Ushering the release of the most anticipated smartphones and an event by Samsung, the Samsung S-Carpet: Fashion & Inspiration — Samsung Electronics Philippines fashion event done in the Philippines, and with collaboration with Fashion and Design Council Of The Philippines — which is a premier institution in terms of Philippine Fashion. Since this is a VIP event, I was fortunate to be invited and witness the collaboration of Mobile technology and Philippine Fashion by introducing the latest flagship of Samsung, the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ which is already introduced earlier.
You can spot top models in the Philippines are also invited at the event.

Besides the collaboration of Samsung and Fashion and Design Council Of The Philippines, their focus also is to showcase stunning all-Filipino designer pieces, and awarding of the first ever Samsung Noteworthy & EDGE Maker awards featuring Philippines fashion and art's d' elite.
Inspired by the spirit of pushing boundaries and driving innovation, Samsung once again fused fashion and technology by putting the spotlight on their established partnership with Fashion and Design Council Of The Philippines or FDCP. The Samsung S Carpet Fashion event featured an interactive digital fashion show that illustrated the marriage of style and technology, in support of Filipino artistry and creativity. All I can say is that the event is called Samsung X FDCP.

To open the program, acclaimed fashion designers Avel Bacudio, James Reyes, Ivarluski Aseron, Vic Barba, Joey Samson, and Anthony Nocom opened the show by unveiling the White Pearl Collection, which represented the blank canvas that designers start with as they explore the possibilities of where their creativity can take them. As a tribute to Samsung Galaxy Note5’s all-new design, and the maximum productivity that the all-powerful S Pen brings its users, a video was projected upon the screen showing the designers sketching their designs on the Galaxy Note5.
To the delight of the esteemed guests, the sketched designs were projected upon the white pieces as the models strutted down the catwalk.
