Millions of global Smart TV viewers are now able to watch Asia’s leading fashion event Digital Fashion Week through its TV app.
Digital Fashion Week developed its first TV app using the Opera TV Snap technology, which transforms online video content into ready-to-run apps fully optimized for Smart TV devices.
The app gives viewers access to top fashion content, including catwalk shows of the best young Asian designers, interviews with fashion icons and highlights from star-studded events. Digital Fashion Week Bangkok is now happening from 6th to 9th November, in partnership with Siam Paragon Group.
Available on both the Opera TV Store application platform and Amazon Fire TV, the Digital Fashion Week app is part of a collection of web apps made for widescreen, high-definition television, so viewers can catch their favorite shows in all their glory.
