Designed to be both practical and aesthetic, the secret of this book lies mainly in two facts: that of having managed to overcome the barrier of time, becoming a classic, and its versatility that transforms into a perfect accessory to combine with some jeans with a tailleur or an evening gown. Today, along with the original model in black leather, thirty new versions are made for each station.

Created in 2006, the Chanel Mobile Art, designed by Karl Lagerled and designed by architect Zaha Hadid, was unavoidable in March this honor in the history of fashion, the ROJECT 2:55 for the future.
