ERL is leaning into classic Hollywood to deliver a Pre-Spring 2025 collection that explores the darker side of the industry. Taking place in Los Angeles, ERL envisions Hollywood in 1983, where “The Vamps” — a young rock band of vampires roam the earth for eternity. In true Hollywood fashion, the collection is dramatic and follows the tragedy of these characters as they spend hours in the night haunting the streets as the nocturnal rebels that represent the city’s youth, freedom, rebellion and destruction.
Titled “Hollywood Forever,” ERL takes inspiration from the industry’s most famous actors and their characters, namely James Dean, Mariyln Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor. He pays homage to these artists by featuring their black and white portraits on artisanal suiting pieces. Evoking decades of raunchy Hollywood parties, ERL brings the dark fantasies of Hollywood to the pre-spring season.
Many of the pieces are constructed out of thrift store finds, including vintage dad stock fabrics. ERL’s signature styling codes are given a darker twist, including hand-aged Hollywod graphic tees, as well as hand-dyed heavyweight patchwork up-cycled hoodies, jerseys and more. ERL’s relaxed Calfornian silhouette continues to be a common theme.
Amongst the pieces are a a silk suit featuring ERL’s signature “Hollywood Forever” graphic printed as well as punk fine jewelry inspired by the Venice Beach aesthetic. From upcycled flannel shirts top patch-work grungy glamours chi.
