Wanted’s spring events captured the essence of curated living, thoughtful, stylish, and deeply intentional

Living well in Hyde Park

A delicious embrace of the new season

Admittedly, getting anyone in Joburg to an event on a Saturday morning is a huge ask, but with Wanted, slow living, yoga, holistic wellbeing, and a lunch spread on the right side of healthy and sinful, who could resist?

And so we met in late August for Made To Live Well, a gathering at Hyde Park Corner in Joburg, for connection and mindful decompression that kicked off at Health Works, the all-encompassing wellness store.

Our guests — including entrepreneur Vika Shipalana; radio personality Refiloe Mpakanyane; wellness entrepreneur Vanessa Mhlom; and artists Buqaqawuli Nobakada, Chuma, and Sichumile Adam — were led to possibly the most welcoming Workshop 17 co-working space in the city, for a yoga session led by Wanted editor (and yogi) Aspasia Karras, followed by an incredible harvest table by Olives & Plates and a stop at activewear store Alchemy.

A Most Wanted reveal

Welcome to our world.

In early September, Joburg’s luxury set gathered at Diane Paris’s newly launched showroom to toast the arrival of Wanted magazine’s most anticipated venture yet: the Most Wanted Club.

In partnership with Quintessentially, the global name in bespoke lifestyle management, and hosted alongside FNB Art Joburg, the evening marked more than a party — it signalled the beginning of a new way of experiencing luxury: through curated access to the very best in entertainment, fashion, sport, art, and business. Fittingly, the launch unfolded as the closing celebration of FNB Art Joburg, a defining moment on the African art calendar, and drew a constellation of notable guests from the business and creative worlds.
