September 8, 2020 by Editorial Team

Paired with Galaxy Buds Live and Galaxy Watch3, Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 Thom Browne Edition is not just a premium device — it’s a new world within reach.

Samsung and high-end American fashion designer Thom Browne continue their collaboration to deliver the new Galaxy Z Fold2 Thom Browne Edition. Following the success of the Galaxy Z Flip Thom Browne Edition, the second release provides a deeper level of hardware and software integration.

Inspired by Thom Browne’s iconic uniform and signature brand colors, iconic Samsung foldable devices are given a premium makeover. Placed in a package that serves as the centerpiece to a stunning collection. From the moment you receive it, the Galaxy Z Fold2 Thom Browne Edition delivers a striking, beautiful experience. The box opens to reveal your new devices and their accessories, resembling a classic jewelry box that is an incredible addition to any surface.

The geometric grey and signature multicolor stripe is complemented by a grosgrain pattern, creating a visual texture of fabric on Galaxy Z Fold2’s unique design. Software additions, including a new lock screen and exclusive photo filter, digitize the Thom Browne world and bring a sense of luxury into every interaction.

Each Thom Browne Edition Package includes the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2, Galaxy Watch3, Galaxy Buds Live and an array of fully customized accessories all featuring elements of Thom Browne’s iconic design.

“Samsung confirmed that the Galaxy Z Fold 2 Thom Browne Edition is going to cost $3,299. That’s a full $1,299 premium over the $1,999 price tag of the Galaxy Z Fold 2. However, you actually get more in the box than just the new foldable phone,” commented sammobile.com.

Specially for Galaxy Z owners, Samsung is offering Galaxy Z Concierge, a service to provide customers with 24/7, one-on-one assistance. You can also enjoy one-time Infinity Flex Display protection against accidental damage within one year of purchasing your phone.

A 6.2-inch Infinity-O Cover Screen provides maximum usability so you can check email, look up directions, or even watch your favorite content without needing to unfold your device every time. When unfolded, the massive 7.6-inch Main Screen, with minimized bezels and notch-less Front Camera, immerses you with a 120Hz adaptable refresh rate for smooth scrolling and gameplay. To complete the experience, the Galaxy Z Fold2 comes with the best dynamic sound available on a Galaxy device to date, with enhanced stereo effect and clearer sound provided by high-dynamic dual speakers.

The Galaxy Z Fold2 is re-engineered with a sleek, unified design that delivers a smooth, high-end feel. Samsung Ultra Thin Glass is now on the Main Screen, providing a more premium and refined feel for the display. Its design is anchored by the Hideaway Hinge, which fits seamlessly into the device body with the CAM mechanism and enables free-standing capabilities that power all-new Flex mode experiences. Galaxy Z Fold2 also employs sweeper technology, first introduced on the Galaxy Z Flip, within the gap between the body and hinge housing to repel dust and undesirable particles. As Galaxy Z Fold2 features a third-generation refined design, the space for
the sweeper structure is even smaller than on the Galaxy Z Flip. To achieve this, Samsung developed new innovative sweeper technology to achieve the same level of protection in a smaller space. The Galaxy Z Fold2 Hideaway Hinge features revolutionary slim cutting technology, modified fiber composition and adjusted fiber density.

Customizable to Match Your Style – For those looking to stand out even more, Samsung is offering an online tool to customize your Galaxy Z Fold2 with four distinct Hideaway Hinge colors – Metallic Silver, Metallic Gold, Metallic Red, and Metallic Blue. Now you can create the Galaxy Z Fold2 that perfectly complements your unique style, adding a personalized touch to premium design.

These boots weren’t made for walking: dolphin-shaped ‘pedestal shoes’ immobilise models

October 11, 2019 by Editorial Team

This article titled “These boots weren’t made for walking: dolphin-shaped ‘pedestal shoes’ immobilise models” was written by Alyx Gorman, for theguardian.com on Tuesday 1st October 2019 02.51 UTC

What happens when a dolphin, a football and a plinth get spliced together in the style of The Fly? At Paris fashion week the conceptual American designer Thom Browne answered the question no one had thought to ask with four pairs of vertiginous “pedestal shoes” in the shape of a leaping dolphin, stabilised by glossy black waves.

Models required assistance to lower themselves into the surreal creations, and stood motionless throughout the show, granting new meaning to the expression “footlocker”. The fashion publication WWD reported that the heels were so “harrowing” one model had to extricate herself from them before the show finished.

Shoes so extreme they rob their wearers of mobility (and dignity) fitted the show’s pre-French Revolution theme. High heels reigned, particularly for men, in the Rococo era. But the Sun King probably would not have approved of Browne’s pairs – at the time, heels were a statement of social standing and the king had the highest pair in the room.

At Browne’s spring 2020 menswear presentation, models were also motionless in their kicks – though those resembled beach balls rather than marine wildlife.

Like the garden of white flowers, seersucker-covered pannier skirts and wire beehive headdresses covered in red, white and blue bows, Browne’s shoes are purely for show. But that doesn’t mean dolphins won’t have a flipper in Browne’s retail collection. They appeared as appliques on relatively wearable seersucker jackets – and a small sports bag also assumed dolphin form.

This follows Browne’s $3,970 dog-shaped “Hector” bag, part of a menagerie of animal handbags that also includes an $1,800 Loewe elephant and Judith Leiber’s enduring crystal bird clutches ($4,000 and up).

Whether you view these fauna flourishes as madness or a joyful element of fashion’s fantasy, no model should have to fill out a worker’s compensation claim stating “ankle injury due to fall from dolphin shoes”.
