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).

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

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.
