In conversation with Entire Studios' Dylan Richards-Diaz

When New Zealand-born, Los Angeles-based creative Dylan Richards-Diaz approached longtime friend Sebastian Hunt in 2020 about founding fashion label Entire Studios, the intent was to find a coalescence between luxury streetwear sensibilities and thoughtful, accessible design. Sculptural volume, monochromatic palettes and utilitarian silhouettes define the label built on contrast – structure against softness, precision against distortion.

Operating from Los Angeles, the brand draws from contemporary street culture, technical performance wear and minimalist tailoring, while maintaining a deliberately anonymous visual identity free from overt logos or embellishment. This restrained approach has helped Entire Studios cultivate a global cult following, worn by artists, creatives and tastemakers drawn to its future-facing aesthetic.

What’s the first rule you remember breaking?

According to my Dad, it was going swimming fully dressed when I was meant to be just dipping my feet in. I’ve always been all-or-nothing – once I commit, I’m in completely.

Where do you go when the world feels too loud?

Home. I work hard to protect my peace, so home has become my sanctuary. If I can go further, it’s New Zealand or the islands – places that remind me what silence feels like.

 

⁠If your design process had a soundtrack, what’s track one?

The playlist in our studio is always house music. I love the repetition, rhythm, tension, and release. Design is similar in the way you tend to return to the same idea until it suddenly moves differently and works.

What does independence taste like to you?

Clean, simple, earned. Like something made for yourself after a long day. Independence tastes like self-respect.

Which fashion rule deserves to be buried for good?

The calendar. Creativity shouldn’t live as a hamster wheel of deadlines. Great work needs pressure, but it also needs space to breathe.

 

What secret do your clothes tell the wearer?

Trust yourself. Walk in your own rhythm. Confidence is quieter than people think.

 

⁠Beyond labels and buzzwords – what’s your true manifesto?

Believe in your own point of view. Stay disciplined. Stay kind. Move with integrity and let consistency speak louder than noise.

 

What’s the most surreal moment your designs have lived?

Seeing people like Michelle Obama, Bad Bunny, and Doja Cat in our pieces has been surreal. The real feeling is gratitude that something imagined privately can live publicly at that scale.

 

If your brand was a film — who’s the antihero leading the story?

Angelina Jolie — both early in her career as this young, self-possessed and uncompromising woman, and today, as a refined, powerful force.
