Samuel Ross' A-COLD-WALL*’ is preparing for Spring/Summer 2019 with its latest 'Human. Form. Structure' collection. The label showcased its new seasonal items at a runway show in East London -- guests were greeted with a unique set of items comprised of safety goggles, earplugs and a ventilation mask in a vacuum-sealed pack. This represents the label propelling itself towards a higher level of production. The Human. Form. Structure collection represents all three concepts in several ways throughout the London show.
Before any clothing was showcased, the opening look was a group of hooded silhouettes that were played up and moved together as one. This visual made appearances throughout the show, disappearing and re-appearing. Models were also encased within unique shapes that correlated to the brand's aesthetics.
