The son of actress Laura Dern and musician Ben Harper, Ellery has been exploring his different aesthetic tastes across multiple creative fields, building strong relationships with a number of different fashion designers and discovering what truly matters to him as an artist. Ellery’s new EP is a clear melodic reflection of an artist who is deep in the throes of self discovery, each song a signpost along his voyage of maturity. An ongoing process where the worlds of music and fashion mix to create his unique origins story.” The caption goes on to highlight that this is his first ever cover story and that Ellery was interviewed by ODDA’s founder David Martin about his “creative process as a musician, model and artistic being who is enjoying the process of self discovery.” For more celebrity news sent right to your inbox, sign up for our daily newsletter.

WhoWhatWear reports that Calvin Klein designer Raf Simons had actually wanted him to walk the previous year. “[Ben] wanted him to wait a little bit more,” Dern told the publication at the 2017 show, explaining that Ellery’s dad thought he was still a little too young to be strutting down the runway. When he finally did make his runway debut, Dern was cheering him on from the front row. For another proud celeb mom, check out Jennifer Lopez Posts Heartfelt Message for Her Twins’ 13th Birthday. You don’t have to be a wealthy Monterey mom to appreciate Dern’s HBO series Big Little Lies, as Ellery learned when he was still in high school. The actor told Town & Country in 2019 that her son ended up in an awkward conversation during lunch at a summer program he was attending, when some of his peers were discussing the popular mystery drama. He stayed quiet as they talked, prompting someone to ask him if he even liked the show. “It’s not that,” he said, per Dern. “It’s just…my mom is Renata Klein.” “I love that he didn’t say Laura Dern. He said his mom was Renata!” the star continued, laughing about her angry and entitled character. “I was like, ‘That this happened to you around that character, of all characters.’ Poor thing.” For more HBO recommendations, here are 14 TV Shows You Can Watch on HBO Max From Start to Finish This Weekend. \
