Fashion brand KIDILL presented the Fall Winter 2022.23 Menswear Collection on January 18th, as part of the ongoing Paris Fashion Week. For this season, the brand celebrates the work of American writer, novelist and artist Henry Darger. The Outsider Collection explores an idea that Henry lived with both his feet set in reality and non-reality, living simultaneously in the real world and insanity. The collection honors the lifestyle of an outsider who acts on ones own faith without the influence of the social ideals.
