Guests gathered at the Art Gallery of NSW. The event was opened by Balmain Executive Chairman, Michael Holm followed by a succinct and humorous market commentary by Chief Executive Andrew Griffin.
The evening was further enriched by a special Q&A session with 2025 Archibald Prize winner, Julie Fragar and her portrait subject, Justene Williams. The conversation, hosted by Balmain COO, Jenni Neumann, offered guests a rare glimpse into the artistry and stories behind the celebrated work.

Earlier this month I sat down with Michael Bleby, Deputy Property Editor at the Australian Financial Review (AFR).

Balmain was proud to come on board as a new sponsor of this year’s Gears and Beers Festival in Wagga Wagga, a long-standing community event celebrating cycling and craft brewing in the heart of the Riverina.

Our recent ‘Conversations with Balmain’ evening was held at the Riverine Club in Wagga Wagga.
