Art Basel Recap: Champagne Wishes, Caviar Dream
How this skincare brand brings Luxury into the art world
When you're in the business of beauty and luxury, you can't help but be inspired by the world around you. At La Prairie Skincare, the brand believes art drives innovation and the evolution of beauty.
It’s been a decade since the brand approached me as a young fashion editor to try its products and write about its skin care products. Since then, I have followed the brand from its launches to the artists collaborations throughout the year.
It’s been 40 years since La Prairie’s partnership with feminist artist Niki de Saint Phalle. It’s also been 20 years since the beginning of Art Basel. Every year, it’s always a dream to see how much my favorite skincare brand evolves.

Who the brand is partnering with and what products it is launching with the start of new seasons. Art Basel has become the pinnacle of beauty culture. It’s every artist's career goal to collaborate with a luxurious institution like La Prairie.
Niki de Saint Phalle and La Prairie Skincare had a creative encounter in 1982. After, the luxury house embraced this singular cobalt blue hue to envelop its Skin Caviar collection. Which currently has become a skincare icon. It’s a fortunate encounter that sparked a bond and sealed it forever.
This year, La Prairie and Art Basel collaborated to bring you an experience like no other. At the Convention Center and at The Standard Hotel Miami Beach, we the brand showcased limited-edition art pieces by the late artist Niki de Saint Phalle at our VIP Collectors Lounge.
In the La Prairie lounge, I had the opportunity to learn even more about the House's relationship with Niki de Saint Phalle. I also received a personalized skincare consultation and some mini caviar lotion.
I often think about the convergence of luxury skincare, art, and technology that participants infused at this year's Art Basel. Focusing on how artists these days want brand affiliation and representation for years to come. The lounge's demographic, and even the pool club activities, were filled with art enthusiasts, excited about meeting the next Niki de Saint Phalle.
Check out some of the people, places and scenes of La Prairie Skincare’s week long retreat for art-goers on Miami beach.
