Samuel Ross collaborates with LVMH’s Acqua di Parma for Colonia fragrance

The Founder and Designer of A-Cold-Wall*, Samuel Ross, has teamed up with heritage fragrance house Acqua di Parma to create a series of bottles for its Colonia fragrance.

The British designer, who was once protégé to the late Virgil Abloh, made a name for himself after founding his streetwear label A-Cold-Wall* in 2015. He is now teaming up with LVMH for a second time, expected to be released in February 2023.

The first collaboration saw Ross design a limited edition orange iteration of Hublot’s Big Bang Tourbillon, which sold out in less than 24 hours.

Following the previous collaboration's success, Ross was invited to work on the 1916-founded brand’s most sought-after fragrance, Colonia. The announcement has been perfectly timed with Miami’s Art Basel, where Ross will sit on a panel alongside artist Daniel Arsham and Miami Design District creator Craig Robins.

During the Miami-based event, Ross and Acqua di Parma will be distributing a limited-run micro-zine that tells the story of the collaboration. The extended 160-page version will be released publicly when the collaboration goes live in February.
