Get ready for a game-changer in the world of performance fashion! WHOOP and Samuel Ross MBE are joining forces to revolutionize the way we think about wearable technology and its intersection with style.
This groundbreaking collaboration, titled PROJECT TERRAIN, marks a new era for WHOOP, pushing the boundaries of what performance accessories and apparel can be. With Samuel Ross at the helm as Global Creative Director, WHOOP x SR_A aims to create a unique fusion of cutting-edge technology and design-driven innovation.
But here's where it gets exciting: PROJECT TERRAIN will bring a bespoke capsule collection to life, featuring limited-edition WHOOP bands and new apparel pieces within the WHOOP Body collection. These technical garments will allow wearers to experience WHOOP beyond just their wrists, offering a fresh take on performance fashion.
Samuel Ross, an acclaimed industrial designer with a passion for precision and human movement, has been a WHOOP wearer for five years. His transition into the world of performance innovation with WHOOP feels like a natural progression, bringing his expertise in material science and form to the forefront.
Will Ahmed, Founder and CEO of WHOOP, shares his enthusiasm: "We believe wearable technology should either be invisible or incredibly cool. Working with Samuel Ross has been an absolute pleasure. Our members are in for a unique experience with this limited collection."
Johan Liden, Chief Creative Officer of WHOOP, adds: "Design is at the heart of WHOOP's impact, and Samuel brings a level of craftsmanship and provocation that takes our mission even further. His approach to materials, form, and function perfectly aligns with our vision to create products that are both technically advanced and emotionally engaging."
The creative vision behind PROJECT TERRAIN draws inspiration from SRA's industrial and architectural ethos. The upcoming WHOOP x SRA capsule will showcase a new design vocabulary, emphasizing utility, intentionality, and a structural approach driven by innovative materials.
Samuel Ross, Global Creative Director of WHOOP x SR_A, shares his vision: "WHOOP is shaping the future of health and technology for our generation. I'm excited to collaborate with Will and the WHOOP design teams to push global design expectations forward."
Yi Ng, Co-founder and CEO of SR_A, echoes this sentiment: "This landmark joint venture reflects our shared vision for the future of wearable technology. Partnering with WHOOP allows us to elevate our mission while creating products that resonate with a global audience."
As part of this collaboration, SRA will join as an investor, alongside notable investor-partners like Niall Horan and Cristiano Ronaldo. Additionally, WHOOP will contribute to the SRA Black British Artist Grant, offering an in-house design residency to the selected recipient, fostering collaboration and supporting emerging talent.
