Samsung teaming up with Alexander Wang

New York-based designer Alexander Wang is collaborating with

Samsung Electronics on the industry’s first co-created print inspired by crowd-sourced sketches and images created using the Galaxy Note II.

Wang will be asking his friends, stylists, photographers and other industry figures to use the Galaxy Note II to create ‘doodles’ of an image, pattern or photo, which the designer will then curate into one collectively-inspired final print.

The print will then appear on a limited-edition bag, which will be available in key markets worldwide to raise funds for Art Start, a charity that uses the arts to nurture the creative talents of at-risk children and youth.

“I am most inspired from my everyday life and the people that surround me, so the idea of a co-creation with the people that I admire and respect the most is very exciting,” said Wang. “This collaboration represents a new way that technology and style can come together. And, through a concerted effort, I am happy to be a part of supporting such a great charity as Art Start that embraces creativity and art in a way that can change lives.”

In addition to partnering with Wang, Samsung mobile is also an official sponsor of New York Fashion Week and will host a VIP lounge where media can take advantage of work stations, internet, and battery replacements during the shows.
