The offering sees Creative Director Hiroaki Suiyasu adopt punk as a way of life, not something to be toyed with, manipulated, or ignored. Suiyasu’s usual chaos stood strong and stormed the runway with disruptive energy and a mind of its own. Kidill SS24 went against traditional values and limitations, presenting 31 looks that battle the patriarchy.
The brand references rebellious subcultures worldwide, from London’s punk boys to US anarchist rebels. The first look to walk the runway set the tone for the defiant collection to come: square-shaped bedazzled chest armor, abstract zippered trousers, and an eerie elephant mask. Models continued wearing animalistic headgear, next time crafted from mesh with dangling ears. Gender-bending ruffled dresses and kimonos accompanied patchwork kilts and shredded knitwear with tangled spiderwebs, while metal harnesses contained flaming cartoon underpinnings.
