La Prairie collaborates with artist Pablo Valbuena
Luxe skincare brand, La Prairie, recently commissioned renowned artist, Pablo Valbuena, to create a unique light sculpture inspired by the Shape of Light, following the belief that shape and its influence on light's ineraction is the defining element of architecture.
“We strive to select artists who share La Prairie’s values,” La Prairie chief marketing officer, Greg Prodromides, said. “Contemporary art is intrinsic to the La Prairie identity, and we see it as a prism through which to express our story. The artists with whom we collaborate bring their unique perspective and artistic vocabulary to this story, elevating it further.
For this edition, we wanted to do something a little out of the ordinary – extraordinary, if you will – by placing the commissioned art piece outside the Art Basel venue, where it can be experienced by the public at large. At La Prairie, we feel very strongly about sharing art in order to elevate culture as a whole, a vision I know we share with Pablo.”
The immersive installation was displayed on Miami Beach’s storied waterfront on December 5 and 6, coinciding with the 2019 edition of Art Basel in Miami Beach.

Biologi raises $4,000 in just 24 hours for domestic violence awareness
Biologi is proud to announce it raised over $4,000 in just 24 hours for RizeUp Australia, through its campaign in support of the Education and Awareness of Domestic Violence against Women.
Biologi focused on raising awareness for the charity and donated 100 per cent of online store profits on Monday, November 25 to RizeUp, as well as opening up a channel for donations of all amounts through the brand's website.
The campaign was further promoted through social media, with top tier names like actress Teresa Palmer, actress Gemma Pranita, model Jordan Simek, Sonny Bill Williams' partner Lana Williams and model Oceana Strachan all promoting the cause on their social channels. Tapping into a powerful combined social media reach of 4,125,815, influencers posted the video along with personal messages and pleas to speak out against this epidemic.
Biologi’s campaign was originally centred around White Ribbon Day, however on the same day of filming the news came through that White Ribbon were going into liquidation. This news, combined with the recent statistics, meant that now more than ever, Australia needs to continue to build awareness and support for local victims of domestic violence.
