MUMBAI: Smartphones play an increasingly integral role within fashion, and more specifically on the front row of global fashion week shows, with designs online before they hit the end of the runway. The leading functionality, design and imaging capabilities of the Nokia Lumia 1520 make it a perfect tool for the fashion world.
Nokia, an official partner at the Lakme Fashion Week Summer Resort 2014 in Mumbai, has tied up with leading design duo Shantanu & Nikhil, to create their exclusive Fashion Week collection. Inspired by the latest and biggest of the Nokia Lumia series- the Nokia Lumia 1520, the collection will be showcased at the fashion week on March 15, 2014, 7.30pm onwards.
With its 6 inch large screen, full HD assertive display and great readability in sunlight, the Nokia Lumia 1520 acted as the designers’ new canvas to tell their story. The theme of their collection ‘The Shadows Within’ is an inspiration from Nokia Lumia 1520’s brand promise of ‘Reliving the moment’, which the device brings out with its unparalleled HD 1080p Video Recording, Multi Directional Audio Capture with 4 Speakers and 20MP Pureview Camera capabilities. With the Nokia Lumia 1520 one can capture and re-live most memorable moments, as they happened. Similarly, Shantanu and Nikhil’s collection is about a timeless social avatar who has travelled many moods and moments… to become the time itself!
