLV now carries nine new KIDSUPER SS26 arrivals, spanning outerwear, graphic tees, a pastel terrycloth set, denim and a silk scarf. The standout pieces are the Face Camo Jacket, the Dove & Eye Studded Hoodie, the Doves Denim Jeans and the Technicolor Dreams Silk Scarf. Below is our edit of the drop, what makes each piece worth knowing, and how to wear them together. You can explore the full KIDSUPER collection at VIBE TWLV alongside this guide.

The KIDSUPER SS26 arrivals, styled at VIBE TWLV.

Who is KIDSUPER? Meet Colm Dillane

Colm Dillane started KIDSUPER as a teenager, hand-painting one-of-a-kind t-shirts under the name "KidSuper Heroes." That do-it-yourself origin still shapes the label: bright colour, drawn-on characters and a sense that a person, not an algorithm, made the picture on your chest.

More than fifteen years on, KIDSUPER runs a studio in Brooklyn that works across fashion, painting, film and music, and Dillane has shown on the Paris runway and directed a Louis Vuitton men's show. The clothing keeps the same handwriting it had at the start — which is exactly why the graphics read as art rather than merch.

The SS26 language: faces, doves and stars

This drop is built from a small set of recurring motifs. Faces appear as an all-over print on the outerwear; doves show up as leather patches and studwork; stars run across the terrycloth pieces; and a lone astronaut and a technicolor dreamscape carry the more illustrative graphics. Read together, the nine pieces feel like panels from the same sketchbook.

Statement layers: the Face Camo Jacket and Dove & Eye Studded Hoodies

The KIDSUPER Face Camo Jacket in dark green ($310) is the anchor of the collection. From a distance the print reads like camouflage; up close it resolves into KIDSUPER's signature crowd of faces, printed across a 100% cotton canvas. It is cut like a boxy chore jacket with welt pockets, an adjustable waistband, custom brushed-silver buttons and a leather patch at the back. It runs small, so size up if you are between sizes. Wear it open over a plain white tee, or closed with the Doves denim for a tonal, graphic-on-graphic look.

The Dove & Eye Studded Hoodie in black and the Dove & Eye Studded Hoodie in vintage white ($320 each) are the heavyweight of the drop. Both are zip-through hoodies in 580 GSM cotton french terry, with a dove-and-eye motif punched out in metal studs across the chest and sleeves and an antique-brass YKK zip. The cut is cropped and fitted at the waist, and both run true to size. The black reads harder and more evening-ready; the vintage white keeps the studwork quieter and pairs naturally with the pastel terrycloth pieces below.

Everyday KIDSUPER: the Astronaut and Jumping the Stars tees

The KIDSUPER Astronaut Tee in white ($70) is the easiest entry point to the brand. It is a relaxed-fit tee in soft 100% cotton jersey, with a crew neck, ribbed collar and a single hand-drawn astronaut printed on the front. It is the piece to layer under the Face Camo Jacket, or to wear on its own with the Doves denim.

The KIDSUPER Jumping the Stars Tee in black ($70) is the heavier, more fashion-forward tee. It is cut in a new cropped boxy fit from 220 GSM garment-dyed premium cotton, with a screen-printed "jumping the stars" graphic and ladder-stitch detailing at the hem and sleeves. The cropped length sits well over higher-waisted denim or the terrycloth shorts.

The pastel terrycloth set: Stars Rugby and Shorts

The Terrycloth Stars Rugby in pastel pink ($190) reworks a rugby shirt in soft towelling terrycloth, with an appliqué KIDSUPER logo on the chest and star appliqués running down the sleeves. It is unlined and easy in warm weather, and comes in sizes M through XL.

The matching Terrycloth Stars Shorts in pastel pink ($170) share the same fabric and star appliqués, here across the side panels and pockets, with an elastic drawstring waist and a standard fit. Bought together, the rugby and shorts read as a coordinated pastel set — the most photogenic look in the drop, and an easy way to wear KIDSUPER head to toe.

Collector pieces: Doves Denim Jeans and the Technicolor Dreams Silk Scarf

The KIDSUPER Doves Denim Jeans in mud wash ($280) carry the most craft. They are regular-fit, washed 100% cotton denim in a muddy grey-brown, finished with lambskin leather dove patches at the back, a signature superhero embroidery on the coin pocket, custom KS buttons and a leather KS patch at the belt loop. Style them with either hoodie, or with the Astronaut Tee and the Face Camo Jacket for a full KIDSUPER look.

The KIDSUPER Technicolor Dreams Silk Scarf in pink ($170) closes the drop. It is a printed silk square, 21 by 21 inches, in a technicolor dreamscape print. Wear it knotted at the neck, tied to a bag handle, or folded as a pocket square. It is down to its final piece, so it is the one to move on quickly if the print is calling you.

How to style KIDSUPER this season

The simplest rule with KIDSUPER is to let one graphic lead. Anchor an outfit on a single hero — the Face Camo Jacket or a studded hoodie — and keep the rest quiet. When you do want to double up, keep a shared colour or motif running through, as the dove patches on the denim echo the dove studs on the hoodie.

For a full head-to-toe look, wear the terrycloth rugby and shorts as a set. For an everyday version, pair a graphic tee with the Doves denim and finish with the silk scarf.

KIDSUPER at VIBE TWLV: FAQ

What is KIDSUPER known for?

KIDSUPER is known for art-driven streetwear built on hand-drawn and hand-painted graphics — recurring characters, faces, doves and stars — rather than plain logos. The label blurs the line between a painting studio and a clothing brand, which is why its prints and appliqués feel illustrated rather than mass-produced.

Who founded KIDSUPER?

KIDSUPER was founded by Colm Dillane, an American artist and designer from New York. He began printing tees as a teenager around 2010 and grew KIDSUPER into a Brooklyn studio spanning fashion, art, music and film. In January 2023 he creative-directed the Louis Vuitton men's runway show.

How does KIDSUPER fit?

Fit varies by piece. The Astronaut Tee is a relaxed fit, while the Jumping the Stars Tee is a cropped boxy fit. Both Dove & Eye Studded Hoodies are cropped and fitted at the waist and run true to size. The Face Camo Jacket runs small, so size up if you are between sizes, and the Doves Denim Jeans are a regular fit. Full measurements are listed on each product page.

What are the standout KIDSUPER SS26 pieces?

The standout pieces in this drop are the Face Camo Jacket in dark green, the Dove & Eye Studded Hoodie in black and vintage white, the Doves Denim Jeans in mud wash and the Technicolor Dreams Silk Scarf. 

How do you style graphic KIDSUPER pieces?

Let one graphic lead each outfit and keep the rest of the look neutral. Layer a jacket or hoodie over a plain or single-graphic tee, wear the terrycloth rugby and shorts together as a set, and use the silk scarf as a finishing accent. Matching a shared motif — dove to dove, star to star — keeps a busier, layered look coherent.
