As red carpet fashion becomes top of mind this time of year, Samsung is teaming up with celebrity stylist Jason Bolden to give an insider’s look at how he’s helping his A-list clientele prepare for awards season using Samsung’s all-new Galaxy S21+ flagship smartphone.

Bolden is responsible for some award show fashion moments that live rent-free in our heads. His clients captivate fans in a world of virtual award shows and remote appearances. Over the past year, he’s leaned on cutting edge smartphone camera tech to out-do himself each time; red carpet or not.

Now, in his next chapter with Samsung, Bolden previews some of his favorite award show trends, including this season’s must have, and gives fans an intimate sneak peek on how the Galaxy S21+ in Phantom Violet has been his “secret weapon” when pushing the boundaries of fashion in a world of remote styling. Plus, with new innovative camera features like Director’s View, Jason reveals how he is able to create larger-than-life fashion moments by fostering collaboration and sharing inspiration with his celebrity clients..

We recently caught up with Bolden to talk about his top fashion forecasts and trends to expect this year.

Look out for more red carpet glitz and glam this season. According to the JSN Studio founder, celebrity clients want to push the envelope through bold pops of vibrant color, showstopping prints, and glamorous textures, sequins, and sparkle.

“For the past year, celebrities embraced a more relaxed aesthetic,” Bolden adds. “This season, they’re excited about celebrating their accomplishments after an unprecedented year. Color makes you happy and it can give you that extra push. We’ve turned a new corner and we’re preparing to share that happiness through vibrancy.”

New camera innovations empower Bolden to push the boundaries of fashion with flawless execution. If a client needs try-on instructions minutes before a remote appearance, he is able to recreate the fitting experience instantly by recording detailed fitting instructions in Director’s View, which leverages both the front and rear cameras simultaneously to paint a full picture of the end result.

“The camera is insane,” he says of the Galaxy S21 line. “I am able to bring back the excitement that can get lost when doing fittings virtually. We all love visual instructions and with Samsung’s new Director’s View feature, it’s like I’m always in room.”

He’s also keeping the creative energy alive by documenting fashion inspo whenever it strikes. Sharing stunning visual content that will get his celebrity clients excited is as easy as a tap of the Galaxy S21’s shutter button, allowing him to choose from a variety of Instagram-ready photos and videos via the Single Take feature.

More than ever before, creators like Bolden are leaning on cutting edge tech to power their creativity, collaborate with others, and reach new heights. The  Galaxy S21+  line is available on Samsung.com and in stores now.
