For Season 2 of SR_A, designer Samuel Ross pivots away from strict codes of formalwear, bringing a sense of quiet force to contemporary menswear. Shown at his private estate in the UK, the collection reflects a shift in posture, toward comfort, toward intention, and toward an expanded vision of what men’s clothing can do.
Ross blurs the usual lines between suiting, leisurewear, and technical garments. Relaxed tailoring in silk and linen gives jackets and trousers a fluid motion, while compact wool and velvet outerwear introduce volume without rigidity. Each silhouette feels precise without being restrictive. The garments aren’t designed for performance or status, they’re meant to carry the wearer, not contain him.
Materials take on new weight in this context. Wools are soft, velvets luxurious, and linens crisp enough to hold shape without tension. Accessories follow the same sculptural logic, vegetable-tanned leather utility bags, waxed cotton coats, and shoes in calf suede and vegan crocodile serve as grounding points for the collection’s movement. These are not embellishments, but anchors.
The original soundtrack, composed by Ross himself, reinforces the introspective tone. Statements like “We must paint how the future will look, and function” echo between looks, reminding the audience that this is more than styling, it’s structure, memory, and messaging embedded in form. Ross frames fashion as a tool for reshaping how men relate to themselves and the world around them.
What makes Season 2 feel urgent is how naturally it resists categorization. This isn’t just minimalism. It’s about stripping away what no longer fits and building something else from what remains. The tailoring is present, but so is a sense of ease. The styling is composed, but never stiff. Ross pushes menswear toward a space that allows softness to stand on its own terms.
SR_A Season 2 isn’t about statement dressing. It’s about clarity, of purpose, of design, of identity. Ross presents a future that doesn’t shout, but resonates. One where men can wear ease and precision simultaneously, and where style becomes a language for movement, presence, and control.
