Samsung and Maison Margiela, have recently revealed their latest collaboration — a special edition of the Galaxy Z Flip5, marking a blend of Samsung’s technological prowess and Maison Margiela’s iconic design approach.
Stephanie Choi, the EVP at Samsung Electronics shared “This second collaboration between the two brands brings together fashion and technology by approaching a high-tech device in a way similar to the construction of a haute couture garment. Through this collaboration, we want consumers to discover their own identity and express it without limitation.”
Unique to this special edition is the rear glass design, showcasing the inner structure of a Maison Margiela jacket. This design, exclusive to the Galaxy Z Flip5 Maison Margiela Edition, uses a semi-transparent effect that reveals the device’s intricate details, marrying technology with fashion.
Accompanying the device are two distinctive cases, the Flap Leather Case, featuring natural black leather and genuine fabric logo labels, representing Maison Margiela’s “Work-in-Progress” design identity. The Flipsuit Case, on the other hand, includes two Flipsuit Cards with a unique paint splatter design, a nod to the brand’s pursuit of creativity.
To round it all off, the packaging also reflects a special edition Maison Margiela design, with a distinct stitching pattern and a paper-based woven book cloth fabric, resembling the archival sample storage used in ateliers.
While price and availability have yet to be announced at the time of writing, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 Maison Margiela Edition will be available for purchase starting November 30, in select markets, including China, Hong Kong and Korea.
