Trending Street Fashion Brands 2020 - A-Cold-Wall
A-Cold-Wall
A-Cold-Wall is a luxury streetwear label founded by Samuel Ross, another Kanye West, Virgil Abloh alum. Brixton born, but raised in Northampton. Ross' clothes have a classic intellectual pared down feel. Vogue describes his collections as "rooted in the style tribes of the British working classes". For a streetwear designer there is a mature outlook running through his designs.
Ross has an ongoing collaboration with Nike and Oakley, and his A-Cold-Wall shows at London Fashion Week Mens are now one of the main draws. He aims to continue to base his streetwear collections on a more classic aesthetic rather than the common streetwear focus on youth culture trends. It makes sense, Ross and his fellow streetwear revolutionaries, Kanye West, Virgil Abloh etc are all growing up and this is filtering out in their design approaches and products.
I enjoyed seeing a streetwear label that has a more refined approach to its designs, a more structured intellectual look. His selective use of colour, choosing only a few must have shades, shows a label that understands providing customers with less but more. The high-tech finishes and the continued focus on improving each collection including moving this collection to Milan makes this a streetwear label to continue to follow.
