Introduction

From technology to fashion

With continuous innovation in smartphone technology, the emergence of folding-screen smartphones has offered a new perspective, redefining the aesthetics.

Working with Uniplan, leading global smartphone brand Honor hosted a technology-themed fashion show at the historic 1862 shipyard in Shanghai. This event marked the official launch of the first Honor folding screen mobile phone, the Honor V Purse.

The challenge

Creating a tech-fashion extravaganza

Through the seamless integration of technology and fashion style, Honor has crafted a unique piece of wearable tech.

This device, the industry's first one-of-a-kind ‘folding screen purse phone’, challenges the conventional folding screen designs and will revolutionise the way users interact with their devices. Designed specifically to appeal to fashionable consumers, it provides a fresh and imaginative fusion of style and technology.

The challenge here was to create an event where a renowned smartphone brand could launch their newest project, increase their fashionable reputation and attract a new demographic of consumer in the process.

What We Did

Delivering an immersive station experience

As Honor's first foray into the fashion consumer market, the Honor V Purse held significant importance for the brand, symbolising both a milestone and a bold new venture.

Uniplan created an immersive space aligned with the product positioning. It included a fashion show and photo areas where celebrities, influencers, and the public could interact, generating content for Honor. With the event taking on the theme of a journey, the charming aesthetic of an old-fashioned train was employed. Every detail was thought about - from invitations that looked like train tickets to exhibition areas transformed into train carriages.

How We Delivered

Catwalk show? Launch event? Redefining a mobile phone unveiling

Adhering to the ‘from technology to fashion' philosophy of Honor, the entire exhibition area here replicated the display style of the luxury goods world, highlighting the sophisticated and high fashion feel of the Honor V Purse.

The event hosted popular Chinese celebrities like Lin Yun and He Ruixian, who participated in the photoshoots and modelled on the catwalk. Our approach to combining a mobile phone launch with a celebrity event brought a new perspective on an established format and significantly boosted the exposure of the Honor V Purse. The invited media extended beyond the technology sector to include representatives from the local fashion industry. This allowed us to show off the product's positioning and unique selling points from multiple angles. As a result, the event garnered substantial attention in major Chinese media outlets, even surpassing expectations.
