Juun.J incorporates Samsung’s latest technology into their creative process and runway show at Paris Men’s Fashion Week
Paris, France - January 17, 2014 - Samsung Mobile and renowned menswear designer Juun.J, announced today their collaboration to integrate innovative technology and high fashion at Paris Men’s Fashion Week. Inspired by the reinterpretation of traditional ideas and the resulting conception of innovative, street culture, Juun.J has created prestige slink leather covers for Samsung’s Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition. The two custom book cover designs as well as Samsung’s newly announced tablet, the Galaxy NotePRO (12.2), were showcased by the models on the Juun.J runway as complementary accessories to the collection, marking Samsung Mobile’s first step into the men’s fashion world.
“Mobile technology has become an integral element of personal style and is now influencing fashion more than ever before,” said Juun.J, creative director. “This collaboration offers me the chance to demonstrate the inspiration behind my designs seen on the runway, while showcasing how technology and innovation are central to my daily business and the creative process behind my collections.”
The Galaxy NotePRO (12.2) and Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition represent Samsung’s premium tablet offerings. Both devices provide an outstanding viewing experience on a large screen with a crisp, clear display, a sleek design with creative S Pen capabilities and various productive multi-tasking tools. The Galaxy NotePRO (12.2) made its first fashion week appearance on the Juun.J runway, following Samsung Mobile’s recent announcement of its PRO tablet line at CES last week.
A short collaborative film will be released through Samsung Mobile’s YouTube channel documenting Juun.J’s journey from his creative process and fashion week preparation to the presentation of his collection on the Paris runway, integrating Samsung technology and devices along the way.
