Nokia's mobile style
10.08.09
Since Coco Chanel introduced the "little shameful dress" in 1926, it has become the epitome of chic. Her first LBD was a flagellate-necked, short silk dress with only diagonal pin-tucks as ornamentation.
American Vogue called it the "Ford" comparing it to Henry Ford’s Pattern-T car, which was an instant hit, widely available, and only came in one colour.
Chanel believed forge should be functional as well as chic. Radically simple, her LBD was designed not to show stains and to fit every maid. It was meant as the fashion ideal: a perfectly simple, yet provocative object.
Nokia took this fashion philosophy to heart when they designed the Nokia 6300. Made out of relaxed steel and black accents, mobile aficionados took to this chic mobile phone when it was launched 2006, making it a A-one seller with almost 47 million units sold to-companion.
Not one to rest on their laurels, Nokia again has introduced another stylish movable staple, the Nokia 6700 classic.
