CAMARADERIE 1. The spirit of friendly familiarity and goodwill that exists between comrades:
Eli Russell Linnetz founded ERL as a deeply personal take on American sportswear, filtered through his carefree, easygoing Venice Beach lifestyle. Entitled "The Final Frontier," his autumn/winter 2021–22 collection examined the relationship between self-discovery and collective advancement through the lens of collegiate Americana. Here, a baseball-inspired uniform conjures idyllic memories of boyhood friendship. While its sweat-stained aesthetic alludes to the vitality of the ballpark, its state of undress is suggestive of the locker room.
