ERL Fall/Winter 2026 -2027 / FW26 at Paris Men’s Fashion Week, Eli Russell Linnetz Presents “THE VOID” In Paris For ERL Season 13

Eli Russell Linnetz is proud to present “The void” ERL’s first presentation in Paris for season 13 on january 23, 2026. Designed by Eli Russell Linnetz In Venice Beach, California, ERL is proud to present its thirteenth collection, ”the void”. Entering “the void”, we find ourselves at a boarding school. The mountain retreat. The gilded cage. Deep in the swiss alps, behind stone walls and wrought iron gates, the children of oligarchs and dictators play at tradition. Here, in these elite sanctuaries, power wears tweed and speaks in whispers. Bloodlines wear blazers and ties that bind fortunes. In these circles, identity is currency, anonymity is armor, and everything is redacted.

The characters quite literally wear each other’s clothing as their power dynamics shift. Menswear becomes womenswear, and vice versa, shared as they all climb the social ladder together. Vengeance wears many uniforms. Once a victim, our heroine now moves through their world. No longer tormented, she has infiltrated their domain and become the architect of their unraveling. The sons and daughters of the ruling class stare cooly and confidently, unaware that their borrowed privilege has become their greatest weakness.

ERL’s “The void” explores the contradictions of elite dressing— where rigid structure meets laissez-faire rebellion, where prep school tradition collides with coastal irreverence. ERL FW26 / Fall/Winter 2026 -2027 collection captures the boyish charm of boarding school attire while interrogating the systems that luxury clothing so often represents. Custom dense tweeds echo the rich softness of 1980s sport coats, that defining era of excess when power dressing became identity. Textured wool blazers and overcoats in gray, waffle plaid blazers in red and purple, and wool tweed suiting form the foundation of this contradictory wardrobe. Nylon linen blazers blur the line between formal and athletic, while classic oxford shirts in white cotton and striped poplin shirts in red and white provide the crisp backdrop of privilege. Tuxedo shirts appear in unexpected red alongside traditional white, plaid longsleeve shirts in black cotton, and washed shirts in purple and beige lyocell viscose. Nylon infiltrates formal suiting with reversible trenches in red and black, reversible field jackets in white and black, and red field jackets that recall surf culture more than swiss formality.

A redacted dress stands as the collection’s most pointed statement. A graphic black bar interrupts the silhouette— mimicking tools of obstruction and transforming censorship into visibility. Polizia coats in black lamb leather feature alongside denim jackets in black and blue, evoking uniforms of authority, while biker leather jackets, biker denim jackets, and leather varsity jackets in red cow leather channel outlaw defiance. Skunk fur coats and reversible fur jackets capture the ultimate irony of luxury—beautiful to behold, yet noxiously impossible to forget.

ERL once again recontextualizes evening wear with playful subversion: flight suits in black cotton in place of tuxedos, lined quarterback jackets are in black and red nylon alongside varsity jackets in purple and black wool with leather sleeves. Velvet pants in black, gold, and silver. Track shorts in black, purple, red, and yellow nylon paired with ripstop cargo pants and short shorts. Knitwear becomes the language of this world. Argyle sweaters in purple and gray-purple. Cable knit vests in red. Slit neck sweaters in black and white. Crest sweaters, jacquard patterns, and knit hoodies in beige. V-neck sweaters in beige and red. Cardigans with e patches, script details, and cropped silhouettes in red, purple, and beige.

Beneath the blazers: fitted tees are sported with plane, money, and target graphics. ERL university iconography is branded on raglan sweatshirts, hoodies, and sweatpants in off-white, yellow, and black. Crest polo tees in purple and black. Striped longsleeves in purple yarn-dyed cotton. Mock neck, big crest, and small crest longsleeves in cotton-wool blend. Red hockey sweatshirts in heavy cotton. Varsity, script, colorblock, and money hoodies, alongside patchwork sweatshirts, complete the set. Trousers tell their own stories: nylon chino pants in black and purple, brick chino pants in red cotton, ripstop chino shorts in black. Waffle plaid pants and tweed pants in gray wool match their blazer counterparts. Textured wool pants and nylon linen pants in gray. Pleated jeans in black and blue denim. Straight cut jeans in gray. Flocked denim chino pants in black.

Accessories complete the wardrobe of borrowed time: pvc bags in black and white. Skunk bags in black and white fur. Fur scarves. Aviator sunglasses. Leather gloves. University beanies in black, Yellow, and off-white acrylic. Skunk fur hats and berets. Linnetz caps and crest caps in black cotton. Even the unseen: brick boxers in red cotton, washed boxers in black, purple, and beige lyocell viscose. Crest brooches and crest pins. Pleated velvet bowties in gold and silver. Velvet, devore, and viscose ties in black, purple, and beige. Brick ties in red cotton. Polka dot ties in black and white silk. Small croc belts and full croc belts in black, purple, and red. Distressed leather belts and skate belts in black cow leather. Leather and crocodile belt buckles with the erl signature logo. Continuing ERL’s collaboration with tom binns, costume jewelry elevates the chaos of couture.

ERL FW26 / Fall/Winter 2026 -2027 collection marks ERL’s continued expansion into footwear. Handcrafted leather loafers—some lined with soft skunk fur. Leather mule loafers in black, with and without fur. ERL takes the vamp silhouette to the next level in red and black crocodile leather. Skunk fur boots. Exotic materials, careless luxury—each piece a statement of power borrowed and reclaimed. The void. Where privilege meets its reckoning. Where the redacted become visible. Where revenge dresses for dinner.
