A-COLD-WALL* sister label POLYTHENE OPTICS drops debut release

One of the absolute highlights of Londons fashion week was the very strong showing of Samuel Ross’s new A-COLD-WALL* SS19 collection. With his innovative designs of creative cuts and functional details is was ACW's most accomplished show to date and cemented Ross's position as one of the strongest designers of the moment. A position also shared by the LVMH board members who made Ross a semifinalist for the prestigious LVMH award for young designers this year.

The sister brand to A-COLD-WALL*, POLYTHENE OPTICS, now sees its proper debut release, and we get our first comprehensive look at the range which has been teased since the end of last year. Homing in on similar ideals and functional industrial aesthetics of its bigger brother, the POLYTHENE OPTICS range consists of long-sleeves, hoodies, T-shirts, a jumpsuit and a bag. The drop also includes a collaboration with Places+Faces, whose logo is featured on several dual-branded pieces.
