ERL Introduces its New Poison Ivy Collection for SS26
Eli Russell Linnetz introduces the new Poison Ivy collection under the ERL brand, designed for the Spring/Summer 2026 season. The team explores American menswear notions through the idea of tailored silhouettes with a relaxed shape. Overall, it features a preppy inspiration, reflecting concepts of a boarding school where it follows the character of Ivy, fixated on an exclusive hierarchy of friend Christian.
The collection plays with the idea of contrasting themes of tailored silhouettes with pieces including the linen suits, V-neck knitted sweaters, and pleated shorts. There is a strong, gritty undertone of the seasonal range. Fabrics are broken in and translated through its faded finishes, distressed accents, and brushed fibres. Other pieces include really short swim trunks and surf nylon tailoring.
