The Boy Who Jumped the Moon: A Return to Wonder Through KidSuper’s Spring 2026 Collection
There are fashion shows… and then there are stories that find you when you didn’t realize you were waiting to be seen.
The latest KidSuper collection, “The Boy Who Jumped The Moon” — Spring 2026 — didn’t just walk a runway. It leapt. And in doing so, it reawakened something inside me: a dormant, golden pulse of childhood wonder that had quietly dimmed beneath the demands of adulthood, of deadlines, of disciplines that prize precision over poetry.
Inspired undeniably by Le Petit Prince, the collection was a tender, surreal fable in fabric — and yes, Eye for Fashion has indeed dabbled in a bit of French, mais bien sûr. There was something ethereal in the atmosphere — a softness that reached for the stars, but never forgot its roots in imagination. A show that didn’t just clothe the body — it held the spirit.
As someone currently studying engineering — a field I deeply admire for its logic and architecture — I sometimes feel the texture of my days growing cold, too rigid, too measured. Engineering is, at its best, an act of intentional imagination. But the reality of study can so often feel like the slow removal of color.
And then came KidSuper.
And color came back.
And suddenly, the little dreamer in me — the one who once fell into poetry and Jane Austen novels like secret gardens — remembered her name.
Colm Dillane’s storytelling reminded me why I began writing, why I began blogging: to make space for emotion, vision, and the wild tenderness of art. His collection didn’t ask to be understood — it simply invited us to feel. The message was crystalline: the dreams we carried as children were never naïve. They were architectural blueprints. The impossible wasn’t impossible — it was just waiting for belief.
Through “The Boy Who Jumped the Moon,” we’re reminded that ambition doesn’t always look like hustle. Sometimes, it looks like floating.
In the full post to follow, I’ll be exploring the looks that left me most breathless — the silhouettes that felt like sonnets, the fabrics that felt like lullabies, and why this particular collection might be one of the most visually literary runway moments in recent memory.
KidSuper didn’t just give us clothes this season.
He gave us a portal.
And I, for one, walked through it —
with the light in my chest turned back on.
Set Design as Dreamscape: Walking on Moondust
The stage felt like a surreal moon playground—part cosmic theater, part lucid dream. The models didn't walk; they drifted. Beneath them, the floor shimmered like stardust. Above, lighting pulsed like distant galaxies. It was as if we had been invited into a child's bedtime imagination, where moon jumps weren't impossible but inevitable.
The music pulsed gently—half lullaby, half heartbeat—as if the entire show was meant to remind us that dreams have a pulse, too.
There was a narrator who tenderly illustrated how he developed his dream of becoming a designer. His words unfolded like a lullaby, painting a dreamscape that drifted somewhere between fantasy and animation. As he spoke, the runway became a moving canvas — each model stepping out as if drawn from the storyline itself, embodying characters as the narrative continued to unfold, seamlessly blending story, style, and soul.
Garments as Characters: Couture That Speaks
Each look felt like a character from a book I hadn’t read yet but instantly recognized. An oversized cream coat, covered in hand-drawn constellations, felt like a map to someone's secret world. A silken gold jumpsuit clung like a second skin, catching the light like a shooting star. One model wore a velvet cape so rich and childlike it could have belonged to a royal dreamer—someone who rules not by power, but by curiosity.
These weren’t clothes. These were memory capsules.
Fabric as Feeling: Textures of Memory
The choice of textiles told its own poem. Velvets like lullabies. Cottons like bedtime hugs. Quilted pieces that seemed stitched with forgotten stories. Even the knits looked like they had been woven by moonlight and passed down between generations.
There was one look—the painter stuck out the most, with a garment full of paint melting into one another a child-like mess, much like the ones I would find myself in with my first paintings and drawing as a child, growing into adolescence, and adulthood
Color as Language: Palettes of Possibility
The collection moved through color like a dream sequence. It opened in celestial whites and creams—the blank page. Then came soft yellows, pale blues, and milky mauves: colors that felt like wishes. Toward the end, deeper tones entered: starry indigos, stormy violets, grounding us again, reminding us that dreams have shadows, too.
But never once did the palette feel trendy. It felt timeless—the way a child remembers a sky.
Accessories and Symbol: The Moon in the Details
It was in the details that the magic whispered. A leather bag shaped like a star. A brooch that resembled a tiny rocket. Scarves with hand-scrawled messages like "draw your way home." Shoes that looked like they had walked across galaxies.
Everything meant something. Nothing was there just to impress. It was a collection of emotional artifacts.
Literary Threads: Le Petit Prince, Reimagined
KidSuper's creative direction was undeniably rooted in Le Petit Prince — and yes, Eye for Fashion has always been partial to a little French influence. But this wasn’t mimicry. It was expansion. A continuation of Saint-Exupéry’s question: What happens to the dreamers when they grow up?
One look featured a fox embroidered across the back of a jacket, like a secret guardian. Another paired a golden rose with a muted suit—a reminder that love, even in its thorns, is worth protecting.
It felt like fashion designed by someone who had re-read the book as an adult and still believed every word.
Performance as Message: A Runway of Reverence
Models didn’t strut. They floated. Some smiled. One stopped mid-walk and looked up, as if truly seeing the moon for the first time. There was no bravado here. Just presence.
It was fashion theater. A kind of poetic performance art. Like a moving sculpture garden of memory.
The Cosmic Metaphor: Jumping as Resistance
"The Boy Who Jumped The Moon" is more than a title. It’s a manifesto. It suggests that what we’re told is impossible can be reached, even surpassed, if we simply believe it was meant for us all along.
To jump the moon is to dream beyond permission.
As someone studying engineering, I often feel caught in systems of rigidity. Precision. Logic. And while that work has its beauty, it can also chip away at the softness inside. This collection gave me that softness back. It reminded me that my artistic mind and technical hands don’t have to be at war. That dreaming and building can coexist.
Why We Needed This Now: Tenderness as Protest
In a world chasing speed, minimalism, and metrics, "The Boy Who Jumped The Moon" chose to chase something slower, deeper, and more sincere: wonder.
This was not quiet luxury. This was loud intimacy. Emotional maximalism.
This is what fashion can do when it doesn’t just dress the body but awakens the soul.
A Note to My Younger Self: From the Moon and Back
to the girl who would read and write under her covers, and dazzled at the starts when she was younger, with her first ever telescope to see the moon, and imagine the posibilities, this show was for you. You who believed your dreams were portals. You who didn’t need permission to feel.
This collection didn’t just show me clothes. It reminded me that my imagination is still alive. That somewhere between formulas and deadlines, I am still her letting her imagination and dreams continue to run wild and inspiring other to do the same just as the little prince taught all of us
Thank you, KidSuper, for dressing that part of me.
Final Stitch
This was not just a fashion show. It was a constellation of feeling. A prayer stitched in velvet. A promise that wonder, once found, does not fade—it just waits.
And in this moment, under this moon, it has returned.

Where style becomes story.
