It was in 2020 when leading technology company Samsung first collaborated with iconic New York Fashion brand Thom Browne. The partnership was born out of a strong belief that it is possible to draw upon the similarities between the worlds of fashion and technology to create a smartphone that introduced an entirely new design identity. The result was a sophisticated limited-edition collection where luxury meets innovation, emboldening individuals to stand out from the crowd with their unique devices.
And it seems that technology will once again meet high fashion as both brands continue to drop hints that a new collaboration is coming soon, with a special reveal slated for 07 September 2023.
When this partnership started, there was an awareness that the worlds of tech and fashion can vary widely in terms of design approaches, materials and manufacturing processes. With Samsung and Thom Browne respecting and learning more about their unique design philosophies and identities, the two brands were able to successfully develop all-new innovations together that are premium in every way.
The first collaboration between Samsung and Thom Browne, released in 2020
This collaboration took off with the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold2 Thom Browne Edition, which embodied the fashion house’s classic ideas with conceptual interpretations. The phone featured distinctive Thom Browne signature brand colors on a pebble gray exterior and the limited edition smartphone was the first-of-its-kind to be encased in glass. The classic longwing brogues took a modern form with a gray pebble leather phone case, featuring the distinctive Thom Browne signature brand colors down the center. Meanwhile, The Galaxy Z Flip Thom Browne Edition took reference from the mid-century office aesthetic as blinds appear on screen every time the phone is turned on and off.
