FINDING HARMONY
Welcome to a special edition of The Moodie Davitt Spotlight Series eZine, which tells the story of La Prairie’s newest skincare innovation, the Skin Caviar Harmony L’Extrait.
In these pages, we also explore the Swiss prestige skincare house’s never-ending Pursuit of Harmony in the fields of beauty, science, art and architecture.
As with every major launch, La Prairie is celebrating the Skin Caviar Harmony L’Extrait with a compelling artistic collaboration. In this case the partnership honours the remarkable female artists of the Bauhaus movement, who overcame the societal expectations of their time to become pioneers in their own right.
The women of Bauhaus paved the way for other women architects and designers through their works and teachings, pushing the field of design forward. To honour them, La Prairie has launched its own ‘Women Bauhaus Collective’.
The Bauhaus movement, which finds harmony in disparate shapes, lines and colours, has been a consistent source of inspiration for La Prairie over the years. This is particularly true for this latest collaboration, which honours the often overshadowed women of Bauhaus (see page 6), by giving young female artists a platform to learn, get inspired and showcase their craft.

The women of Bauhaus paved the way for other women architects and designers through their works and teachings, pushing the field of design forward. To honour them, La Prairie has launched its own ‘Women Bauhaus Collective’.
The ‘Women Bauhaus Collective’ by La Prairie showcases five young female artists, who are graduates from the world’s leading art and design schools. Led by acclaimed Dutch designer Sabine Marcelis, each of the women were tasked with interpreting the theme ‘Pursuit of Harmony’ across various mediums. The results debuted in Art Basel and were then showcased in an immersive virtual exhibition on laprairie.com.
In these pages, we take a closer look at the science that powers the Skin Caviar Harmony L’Extrait. Once again, harmony is a key theme in this beauty breakthrough, as La Prairie strives to find balance between the skin’s horizontal and vertical elements. Intrinsic to nature, harmony is a central theme across various disciplines for La Prairie, which seeks to discover it in the art of beauty from formulation, packaging, design and communication..
