Achievement

A-COLD-WALL’s Samuel Ross once again showcased his collaborations with the likes of Oakley and Nike. However, the latter received special praise with its Vomero Zoom +5 offering in three polarizing hand-dyed colorways. The brand also had a standout showing at Men’s London Fashion Week with his FW19 collection “BIRTH.ORGAN.SYNTH.” During the presentation were glimpses of A-COLD-WALL’s expansive collaboration with Diesel’s Renzo Rosso, which saw an installation at New York Fashion Week and also a pop-up release this year. Ross also won the BFC/GQ Menswear Fund award, where he received £150,000 GBP (approx. $190,000 USD) and 12 months of mentoring from BFC/GQ.
