April 30, 2009 - PRLog -- SINGAPORE- Samsung announced today, the appointment of internationally acclaimed fashion designer Ashley Isham as an ambassador for its newly launched series of LED TVs in Singapore. The locally-born, London-based designer, whose work has graced luminaries such as Princess Haya of Jordan, Dido and Kylie Minogue, will represent the consumer electronic giant’s new category of TVs as a Style Ambassador.
