LEAF, 13, GETS A COMPLEXCON BOOTH AND A KIDSUPER COLLAB

Designs By Leaf, the doodle, street and pop art label run by a 13 year old who goes by Leaf, has its own booth at ComplexCon 2026 and an official collaboration with KidSuper and Slawn that will be available only at the show. ComplexCon runs Saturday, October 3, and Sunday, October 4, at the Los Angeles Convention Center, and Leaf is at Booth B3 in the South Hall.

Convention floors are built around headliners. This one also has a spot for a kid who asked for it in a letter, and that is the detail worth holding onto before the lines form.

A Handwritten Letter Became Booth B3

The short version for anyone planning a route: Booth B3, South Hall, Los Angeles Convention Center, both days of ComplexCon.

Leaf earned the booth by writing to Complex. He sent a handwritten letter about his love of fashion and art, and Complex's Izzy Izzo followed up with a call to tell him the answer was yes. He would get his own booth at ComplexCon.

The letter opened the door, but the work is what kept it open. His Instagram account had already shown a clear style built from doodles, street references and pop art, and that is the look Complex is now putting on the floor. He has a numbered booth in the South Hall, B3, the way any other exhibitor does, with the doodle, street and pop art work he built on his own account.

KidSuper and Slawn Close the Loop

Leaf has named KidSuper among the brands that shaped him and Takashi Murakami among the artists. The collaboration turns that list of influences into a product. Leaf, KidSuper and Slawn have made an official collaboration together, and it will be sold only at ComplexCon, so Booth B3 is the only place to get it.

KidSuper is the label of Colm Dillane, and Slawn is the name of designer Olaolu Slawn. Putting a teenager's drawings next to two established designers is an unusual pairing on paper. It fits how KidSuper has worked all year. Before this one, the brand had put out four collaborations since June, from BEIS luggage to a McDonald's leather jacket, and KidSuper's Outside the Box collection arrived in two parts this month. Days ago the Fugees collaboration came with a Brooklyn event on September 27. Dillane's label treats collaboration as its main output, and a booth collab for a 13 year old is the same habit pointed at a newcomer.

Carti Jerseys and Fragment Disney Share the Weekend

ComplexCon LA on October 3 and 4 already carries other exclusives, and Leaf's collaboration joins them. Playboi Carti's Mitchell & Ness jerseys are sold exclusively at the show, in a run of twelve NBA franchises plus an NBA All Star '96 design. Fragment's Disney capsule previews clothing with Mickey Mouse playing a guitar and wearing a suit.

Those two are music and sport and film dressed as clothing, sold through names that already fill timelines. Leaf's collaboration sits in a different column. It comes from a booth rather than a brand, and it comes from a designer whose route to the floor started with a handwritten letter. A buyer who plans a route through the Convention Center for the jerseys and the Disney pieces now has a reason to walk the South Hall as well.

Saturday Morning at B3

The collaboration is tied to the show itself, and the dates are short: two days, October 3 and 4, in Los Angeles. There is no online drop attached to it and no later restock mentioned, and exclusives tied to a convention tend to be remembered by the people who were there. That is the quiet strength of the whole arrangement: Leaf gets to be part of a moment at ComplexCon and not a post about one.

The prediction is simple. Expect Booth B3 to draw a steady line on Saturday, October 3, because the KidSuper and Slawn collaboration exists nowhere else, and expect Leaf's style to read differently once it sits next to two established names. The temperature here is early. A 13 year old with a handwritten letter, a call from Izzo and a collaboration with KidSuper and Slawn is at the start of something, and ComplexCon is where it gets shown first to a crowd.
