A-Cold-Wall paid homage to modern masculinity in a spectacular runway debut at Milan Fashion Week. Designer Samuel Ross, previously shortlisted for the prestigious LVMH Prize, showcased his innovative streetwear designs that push the boundaries of technical precision and sartorial elegance.
For the Fall/Winter 2020 collection, Ross took his aesthetic to new heights with sophisticated fabric selections and impeccable finishing. The collection featured versatile pieces that seamlessly transitioned from urban street style to formal wear, such as double-breasted crepe suits and faded patent leather ensembles. This refined approach spoke to a modern man who values both style and functionality in his wardrobe.
The runway show itself was a work of art, with models confidently strutting down the former ice skating rink in a mesmerizing display of Ross’s attention to detail. From survivalist camouflage parkas to wire-frame hooded military gilets, each garment showcased Ross’s unique design perspective and commitment to pushing menswear boundaries.
In a post-show interview, Ross expressed his desire to modernize traditional menswear, drawing inspiration from a variety of creative fields including illustration, literature, and architecture. The collection was a celebration of contemporary masculinity and the evolution of men’s fashion, appealing to a diverse audience regardless of age or background.
As part of London’s presence at Milan Fashion Week, A-Cold-Wall’s runway debut symbolized the power of fashion to unite creatives across borders and transcend political uncertainty. Ross’s Fall/Winter 2020 collection not only left a lasting impression on the audience but also solidified his reputation as a designer who seamlessly merges technical expertise with a deep respect for the art of menswear.
