The British fashion label A-COLD-WALL* draws from the country's pioneering radio culture for its Spring/Summer 2025 collection titled "Pink Noise". This release marks a continuing evolution for the brand following founder Samuel Ross's exit and its acquisition by Four Marketing, a distribution group backed by Frasers.
The collection examines the influence of Britain's pirate radio landscape through what the brand describes as an exploration of "ephemerality and functionality, anonymity and audacity". These elements manifest in practical silhouettes that maintain the label's recognizable functional design approach.
Technical outerwear features prominently, with utility jackets equipped with multiple toggles and drawstrings that allow wearers to adjust their fit. Ice blue collared jackets are styled with loose-fitting shirts underneath, creating layered ensembles characteristic of the brand's aesthetic.
Knitwear pieces display color-blocked panels in black, brown, and cream, while the collection also includes graphic t-shirts with cutout details, ribbed vests, and practical sling bags designed for everyday use.
The "Pink Noise" collection reflects A-COLD-WALL*'s ongoing commitment to technical design within the gorpcore movement despite recent organizational changes. The full collection is currently available through the brand's official website.
