LFW 2013: Samsung teams up with shoe designer for Galaxy Gear and Galaxy Note 3 accessories

Samsung Electronics and London-based shoe designer Nicholas Kirkwood have announced a range of exclusive accessories for Samsung’s latest mobile devices, the GALAXY Gear and GALAXY Note 3, at London Fashion Week (LFW).

The accessories feature Nicholas Kirkwood’s signature Chevron Pattern and are available in two colours: White and Black, and, wait for it, Black and White. These exclusive accessories will be available to buy around the world from various online and high street retail channels. They will be the first in a series of accessories to be launched by Samsung and Nicholas Kirkwood, featuring the same chevron design, with other GALAXY products to follow.

As well as a range of premium accessories, Nicholas Kirkwood, the Creative Director of London Fashion Week this year, has also designed the Samsung Galaxy VIP Lounge at Somerset House. This lounge incorporates a geometric graphic carpet, mirrored bars and diamond back lit optical displays, housing a number of brand new products from Samsung, including the GALAXY Gear and GALAXY Note 3, which visitors have a chance to play with before they even hit the shops. 

Samsung, which has teamed up with the British Fashion Council (BFC) for the second year running, is an Official Sponsor at London Fashion Week (LFW) from Friday 13th – Tuesday 17th September 2013. Samsung’s premium mobile devices – including the GALAXY Note 8.0 and GALAXY S4 Zoom – have been integrated throughout the showcase, used by key London Fashion Week staff on-site and at the concierge desks, as well as being made available for use in the press lounges and information points.

Says Nicholas Kirkwood: “I am excited to partner with Samsung for the second time to create an exclusive accessory for the Samsung GALAXY Note 3. When designing the case, I looked to create something that reflected both the quality and creativity of Samsung whilst also mirroring the artwork seen in my creative for London Fashion Week.”
