Sarah Baker Perfumes— Sixth Floor


10 December 2016  - 22 January 2017

Having conquered the money and fame obsessed world of Television Soap Opera with her feature length film Impirioso, London based artist Sarah Baker has turned her attention to the milieu of perfume- because, of course all successful Soap star must endorse their own perfume!

Sarah Baker Perfumes will transform the aptly named Storefront into an escapade for your senses, where you can let yourself be swept away into a world of decadence and desire. Come to the glamorous launch of Sarah Baker Perfumes and we will help you indulge in this new line of luxurious fragrances.

Each of the four exciting new scents in the Sarah Baker Perfume line evokes a different fantasy experience: while one will take you on a yacht ride in the Greek Islands, another will recall a blazing open fire in a Highland’s pub. Each scent is inspired by luxurious fashion motifs such as Leopard, Greek Keys, Lace, and Tartan.

Events:
14 January 2017, 16.30-19.00
Sarah Baker, Impirioso screening

A 80s TV mini-series episode made by artist Sarah Baker, ‘ Impirioso’ explores luxury, idolatry, scandal and the constructs of dramatic television. Baker creates a fictional brand, Impirio Rosso and portrays the sordid affairs of luxury-obsessed Luccia Rosso, brought to life by actress Oliva d’Abo. Inspired by Patricia Reggiani-Gucci, who served time in prison for killing her husband, Maurizzio Gucci.
