PFW: Kidill Fall 2024 Collection

Fashion Week

Jan 16

"Whatever happened to punk?" That was the question posed on Kidill's Fall 2024 show invitation. Kidill's designer, Hiroaki Sueyasu, has an affinity for youth culture clothing.

The rebellion, the uprising, and the audacity that young people have in the face of the status quo are the energies Sueyasu aims to capture in his collections. Fall 2024 continued that narrative with the late Jamie Reid serving as the initial inspiration. Jamie was my very starting point, “Sueyasu shared. “The loss of something I believed would be in experience somewhat eternally is like a void, he was a stranger, but he was also portraying me. Even though Jamie and the other remarkable figures who created early punk have left us, it is our duty to ensure that the essence of punk, that has influenced our time and our people in countless ways, stays alive. I would like to offer my condolences inimitably”, declaring that 'they are eternal’.

Prints arose as the highlight of this season's offerings. There was plaid (of course), a purple leopard print, water paint florals, and a custom "who killed Bambi" all-over graphic seen on oversized separates. Equally as impressive was the trousers. Some of the denim was so distressed that the pants appeared dirty on the runway, while other pairs featured belt buckle detailing going up the leg. Also worth mentioning is Sueyasu's usage of color throughout this fall collection. Who said punk isn't better in Kolor? Check out the full collection below. Images below courtesy of Kidill.
