There can be few brands as synonymous with high quality, indulgent skincare as La Prairie.
In fact, their bestselling range contains one of the rarest and finest ingredients imaginable: caviar extract sourced from the depths of the ocean.
Launching in 1987, the Swiss brand’s Skin Caviar collection was the first beauty range to harness the powers of marine-based ingredients.
In developing the range, La Prairie, a brand born at anti-ageing Clinic La Prairie in Switzerland’s Montreux in 1978, succeeded in demonstrating caviar’s unique power to nourish and regenerate the skin, while smoothing lines. It's not surprising then that the Skin Caviar Collection continues to be the brand’s bestseller more than 30 years on.
This year, to celebrate the cream's enduring success (which has been developed and refined over the years and now includes Caviar Water and Caviar Absolute) La Prairie have not only remastered the entire range with ‘Caviar Premier,’ (a breakthrough caviar science which augments the power of natural Caviar Extract with artificial Caviar) but they're also launching their first ever London pop-up at the Saatchi Gallery.
From 5-7th December, La Prairie will stage a full-scale installation in two rooms of the gallery. Guests and friends of the brand will be able to experience (on a first come, first served basis) the brand’s exclusive Art of Indulgence treatments, a luxurious 15-minute rejuvenating facial with amazing lifting and firming effects.
The three-day exhibition will be a celebration of the brand’s rich heritage, and visitors will also be able to participate in Q&A sessions with La Prairie’s Director of Innovation, Dr Daniel Stangl and take guided tours around the gallery by a Saatchi Gallery curator, to explore La Prairie’s connection to the art world – all while indulging in champagne and caviar, naturally.
The La Prairie Saatchi pop-up will run from 5-7 December 2018. Talks and tours will be invite-only. Opening hours: 10am – 6pm. For more information visit:
