About
Patrik Ervell is a designer brand was founded in New York, 2005.
The Swedish-born Ervell got a political science degree from UC Berkeley and fell into design after working as an editor at V magazine. His aesthetic is minimal, and involves creative use of utilitarian materials—think parachute fabric and solar-blanket fibers. In 2007, the year of his first runway show, Ervell won a $25,000 Ecco Domani Fashion Foundation Award.
Design
Ervell's designs focus on minimal, carefully tailored American sportswear, with luxurious touches.
Futurism and technology is a prevailing theme; the label is known for its use of technical fabrics and utilitarian materials like gold emergency blankets or silicon-coated parachute fabric.It is also well-known for its three dimensional structural cutting, which create a long and slim visual on human figure.
Spring 2009 saw Ervell's designs go in a less restricted direction, with more playful silhouettes and prints and less pragmatic adornments.
