A-Cold-Wall Names Joshua Bullen as First Designer in Residence
Owner Four Marketing is transitioning the label from founder-led brand to a studio-driven platform, with Bullen’s debut collection scheduled for Autumn/Winter 2027 in Paris
Luxury British streetwear brand A-Cold-Wall has appointed Joshua Bullen as its first designer in residence, according to a statement on Wednesday. This marks the beginning of a "long-term platform" where the brand will regularly feature guest designers alongside its core team. Bullen, who most recently served as design director at Kenzo, has also held senior menswear design positions at Givenchy and Stone Island, the latter being his work location for more than a decade.
Bullen's appointment is the first time A-Cold-Wall has selected a new creative leader since its founder, Samuel Ross, sold the brand in February 2024 to Tomorrow Ltd., which then sold it to UK distributor Four Marketing in November of the same year. Since then, A-Cold-Wall has continued under its current ownership, backed by Frasers Group and responsible for expanding the retail and wholesale presence of brands such as Stone Island and C.P.
Company. The brand has maintained seasonal collections after Ross' departure and recently partnered with sportswear brand Salomon in June.
