Made publicly available 10:00 AM on 12 September, Samsung saw enthusiastic response to this striking and inviting collaboration which proudly brings back black-tie elegance to the Galaxy Portfolio.

The Galaxy Z Fold5 Thom Browne Edition features Samsung’s latest foldable technology, combined with Thom Browne’s signature design elements. This limited edition also includes two leather pouch cases and a special edition S Pen 1 . Included as well is the Galaxy Watch6, epitomizing timeless style and comes with two leather straps: one with black pebble leather and the other with red, white and blue striped leather. These colors are also used on the 25W travel adapter, the coin-style watch charger and an exclusive fabric USB-C to USB-C cable — all brimming with Thom Browne’s trademark influence.

Blue Avelino, Head of Mobile Experience for Samsung Electronics Philippines, says, “We are definitely excited for the response that we saw for the Galaxy Z Fold5 Thom Browne edition. The partnership between Samsung and Thom Browne started because of our strong belief that it is possible to draw upon the similarities between fashion and technology to create a smartphone that introduced an entirely new design identity. We are very proud to have finally launched this limited-edition collection in the Philippines for the first time.” It was in 2020 when leading technology company Samsung first collaborated with iconic New York Fashion brand Thom Browne. 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 that story continues with the release of the latest generation of the Thom Browne collection from Samsung.

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. and Thom Browne today announced the newest arrivals from their enduring partnership: the Galaxy Z Fold5 Thom Browne Edition. The offering brings together sartorial style and cutting-edge technology, demonstrating a tireless commitment to quality and design — along with additional accessories that bring a level of sophistication fit for a table at the most exclusive gala. This limited edition is as striking as it is inviting, with each piece featuring expert craftsmanship and premium details.

“Mobile technology is expected to provide more than just function – it’s an extension of our lifestyles,” Stephanie Choi, EVP & Head of Marketing of Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics. “Our longstanding work with Thom Browne is rooted in a shared commitment to pairing iconic style with advanced innovation and this collection is no exception.”

Bringing Black-Tie Elegance to the Galaxy Portfolio

The grandeur and luxury of a black-tie event serve as the inspiration for the Galaxy Z Fold5 Thom Browne Edition, which is instantly recognizable from a distance thanks to its iconic and delicate design details.

The special edition of the Galaxy Z Fold5 features both Samsung’s latest foldable technology and an homage to Thom Browne’s signature design elements with its black pebble leather and grosgrain details. The sleek exterior has been enhanced with a bevy of design elements: Thom Browne’s signature red, white, and blue stripes; fabric texture etched on the back glass; an accentuating black frame and gold hinge; and gold rings around the camera lenses. The limited edition Galaxy Z Fold5 also comes with two distinct leather pouch cases and a special edition of the S Pen¹, a noteworthy addition.

“This continued collaboration with Samsung represents an evolution of what we’ve been creating together for years,” said Thom Browne. “Once again, we want to show that a perfect blend of top quality, innovative design, and a classic aesthetic can become a powerful form of self-expression. I believe this Galaxy Z Fold5 Thom Browne Edition is the ultimate example of turning advanced technology into a bold statement.”

And the collaboration doesn’t end with just the product either: the packaging of the Galaxy Z Fold5 Thom Browne Edition boasts the iconic Thom Browne briefcase. Elevating the black-tie effect, the stylish packaging turns a typical unboxing into the upgraded experience of opening a briefcase, while also being designed for long-term use as a memento.

Included in this Thom Browne Edition, the Galaxy Watch6 epitomizes timeless style. Complete with the unique Thom Browne aesthetic, the design features a graceful gold-tone body, special complementary watch face, and the Thom Browne logo engraved on the side. Thom Browne’s red, white and blue colors have also been applied to the buckle, showcasing sophisticated attention to detail. This limited edition Galaxy Watch6 comes with two leather straps: one with black pebble leather and the other with red, white and blue striped leather. These colors are also used on the 25W travel adapter, the coin-style watch charger and an exclusive fabric USB-C to USB-C cable — all brimming with Thom Browne’s trademark influence.

Availability

In limited numbers, the Galaxy Z Fold5 and Galaxy Watch6 Thom Browne Edition will be available from September 12 in select markets including the Philippines. Sales will begin on September 12 on Samsung.com.

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. Opening the luxurious box containing the Galaxy Buds Live and Galaxy Watch3, can be likened to a drawer that revealed a cache of treasured items. 

The Galaxy Z Fold3 and Galaxy Z Flip3 Thom Browne Editions pushed the partnership forward in 2021

In 2021, the collaboration went for a more futuristic aesthetic. Weaving Thom Browne’s impeccable design with Samsung’s pioneering technology, the collection offered three packages, including the latest Galaxy Z Fold3, Galaxy Z Flip3, Galaxy Buds2, Galaxy Watch4 and S Pen Pro. Thom Browne’s signature colors bordered the new matte white finish, paired in perfect symmetry with the streamlined glass body. Shiny silver hinges added to the unique design approach, enhancing reflections of light. The distinctive red, white and blue grosgrain detail was updated to look the future.

And for the first time since the partnership started, Samsung and Thom Browne are inviting users in the Philippines to take a seat at the table of unmistakable luxury and refinement. Check out the teaser video to view the new Samsung x Thom Browne collaboration and stay tuned on September 7 to see how Samsung continues to blend technology with fashion at Samsung Philippines.
