Samsung and Maison Margiela, have recently revealed their latest collaboration\u00a0 — a special edition of the Galaxy Z Flip5, marking a blend of Samsung’s technological prowess and Maison Margiela’s iconic design approach.<\/p>\n
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.”<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
