This week, we’re revisiting the Samuel Ross period at A-COLD-WALL* once more, delving into both the Spring/Summer 2021 and Fall/Winter 2021 collections.

As a gamer, I’ve been keeping an eye on Ross’s latest drops, and they’re really pushing the boundaries of what we usually see in outerwear. Instead of sticking to traditional coats, he’s merging them with more functional, utilitarian styles. Whether it’s a parka or a jean jacket, windbreaker, or something else, Ross is consistently shaping his unique vision. This vision is a mix of social commentary, industrial vibes, and innovative design concepts that are constantly evolving.

What sets these pieces apart is their emphasis on more defined and architectural shapes. They play around with volume and structure in ways that surprise you, moving beyond the typical streetwear silhouettes and venturing into a more conceptual space. It’s an exciting time to be a fan of tech wear, as these designs are really pushing the envelope!

Among the tees available in this collection, Ross’s design philosophy was evident, focusing on garments that were versatile and inclusive. This resulted in more practical pieces prioritizing comfort and usability. The color scheme introduced warmer hues and subtle variations, mirroring a feeling of optimism and rebirth. Throughout the two seasons of 2021, Ross’s A-COLD-WALL* brand developed beyond its original streetwear orientation, growing into one with a robust conceptual foundation. It delved into social issues through a sophisticated design language that was often technically advanced. The emphasis during this time was on material innovation, sculptural shapes, and the evolution of color palettes.
