On September 7, Johannesburg’s cultural set gathered at Diane Paris’ newly launched showroom to toast the arrival of Wanted magazine’s most anticipated venture yet, the launch of 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, one of the year’s defining moments on the African art calendar. “To see everyone gather here, not just in the name of art but in the name of culture, is refreshing,” noted Kwanele Kunene of FNB Art Joburg. “It’s heartwarming, it shows that we’re taking art seriously. When Quintessentially and Wanted approached us, we knew it would take things several notches higher.”
For Wanted, now in its 21st year, the Most Wanted Club is a natural evolution. More than a magazine, Wanted has always been a cultural compass. “I’ve always maintained that Wanted is like the most knowing person at the private members’ club,” remarked editor Aspasia Karras. “The person you want to speak to because they know everything and the reason we know everything is because we’re at parties like this. Tonight isn’t just a celebration of FNB Art Joburg, but of Johannesburg itself.”
The celebration drew a constellation of notable guests including media personality Boity Thulo, designer Thebe Magugu and musician and broadcaster Unathi Nkayi. SA music royalty Zakes Bantwini set the tone for the night with a performance that had guests dancing under the rare blood moon eclipse, a moment that perfectly encapsulated the club’s vision of blending art, culture and unforgettable experience.
With champagne flowing and conversations weaving through art and luxury, the evening captured the essence of the Most Wanted Club: carefully curated encounters where culture, connection and celebration are at the forefront.
