<div><br/></div><p>The <strong>Dior Men’s Spring 2023</strong> capsule collection isn’t necessarily a collaboration. It’s a lot more astounding than that. For this season, Dior Men’s Artistic Director <strong>Kim Jones </strong>gave the keys of the Dior archives to a young American designer, <strong>Eli Russell Linetz</strong> from Venice Beach, and told he can guest design the collection. This is a first for for Dior and and to be given this chance to a 31 year old made a lot of buzz.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/6762df75-8814-4442-9e2f-1a0ea2b7f3fa_dior men spring 2023 finale © eric staudenmaier .jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p>This collection did its own magic. <strong>ERL</strong>, an eponymous Californian fashion brand put up by Eli, has its own cult following with his sexy, edgy, rugged take on slouchy cool menswear. It was so natural that he gravitated towards Dior’s slouchy tees and basketball shorts with John Galliano’s famous Dior newsprint from his time. He took this further by making luxury versions of what people in Venice Beach are already wearing. These are the skaters, the surfers, and the hippies.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/efb2fa7a-b400-4c27-91af-6a0a0000d18b_dior men spring 2023 look 36.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p>With the Dior spin, everything was upgraded. The shoes, which will have a ‘90s skate silhouette, is rumored to cost more than the Air Dior pair. </p><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div class="youtube-iframe"><iframe width="400" height="345" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-uqsrWCd8oM" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><br/><div><br/></div><p>You can see the intersection of pop culture and savoir-faire in the collection. Crystal-encrusted trousers, saddle bags with chunky gold chains, the carnage quilted into puffer jackets and leather—these are a mishmash of what’s cool and what’s sophisticated all stamped with Californian ease. California Couture one sweater in the collection even put it. </p><div><br/></div><p>It was a bold move from Dior this season. But with the pastel-dipped ERL collection for Dior, it will in fact be a bright one.</p><div><br/></div><p>See the looks in the gallery below!</p><div><br/></div><div class="article-content" itemProp="articleBody"><div class="media-content"><div class="slider-for"><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/ae65d6cd-55a9-448a-aaf9-95a4d439a0a9_3-article-banner copy.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div></div><div class="media-content slider-desc"><div class="item-desc"><div></div></div></div></div></div><div><br/></div><div><em><strong>Dior</strong> in the Philippines is available at Greenbelt 3 and Solaire Resort &amp; Casino</em></div><div><em>Art by <strong>Raff Colmenar</strong></em></div><div><em><strong><br/></strong></em></div><div><strong>Related Story: </strong><a href="/fashion/runway/dior-fall-2022-show-seoul/32923" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Dior Held Its First-Ever Runway Show In Seoul And It Was Beautiful!</a></div><div><strong>Related Story: </strong><a href="/fashion/get-the-look/dior-vibe-2022/32192" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Meet The Dior Vibe Bags And Why Global Stars Are Wearing Them</a></div>
