Thebe Magugu comments
“The Galaxy Z Flip5 is a beautifully crafted device, with a combination of craftsmanship and playfulness that I really admire. Quality and novelty are two of my passions, and the sleek, multifaceted look that I always strive for has much in common with the Z Flip5.”
“My work is multidimensional – which could be said for the Galaxy Z Flip 5; which finds its expression in so many ways. I Have designed two outfits that are a fresh take on Y2K, finding an intersection between the now and then. We will be launching these outfits in a novel way, to be revealed soon,”
The journey on the flipside show visitors the revolutionary edge of fashion through a dynamic interface featuring Thebe Magugu’s innovative designs. Guests will be able to explore their fun ‘flip side’ by taking a walk on the Fliptown catwalk, and showing off in multi-angle dynamic shot only possible with a foldable phone.
