Designer creates latest clothing line on Samsung Galaxy Note 9

A fashion designer has created her latest collection – from sketches to 3D modelling and colouring – on a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 in what is believed to be a world first.

Award-winning designer Aurelie Fontan used the smartphone to create her Mobile Couture collection, using the device to sketch her initial ideas as well as build and print 3D prototypes used in the collection.

She used the phone’s built-in stylus – the S Pen – to help create different pieces and components for the collection, which comprises three dresses and a coat.

Ms Fontan then sent the files to a connected 3D printer and Joto X robotic drawing device, used to add patterns to garments.

“As someone whose creativity is driven by the potential of technology and science, it was really interesting for me to find that there was a smartphone that actually had the capabilities to control and own the whole production process of an entire collection,” she said.

“My ideas are ambitious and aim to challenge traditional processes so, as a young designer, it was liberating to be able to see them come to fruition using a device that I always have in my hand.”

The smartphone-based process also sped up the production process, which was shortened to eight days instead of the usual 14 for this type of work.

Samsung Europe’s Suzanne Smith said: “When we saw Aurelie’s work, we knew she epitomised our Note customers. The reason they’re so incredibly loyal is that it’s designed for a level of performance and power that people on-the-go truly need.

“This collection is a complete one-off and we see it as a gold standard for showcasing what Samsung smartphones can really achieve in the hands of people with ambition and creativity.”
