Chanel lovers, take heed! The Lagerfeld led Mobile Art exhibit in Central Park, here in New York, will showcase the works of 15 contemporary artists. According the the NY Times, each was “…Asked to create a work that was at least in part inspired by Chanel’s classic quilted-style handbag. Artists recruited for the project include Sophie Calle of France, Sylvie Fleury of Switzerland, Subodh Gupta of India and the Russian collective Blue Noses.”

If that wasn’t enough, the structure that houses the exhibit was designed by world famous London architect Zaha Hadid! For this alone, I will go just to be inside a Zaha Hadid designed infrastructure!

The exhibit will be open to the public beginning October 20th. It will be located at the Rumsey Playfield, midpark at 70th Street.

The exhibit runs from October 20 to November 9, 2008.
