The Sign Language of Chanel Lacquer

September 20, 2012 4:28 PM

You can thank Ruth Hogben for your current addiction to fashion video.  The artist has shot for Lady Gaga, Gareth Pugh, and Louis Vuitton.  With industry standards requesting her services, there's no surprise Hogben was tapped to film this short featuring Chanel's Spring 12 nail colors.  Told solely in sign language, Dutch model Saskia De Brauw illustrates Coco Chanel's most elegant quotes with pretty fingers painted with Chanel lacquer.  

Be sure to visit T-Magazine’s website for the full video.  For now, check out these screenshots!  And catch both Ruth Hogben and Saskia De Brauwn in our upcoming issue, Transformation.  Available in October.
