French-Algerian singer Lolo Zouai performs at KidSuper’s surreal spring 2021 show

DUBAI: For his first official fashion show on the Paris Fashion Week schedule, KidSuper designer Colm Dillane let his imagination run wild, presenting a surreal stop-motion film – entitled “Everything’s Fake Until It’s Real” – that was only made possible thanks to the digital format of this year’s event.

On July 12, the designer sent out a lineup of “models” such as Kanye West, Freddie Mercury, Travis Scott and Elon Musk in the presence of a star-studded front-row that included Queen Elizabeth II, Anna Wintour and the Obamas among others.

He achieved this by featuring decapitated Barbie dolls, with their heads replaced by 3D-printed renditions of notable figures.  Each doll wore miniature looks from the streetwear-centric label’s newest collection, which included oversized jackets and trousers embroidered with appliqué noses and mouths. 

The highly-entertaining runway show concluded with a performance from Franco-Algerian singer Lolo Zouai – well, a Barbie doll version of her – who closed out the presentation with a piano rendition of her single “Beaucoup.”

“So proud of KidSuper who finally *officially* made it to Paris Fashion Week this year haha!,” the Brooklyn-based artist captioned a clip of her performance on Instagram. 

It’s not the first time that the singer, who was born to a French mother and an Algerian father in France, was enlisted to serenade show-goers during Fashion Week. Last year, the artist performed at the Saint Laurent after party, following the brand’s spring 2020 show in Paris.

Coach taps Elyanna for Spring 2026 campaign

  • Chilean Palestinian singer also fronted firm last year
  • Star has made a donation to World Food Programme

DUBAI: Chilean Palestinian singer Elyanna is fronting yet another campaign for Coach, this time an “Express Your Many Sides” Spring 2026 initiative unfolding exclusively in the Middle East.

Across the campaign images, the focus is placed on the US fashion house’s leather bags, shown in a range of shapes and sizes.

Elyanna is pictured carrying the Tabby 26, distinguished by its structured flap silhouette and signature metal “C” hardware, presented in a warm maple tone.

Other styles include a compact shoulder bag with a curved profile and a larger, softer leather bag designed to sit under the arm. The bags appear in smooth and lightly grained leather finishes, styled in both light and darker colorways.

In the images, Elyanna’s wardrobe is kept understated to complement the accessories. She wears lightweight layers, including fitted long-sleeve tops paired with sleeveless vests and fluid trousers in neutral shades.

She also appears in a sheer, pale green dress layered over a long-sleeve base, patterned with small heart motifs.

Last year, Elyanna was the face of Coach’s Ramadan 2025 campaign. She was seen against a desert-inspired backdrop, styled in pieces that blended contemporary fashion with cultural influences.

The music sensation also carried Coach’s signature handbags, each featuring the gold chain accents.

Elyanna said in a statement: “Working with Coach again felt natural because it’s a brand I love and connect with in terms of lifestyle and expression.

“We’re aligned in our values, and it was great to be a part of it again for another year because it continues to reflect that alignment. I was also able to donate to the World Food Programme through our partnership once more, which means so much to me.”

Elyanna has been normalizing Arabic lyrics in the Western world throughout her career, taking inspiration from artists including Lana Del Ray and Beyonce, as well as Middle Eastern legend Fayrouz.

The Los Angeles-based singer’s music is a mix of Arabic and Western beats, which she attributes to her multicultural upbringing.

Her debut album “Woledto,” released in 2024, featured nine songs: “Woledto,” “Ganeni,” “Calling U,” “Al Sham,” “Mama Eh,” “Kon Nafsak,” “Lel Ya Lel,” “Yabn El Eh” and “Sad in Pali.”
