CHANEL FIELD TRIP!

A walk through Chanel's new building, in the middle of Central Park!

Think Chanel and you probably think "amazing handbag I need to have."

That's a good association, but it's not the only one:  Recently, Chanel's paired with the Iraqi architect Zaha Hadid, a Pulitzer-Prize winning designer whose modern structures have gained fame and curiosity all over the world. 

Together, Karl Lagerfeld and Zaha Hadid built "the Chanel container," a plastic and fantastic monument to contemporary art that's smack in the middle of Central Park.  For the next month, visitors will be able to push through it - below is the sneak peek of what happened when NYLON did.
