We Wish A$AP Rocky's ERL Shirt Was a Collab
When the Fashion Killa finds a designer he gels with, he keeps coming back for more. A$AP Rocky's latest ERL team-up is natural second round after the duo's Met Gela magic but, again, it's a one off.
Sorry fans, but no Rocky x ERL collab (yet). The outfit that Rocky wore during his 2022 Lollapalooza set in Brazil was put together by designer Eli Russell Linnetz exclusive for the rapper, featuring very ERL-style layering (skirt over jeans, natch) and a bespoke shirt co-branded with each artist's name.
Highsnobiety confirmed through a representative for ERL that the shirt is a one-off custom made for Rocky's Lollapalooza set and isn't teasing a forthcoming collaborative collection (though we can dream).
The shirt's all-over pattern is a riff on a signature ERL design, often used for the Californian creative's tight T-shirts or sweaters.
Meanwhile, the tartan skirt, ripped jeans, and shin-high UGG boots are classic proto-grunge ERL.
The chains and earrings are, of course, all Rocky.
Rocky's upcycled grandma quilt broke the internet when he wore it next to Rihanna at the 2021 Met Gala, kicking off the duo's team-up in earnest.
Rocky had worn ERL of his own volition prior to that, however, like when he was spotted wearing one of the designer's signature puffy jackets.
It was all part of ERL's banger 2021, which included a custom dress for Kid Cudi, ERL's first scent, and an appearance at Highsnobiety's Not In Paris.
2022 looks to be even bigger for Linnetz, somehow, with a Guess partnership already in the works.
Presumably, we'll be seeing more one-off ERL celeb 'fits too, though one has to wonder when Linnetz is gonna launch a proper ERL collaboration with one of his famous friends.
