Excerpt: A-COLD-WALL. FALL 2022

Probably one of the quintessential outwear and architecturally inspired designers in the fashion industry at the moment, is Samuel Ross of his own label A-Cold-Wall, which, being only five years old, has been able to deliver an array of seasonal styles distinct to Ross’s vision of the avant-garde. The young designer who was once an intern for the late Virgil Abloh of Off White fame, who passed away this year, Ross has continued to sharpen his streetwear appeal, formulating a uniqueness in representing his urbanism inspired manifesto.


There is doubt that Ross is inspired by a post industrialist world that has broken down and if you are interested in the theory of this concept, I have an article titled “The Simulacrum of Utopian Decay” that asserts the theorem that Utopia is a decayed concept more than not. And it is Ross’s deconstruction aesthetics which hold a resonance, reminding us that we live within its dystopian landscape, as an imprint of a societal obsession with prefabrication.
