For Fall/Winter 2026, KIDILL‘s designer Hiroaki Sueyasu chooses silence. By removing a performative stage, he focuses on the clothes themselves, allowing their contradictions to stand clear.
The brand has always been rooted in punk, and Sueyasu’s work lives in opposition. It balances chaos and stillness, cuteness and hardcore, audacity and fragility. He does not seek to resolve these tensions, but insists on their coexistence. For him, fashion is a means of survival, a way to steady the mind within chaos.
This season, those tensions are distilled into the garments. A smoky, muted palette is confronted with black silicone rubber distressing. A collaborative MA-1 jacket with Alpha Industries wraps a rigid military shell in soft tulle, blurring lines between aggression and femininity.
Artworks by Trevor Brown, a longtime figure in Tokyo’s underground, appear throughout. They include oversized devil and angel wings that engulf the body, sharply curved mod coats, and layers of tulle over graphic imagery of girls. These give physical form to opposition.
Punk symbols are pushed to excess. There are cut-out fabrics, quilted skirts, tartan checks, bondage details, safety pins, and metal embellishments. A collaboration with Umbro features over 40 adjustable points across panel transitions. At the same time, the collection maintains an ongoing partnership with bespoke tailors, allowing technical refinement to coexist with rebellion.
Sueyasu draws from cultural turbulence absorbed from London streets, 1990s Tokyo, and cyberpunk imagery. When these personal memories meet the present, they create encounters between incompatible forces. He intentionally avoids sophistication, embracing the strength of what feels unfinished.
For Sueyasu, “HEAVEN” does not mean a perfect utopia. It represents liberation from taboo and a questioning of social norms. It is a metaphor where opposing states (child and adult) come together.
