New York Times Fashionさんのインスタグラム写真 - (New York Times FashionInstagram)「Eli Russell Linnetz, a multi-hyphenate fashion designer, has worked with Lady Gaga, Dior and Comme des Garçons. Is he the next big star in the fashion world, or is he just someone who came to fashion accidentally, whose imagination and ambition to tell stories stretches far beyond the medium of clothing? When @elirusselllinnetz, 32, first began dabbling in the fashion industry in 2018, he had already directed a video for Kanye West, produced music and worked for the playwright David Mamet. His first couple of fashion projects spiraled into a full-fledged brand, ERL, part of a family of brands supported by Comme des Garçons and its retail arm, Dover Street Market. Last year, ERL was named a winner of the prestigious Karl Lagerfeld Prize for young designers. For his next act, Linnetz will take one of fashion’s most exclusive stages as guest designer of the Pitti Uomo men’s wear fair. The title has been held by many of fashion’s greats: Jean Paul Gaultier, Vivienne Westwood and Dries Van Noten in the 1990s; Virgil Abloh, Telfar Clemens and Grace Wales Bonner in more recent years. Still, Linnetz feels torn between working on the third draft of a screenplay — an “exploration of American male friendship” about two friends starting college in the 1970s — and becoming an even bigger star in fashion. “If you do something bigger, you’re suddenly confronted with the ridiculousness of everyone’s desperate desire to go viral or have a crazy moment,” he said.
