What to know about Patrik Ervell
Odd materials on plain shapes
Silhouettes stayed minimal and utilitarian while fabrics did the talking: gold foil, vintage parachute nylon, iron- and copper-oxidized dyes, horsehair, rubber and splash-dyed silk.
The label closed in 2018
Ervell showed his last collection for Spring/Summer 2018 and moved to Vince as men's design director, so anything you find now is archive or resale.
Outerwear carried the collections
Jackets and sport outerwear were the anchor, cut alongside spare tailoring — a New York minimalist-prep register with techwear fabric leanings.

Brand facts
Patrik Ervell was a New York menswear label from the American designer of the same name, a Berkeley political science graduate who showed at Opening Ceremony in the mid-2000s and won the Ecco Domani menswear award in 2007. Collections paired minimal, utilitarian tailoring and sport outerwear with unusual materials: gold foil, vintage parachute nylon, iron- and copper-oxidized dyes, horsehair, rubber raincoats and splash-dyed silk, plus a running fabric collaboration with Maharam. The label stopped after its Spring/Summer 2018 show, when Ervell became men's design director at Vince.
