Colm Dillane, AKA KidSuper, a Brooklyn-based artist and designer, is the creative force behind KidSuper Studios, a collective known for its unconventional fashion, art shows, films, and music. For Mattel's acclaimed Styled by Design doll series, KidSuper brings Ken doll to the spotlight, literally, in a bright lime green coat with vintage Ken and Barbie illustrations, inspired by KidSuper's "Everything Is Fake Until It's Real" show at Paris Fashion Week.
KidSuper Studios made a bold statement defining the concept: "Our first Ken doll from the Styled by Design series is dressed in an image from Brooklyn fashion house KidSuper, full of childlike whimsy and creativity that expands boundaries." This fills us with hope that collectors can look forward to further masterpieces from KidSuper Studios in the future. After all, the first doll is truly a masterpiece and bright! Ken's doll ensemble is KidSuper at his best, overcoming boundaries from the streets to the catwalks thanks to the skill of hand-drawing and playful experimentation. Birds fly from striped pants and meet hand-drawn illustrations on a lime-green coat. A sunny yellow shirt and blue baseball cap complete the look.
The bright, stylish packaging of the new ultra-fashionable Ken, which was created by the famous designer Leydiana Chive, is also impressive.
The Gold Label doll will be released on May 9, 2025 at Mattel Creations.
The beauty will be available for pre-sale to Club59 members, but shipping will only be available to the US, UK, Australia, New Zealand and Singapore.
