Inspired by the ease of the Californian coast and the laid-back attitude of Venice Beach, Eli Russell Linnetz created the project, ERL. Primarily known as a photographer, the multi-disciplinary creative got his start as a designer by making costumes for the opera department when at university. Influenced by Linnetz’s childhood growing up on Venice Beach, the collections radiate the nostalgia of 90s Pixar films, skaters and the Santa Monica swim team, showing vibrant colours and audacious patterns on relaxed silhouettes.
