Animating Chanel. Peter Philips


"Peter Philips Brings His Beauty Kit to Life for the Brand's Cheeky Short" . What' s going on? I don' t have words to describe the genius of Peter Philip, graphic designer before attending Antwerp's Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts who made his name pursuing the unexpected. I have to know him. He knows what the girls want and how, so this is the reason why  Chanel’s Global Creative Director of Makeup took a break from conceptualizing cosmetic gold to don the animator’s cap for today’s short, a work inspired by a series of headdresses he crafted from beauty product packaging for a Vogue Paris shoot. Compacts, glosses, brushes, lipsticks and more became funny characters, little chic monster robots,  up to a more familiar ground, with a model whose chic ensemble channels Mme Chanel herself. “If it were up to me it would have been disco”  he confesses. So Philip we want to dance with you "from disco to disco" and i hope not to find some Rouge Coco animated lipstick in my bath's locker tonight.
