CLASS OF CREATORS
*The Mercedes That Grew Up On Cartoons
written Monica de Luna
Someone gave Colm Dillane a car, which is already funny, but then he turned it into something with turbine wings, cartoon lungs, balloon veins, and a winch on the front like it’s planning a very glamorous rescue or pulling something heavy from the past. The CLA, but make it handmade. Superhero-coded.
F200 wheels, 300 SL mirrors, patched like it got into a fight with nostalgia and came out the other side grinning. It sat in the Louvre, obviously, at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, where objects already know they’re being watched, and now this car, full of references and jokes and ideas that maybe only Colm gets, but that’s the point, because why explain when you can install.

They call it “Class of Creators” but it feels more like a sandbox with corporate approval and very good lighting. Before this it was Ice Spice in Manhattan. Gustaf Westman in London. Next it’s Hot Wheels or Riot Games or both. Colm went full Colm, gave the car a childhood, let it speak in KidSuper. Then made clothes to match.

Art Piece Capsule Collection
There’s a trench coat that looks like it could fix your engine or steal your boyfriend. Trousers that mumble in mechanic. A t-shirt nodding politely to the world’s first automobile. Bags that look like they carry tools or secrets. Thirteen pieces, soft power, stitched from canvas, jersey, cotton, poplin, wool, vegan leather. The logo is vintage, but the feeling is future. Everything smells faintly of burnout and joy.
And the car? Still there, still grinning, still dressed like the first day of school when you try too hard but somehow pull it off.
