Samsøe Samsøe Pay with Screen Time

Insight

At Paris Fashion Week, style moves at the speed of a swipe. Moments are captured, curated, and shared before they even hit the runway.

Samsøe Samsøe’s timeless basics offer a striking contrast to the hyper-digital spectacle that defines Paris Fashion Week, refocusing on the show rather than the screen.



Idea

The less time you spend on your phone during Paris Fashion Week, the less you pay in Samsøe Samsøe stores.

The week following Paris Fashion Week, anyone could simply show up to a boutique and reveal their screen time reduction at checkout to receive a markdown equivalent to their percentage drop in usage.



A playful stand against digital frenzy.

Through playful digital reminders and targeted out-of-home placements, mantras are spread that serve as playful call to actions to step away from screens.


A person pushes a stroller past a black-painted building with posters on the windows. The posters repeatedly state, “PAY WITH TIME,” “SHARE THE PAIN,” and similar phrases in black text on white paper.
A man walks past a large white poster on a city street wall that reads, Pay with screen time. The less screen time during pay, the less you pay, in handwritten black letters.
A person stands at a table using a heat press machine to print a design onto a white shirt in a modern clothing store. Shirts on hangers and large windows are visible in the background.
A person walks past a storefront covered with white posters that read “Pay with screen time. 30% on whatever in the shop. Spend your screen time wisely” in black handwritten letters. Another blurred person walks by.
A white SAMSØE SAMSØE T-shirt with a subtle printed text 30% from last week and attached tags, one of which reads PAY WITH YOUR CONSCIENCE and another labeled HOW WE CARE.
A glass door with the handwritten message LOG OFF DURING PFW FW25 in white letters, reflecting nearby Parisian buildings and a street scene.

Impact

Pay with Screen Time is not about bargains. It’s a cultural statement amid the hyper-digital world of Fashion Week.

The activation successfully dared editors, influencers, and all customers to swap endless snapping and scrolling for real-life fashion; reaffirming Samsøe Samsøe’s position as the brand that champions authenticity when it matters most.
