A-COLD-WALL*, launched by Dr. Samuel Ross in 2015, merges streetwear with high fashion through a focus on material innovation and social commentary. This brand, deeply rooted in British working-class culture and urban design, challenges traditional fashion narratives with its unique blend of aesthetics and social purpose. Ross’s designs reflect on social inequalities and the collective experience, pushing the boundaries of art and fashion to foster a dialogue on civic engagement and societal roles.
