The ever-growing partnership of fashion and technology is catapulting the design world into a whole new dimension. The Samsung Innovation – Style Award initiative looks over the horizon of what fashion and technology may look like. It pushes the boundaries of style, design and innovation to bring people the best-in-class fashion couture.
Samsung will present the winning team of the Total Look Award with a Samsung GALAXY S4 device each. Meanwhile, the top three Samsung GALAXY S4 case cover designs will be rewarded with a RM1,000 cash prize for each designer.
