SHERIDAN, WYOMING – July 14, 2025 – Creativity took center stage at Paris Fashion Week when Colm Dillane — the visionary behind KidSuper — unveiled his extraordinary superhero-inspired interpretation of the all-new Mercedes-Benz CLA. Presented on June 28 at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs inside the iconic Louvre, this bold collaboration fused artistic imagination with automotive excellence.
KidSuper’s Superhero CLA Stuns the Paris Crowd
Colm Dillane, celebrated for his whimsical storytelling and daring designs, transformed the Mercedes-Benz CLA into a vibrant art piece during his Spring/Summer 2026 fashion show. As part of the “Class of Creators” initiative, Dillane had complete freedom to apply his vision, creating a car that radiates playful energy and creative spirit.
Among the standout features of the handcrafted superhero car are:
- Turbine wings and playful balloon details
- A front-mounted winch and rally-inspired roof rack
- A nostalgic slingshot reflecting Dillane’s childhood memories
- Patchwork-style elements showcasing KidSuper’s signature “Kissing Face” motif
In a nod to Mercedes-Benz’s design heritage, the art piece includes wheels inspired by the futuristic 1996 F 200 concept car and side mirrors referencing the classic 300 SL. As Dillane describes it, his creation is “a magical car symbolizing boundless creativity and enthusiasm.”
Limited-Edition KidSuper x Mercedes-Benz Capsule Collection
Debuting alongside the art car, KidSuper presented a 13-piece capsule collection that channels the same bold vision. Scheduled for release in September 2025, the collection fuses KidSuper’s streetwear flair with Mercedes-Benz’s timeless aesthetic, celebrating both craftsmanship and creativity.
Key highlights of the collection include:
- Jackets, shirts, pants, a trench coat, and accessories like hats, bags, and a suitcase
- Crafted from materials such as cotton, canvas, poplin, jersey, wool, and vegan leather
- Every piece proudly displaying the classic Mercedes-Benz logo
One standout item is a T-shirt honoring the historic “Patent Motorwagen” — the world’s first automobile — blending fashion with a tribute to automotive innovation.
The “Class of Creators” Project Celebrates Global Talent
The “Class of Creators” campaign brings together five visionary talents from fashion, music, and design to reinterpret the Mercedes-Benz CLA in their unique styles. Following Ice Spice in New York and Gustaf Westman in London, KidSuper marked the Paris chapter with his art car and capsule collection debut.

Mercedes-Benz has a long history of cross-industry partnerships, teaming up with cultural icons like Virgil Abloh, A$AP Rocky, and Roger Federer. With “Class of Creators,” the brand gives artists and designers the freedom to push creative boundaries and redefine automotive design for a new generation.
