Eli Russell Linnetz
Eli Russell Linnetz is an American creative director, fashion designer, photographer, and artist. He is the founder of the Venice Beach–based fashion label ERL.
Linnetz was born in Los Angeles, California. He graduated from the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts with a degree in screenwriting.
At age 15, he reached out to playwright David Mamet and was invited to assist him in on his theatrical and film/TV productions.
Linnetz began his creative career as a child voice actor, most prominently providing the voice for the character "Tipo" in Disney's animated feature The Emperor's New Groove in 2000.
In 2015, Linnetz wrote, directed, and co-produced the short film Afterglow, starring Sawyer Spielberg and Mary Neely. The film was selected as a Vimeo Staff Pick and showcased at several international short film festivals.
In November 2018, Linnetz launched ERL under the support of Comme des Garçons. The brand is based in his Venice Beach studio and draws from West Coast skate and surf culture, filtered through high-concept visual storytelling.
In 2021, rapper A$AP Rocky wore a custom ERL quilted look to the Met Gala.
In May 2022, Linnetz became the first American invited by Kim Jones to co-design a Dior Men's collection. The Dior x ERL capsule debuted with a runway presentation in Venice Beach, California.
