I learned tonight about a great temporary exhibit in Central Park entitled "Chanel Mobile Art." 15 artists from around the world have been inspired by the 1955 Chanel bag and their efforts are celebrated in this spectacle. A "flying saucer-esque" building rests at the Rumsey Playfield for three weeks, ending November 9.
I ended up going to this exhibit on Saturday night and little did I know that although tickets are free, they were all reserved immediatley after this "spacecraft" landed in NYC. After a little persuading at the door, we got in! It was certainly well worth it. The variety of art mediums and an audio guide by none other than Coco Chanel completed the atmosphere. As I moved from one room to the next, each got more and more unique. From cardboard boxes with lights and digital images moving throughout, to the giant bag and a wish tree with luggage tags, this experience was like no other. Exciting, inspiring and fashion forward.
