Samuel Ross has become one of the most important design voices of our generation. His origin story is almost legend now, but who is the man behind the A-COLD-WALL* Empire & SR_A private Maison? Following the recent news of the selling of his founding brand, the design maverick covers our Spring 24 issue, inviting our Editor-in-Chief, Toni-Blaze Ibekwe, into his multifaceted world to unravel his design journey from assisting Virgil Abloh at the peak of his career, to creating A-COLD-WALL* as a beacon of non-conformity.
