As per The Korea Economic Daily, Samsung Electronics will also host a giveaway event via its official website. This will take place on Sept. 12, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and will be open to customers who would like to buy the new items.
“Mobile technology is expected to provide more than just function – it’s an extension of our lifestyles,” Samsung Electronics executive vice president and head of marketing of mobile eXperience business, Stephanie Choi, said in a press release. “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.”
