Colm Dillane’s Spring/Summer 2027 presentation, Resenha, transformed the runway into a celebration of creativity, craftsmanship and the enduring culture surrounding the world’s game.
As the FIFA World Cup 2026™ unfolded across Miami, the city became more than a destination for football. On June 25, Nu Stadium offered another kind of arena, where fashion, art and sport converged as KidSuper unveiled its Spring/Summer 2027 presentation before an international audience of creatives, athletes and supporters.
Created by founder and creative director Colm Dillane, Resenha took its name from the Brazilian expression that describes the conversations, laughter and rituals surrounding the game. Rather than focusing on the action on the pitch, Dillane turned his attention to the moments that exist before the whistle blows and long after the final score—those fleeting exchanges that transform sport into a shared culture.
That idea has long shaped KidSuper’s story. Before Paris Fashion Week, international exhibitions and global collaborations, football was the constant that carried Dillane from one city to another. Wherever he traveled, a local pitch became a place of introduction, proving that the game could dissolve barriers of language and geography with remarkable ease.
Those experiences informed a body of work created in partnership with more than fifty artists from around the world. Rather than presenting a singular point of view, the runway became a dialogue between cultures, blending illustration, tailoring and sporting references into designs that celebrated individuality while revealing unexpected points of connection. Each contribution enriched the narrative while remaining unmistakably KidSuper in both spirit and execution.
The looks reflected the label’s instinct for storytelling as much as design. Expressive artwork, playful proportions, and handcrafted details appeared throughout, balancing humor with craftsmanship while embracing the spontaneity that has become synonymous with the brand.
Presented between two major FIFA World Cup fixtures, the show embraced Miami’s role as one of the tournament’s cultural crossroads. The stadium filled with the sound of drums and chants as flags rippled through the stands, dissolving the familiar boundaries between runway presentation and sporting event. By the finale, that distinction had all but disappeared as children joined the models in a procession recalling football’s iconic pre-match tradition, prompting an emotional response from families gathered throughout the venue.
The evening also highlighted a series of creative partnerships. McDonald’s introduced a limited-edition KidSuper merchandise collection inspired by football culture, while Mercedes-Benz expanded its relationship with the designer through bespoke vehicles and fashion pairings celebrating seven football nations. BÉIS, founded by Shay Mitchell, previewed an upcoming collaboration with the label, with Mitchell herself appearing on the runway in tribute to her Canadian heritage.
Additional partners included Hublot, whose timepieces complemented selected looks, Bose, whose limited-edition KidSuper headphones accompanied the presentation, and Maison Perrier, continuing its creative relationship with the brand. Students from Istituto Marangoni Miami also played an active role in the production, reflecting the spirit of exchange at the heart of the project.
The audience brought together figures from across fashion, music and sport, including Alessandra Ambrosio, Russ, Shenseea, Reykon, Hannah Traore, Keshad Johnson and Shilo Sanders.
Following the runway, Sean Paul surprised guests with a live performance as fireworks illuminated the Miami skyline, before celebrations continued with an official after-party at Nu Stadium and later at E11EVEN Miami.
While Resenha showcased KidSuper’s distinctive creative vision, its lasting impression extended beyond the runway. For one evening in Miami, the show became another kind of playing field—one where imagination, craftsmanship and culture spoke a universal language, proving that the strongest connections are often made long before the final whistle.
