  Mercedes-Benz has long been celebrated for its high-profile creative partnerships. An exciting cultural crossover is on the horizon, bringing together the legendary automaker and Colm Dillane, the American fashion designer behind KidSuper. As these two visionary brands team up to honor the global soccer tournament, fans can expect a series of unique events and creative collaboration.
Mercedes-Benz and Colm Dillane Join Forces
The festivities are already underway, spanning seven participating nations. While KidSuper’s standout fashion pieces take center stage, Mercedes-Benz is taking the opportunity to highlight its own remarkable 140-year heritage alongside the global passion for soccer.
At its heart, this partnership is a tribute to the beautiful game. As the World Cup unfolds, Mercedes-Benz plans to weave its rich history into KidSuper fashion shows and special Colm Dillane events. A key highlight includes matching iconic Mercedes-Benz vehicles with model years corresponding to each country's greatest triumphs on the pitch.
The seven featured nations are Uruguay, Germany, Argentina, England, Spain, France, and Brazil. Notable vehicle match-ups include the Mercedes-Benz 220 SE (Brazil: 1958), the 300 SL Coupe (Germany: 1954), and the 600 (England: 1966). While many more historic models will be showcased throughout the celebration, these previews give fans a glimpse of what to look forward to—made even more special by exclusive, limited-edition KidSuper design touches.
Fans of soccer, fashion, and Mercedes-Benz can look forward to the launch celebration in Miami during the Spring/Summer 2027 runway presentation in June 2026. Following that, autumn will bring the release of the exclusive Mercedes-Benz x KidSuper apparel collection, characterized by rich storytelling, bold colors, and signature unconventional tailoring.
It is an exciting time for enthusiasts of the Mercedes-Benz brand as it honors "140 years of innovation"—a legacy traced back to Carl Benz filing the patent for his very first automobile. Automotive history changed forever that day, and it's inspiring to see Mercedes-Benz uniting with creative partners to celebrate international soccer culture. We look forward to seeing all the events and historic models the automaker plans to share with the world during this 140-year milestone.
