KANEBRIDGE MEDIA LAUNCHES QUARTERLY LIFESTYLE MAGAZINE FOR AN EDUCATED MARKET

More than 100 guests from business, property, design and media gathered at Warwick Farm last week to celebrate the launch of Kanebridge Quarterly.

The latest addition to the Kanebridge Media stable, Kanebridge Quarterly magazine offers readers a blend of stories on real estate, personal finance and building and renovating, complemented by features from their commercial partners, The Wall Street Journal.

Kanebridge Quarterly joins boutique publisher Kanebridge Media’s existing title, the Australia & New Zealand Robb Report, as well as Kanebridgenews.com, which provides daily updates on property, money and lifestyle, both locally and overseas.

Guests gathered at William Inglis Stables at Warwick Farm to hear guest speakers including leading economist and Kanebridge Quarterly columnist, Dr Andrew Wilson, award-winning interior designer Greg Natale and Australian F1 driver Dylan Young.

Editor-in-Chief, Robyn Willis, described the magazine as outward looking, aimed at an educated, aspirational second and third homebuyer market.

“Our readers are people who have bought and sold property before and know a thing or two about the markets. Often, they’ve renovated, whether it’s the family home or an investment property, so they’ve learned a little about how the building industry works,” she said. “We’re here to help them on those next steps with expert advice, information and inspiration and we’ve achieved that by seeking out the best people in their field.”

With a mix of beautiful imagery and information-rich stories, Kanebridge Quarterly offers intelligent but accessible content to produce a coffee table manual for anyone wanting to know more about money, property or building a home.

Inside the Kanebridge Quarterly magazine

The glossy print title in A4 format offers a blend of stories on property, personal finance and building and renovating. Target readership is an educated audience looking to take their next step, whether that is in property, investing in shares, or creating their dream home.

“There are a lot of lifestyle magazine titles on the market right now, but few can match the imagery with truly useful information on how to create a beautiful life,” Ms Willis said. “We aim to help readers on their path to wealth creation, whether that’s in property, investment or building the home they have always dreamed of with the stepping stones to get them there.”

In addition to stories and news from around the country, Kanebridge Quarterly has partnered with the Dow Jones suite of titles, including Wall Street Journal, Penta, Mansion Global and Barron’s to offer readers insights from the US and beyond.

Kanebridge Quarterly is available for purchase here.

The personal wardrobe of the late fashion designer Vivienne Westwood, who is credited for introducing punk to fashion and further developing the style, is headed to auction in June.

Christie’s will hold the live sale in London on June 25, while some of the pieces will be available in an online auction from June 14-28, according to a news release from the auction house on Monday.

Andreas Kronthaler, Westwood’s husband and the creative director for her eponymous fashion company, selected the clothing, jewellery, and accessories for the sale, and the auction will benefit charitable organisations The Vivienne Foundation, Amnesty International, and Médecins Sans Frontières.

The more than 200 lots span four decades of Westwood’s fashion, dating to Autumn/Winter 1983-84, which was one of Westwood’s earliest collections. Titled “Witches,” the collection was inspired by witchcraft as well as Keith Haring’s “graphic code of magic symbols,” and the earliest piece being offered from it is a two-piece ensemble made of navy blue serge, according to the release.

“Vivienne Westwood’s sense of activism, art and style is embedded in each and every piece that she created,” said Adrian Hume-Sayer, the head of sale and director of Private & Iconic Collections at Christie’s.

A corset gown of taupe silk taffeta from “Dressed to Scale,” Autumn/Winter 1998-99, will also be included in the sale. The collection “referenced the fashions that were documented by the 18th century satirist James Gillray and were intended to attract as well as provoke thought and debate,” according to Christie’s.

Additionally, a dress with a blue and white striped blouse and a printed propaganda modesty panel and apron is a part of the wardrobe collection. The dress was a part of “Propaganda,” Autumn/Winter 2005-06, Westwood’s “most overtly political show” at the time. It referenced both her punk era and Aldous Huxley’s essay “Propaganda in a Democratic Society,” according to Christie’s.

The wardrobe collection will be publicly exhibited at Christie’s London from June 14-24.

“The pre-sale exhibition and auctions at Christie’s will celebrate her extraordinary vision with a selection of looks that mark significant moments not only in her career, but also in her personal life,” Hume-Sayer said. “This will be a unique opportunity for audiences to encounter both the public and the private world of the great Dame Vivienne Westwood and to raise funds for the causes in which she so ardently believed.”

Westwood died in December 2022 in London at the age of 81.
