Set in the iconic destination of Windward Avenue, a place where the words of film, art, life and fashion come together, the two designers presented a colourful offering, donned “Californian Couture”, bringing together the key codes of the House of Dior and the laidback attitude of Californian style.

Linnetz who is a favourite of US-based celebrities including A$AP Rocky became a guest designer for this capsule which subtly blends the savoir-faire of Parisian Haute Couture with Californian culture.
Relaxed tailoring, slouchy fits and laidback styles combine bright colours and oversized logos.

The House’s classics have been reinvented in new ways. The Dior Cannage is transformed into quilting in satin and leather as it appears on skate sneakers and crystal-encrusted trousers.

Varying textures are juxtaposed creating a sensory overload while colours clash in a way that makes perfect sense. Soft pastel tones reflect the Californian sunset.

Linnetz’s own brand ERL is influenced by the nineties skate scene, an element that is again reflected in the men’s capsule collection. The location for the show was in the heart of the skating community.
