Fashion \ JANE ROCCA DISCOVERS THE ITALIAN

CONNECTION WITH DOM BAGNATO

(Supplied)

Dom & nunzio Bagnato

T

he first thing you notice about Dom Bagnato is his impeccable dress sense. He’s stylish, modern and elegant at once – he’s always wearing the latest fabrics from Milan, Florence and London and curates his tailored look with a cool Italian influence.

The 56-year-old designer, who has put his own name to his menswear label for the past 30 years, has lived and breathed fashion most of his life. Tailoring is in his DNA. And, along with his charming dress code, his smile and energy light up a room.

Whether he’s on judging panels at the Myer Fashions on The Field at Flemington, backstage at autumn/winter Myer runway shows or mingling at VIP events, Bagnato is one of the friendliest faces in the game.

He is a genuine spirit in a fickle business in which some designers can get too big for their boots and shun the media. He’s less about small talk and more about getting on with business, and always has time for those around him.

Bagnato runs the label with son Nunzio by his side – while his wife is in charge of the financial backbone. To have survived 30 years in menswear is a major feat, one Bagnato casually puts down to luck.

But surely it’s not solely about the cards falling the right way. It’s evident that hard work and sticking to what you believe in are what has made this Australian designer a standout in his field.

Labels come and go, but Bagnato has secured a loyal following, from young men in their 20s to gents in their 60s all keen to plug into his fashionable and elegant menswear that captures the heart and soul of what it means to be Italian.

“We just do what we do,” says Bagnato. “We stick to our guns. It’s always about great Italian fabrics, good quality shirts and modern and elegant fits when it comes to suits,” he says.

Their latest autumn/winter 2014 campaign was photographed at Panton Hill Winery – set against a beautiful backdrop of a rustic Italian-inspired vineyard

that reminds Bagnato of where his father grew up.

“I love the Italian connection, and shooting this campaign at the winery seemed fitting,” Bagnato says.

“Being in our 30th year in business, we wanted some elements in the collection that reflected things we are known for, like texture, fabric design and our Italian style.

“We zoned in on those and revved up the Italian style.

We start with luxurious fabrics and link back to Italy – it’s where my parents are from and it’s in my DNA. “Clothing is a way of communicating. Look at the Italians: it’s always about ‘la bella figura’. It’s about

P

(Chris Hopkins)

rix Fixe is not, despite its name, a posh French restaurant. “We are not fine dining,” our waitress emphasises – three times – at the start of Friday lunch. So I dutifully ignore the fact I am seated at a table double clothed in starchy white linen, set with gold-rimmed crockery and flashing glassware.

Prix Fixe is also, categorically, not a theatre restaurant. Again, this is despite all indications to the contrary. The advance “ticket” sales, the monthly “show” menu (March was A Midsummer Night’s Dream), the vampy billboard out front spruiking this city newcomer “starring Philippa Sibley”. Just goes to show, you can’t judge a cook by her cover.

“The table is the stage,” our waitress explains helpfully when she notices us glancing around for signs of entertainment.

But to more practical matters first. To score a table at Prix Fixe you must buy a “ticket” online, though the fortunate might score a seat simply by walking through the door.

It’s billed as Australia’s first ticketed restaurant but, in reality, it is a restaurant that takes only online bookings and effectively makes diners pay a sizeable deposit to secure their seat. A sizeable, non-refundable deposit, if I read their website correctly. It’s quite clever marketing

by Sibley and co-owner Jason Jones, but it wouldn’t fly unless the experience – and most importantly the food – was worth it. And they are.

Beyond the shimmery silver curtain at the entrance lies a long room that’s a little bit cabaret, a little bit bistro. There are mirrors on the rear wall, banquettes and bentwood-style chairs, intimate lighting filtered from street windows or trained onto clothed or marble Titania Chicken tables by ceramic lampshades. At eye level it’s elegant; exposed ceiling piping gives it an industrial edge. midsummer quips and retorts”.

I think it’s stuffing, cooked sous vide then browned in the oven. very nice. A little bit dessert-ish.

skordalia beneath. And a separate salad of crunchy cos leaves, about six in all, with a simple mustard-seed dressing – because Mustardseed was one of Titania’s fairy servants. Again, it’s lovely.

I have no idea why Act III is called Bottom. It’s a fetching arrangement of almond and pine-nut baklava, a panna cotta of truffled, slightly overpowering honey, apricot sorbet and then gold leaf and a sugared rose petal for whimsy. There’s so much going on that it doesn’t make sense in my mouth. The truffle, particularly, seems to have barged in on the wrong act.

Still, it’s been a fun and enjoyable lunch. So much so I wanted to go back for an encore the following week but they were booked out, which suggests Sibley has found a willing audience with this clever debut. I suspect that’s because, despite the theatrics, this is not a case of a chef indulging herself at the expense of the diner. She’s obviously cooking for our pleasure as well as her own. \ khill@theweeklyreview.com.au To read more reviews www.theweeklyreview.com.au/food

(Bruno Klomfar)

Books \ ALPINE ARCHITECTURE could work here too, writes CORRIE PERKIN

A

t first glance, the traditional European mountain chalet might appear to have little in common with the lifestyles and domestic needs of 21st-century Melburnians.

Made of logs and with sloping rooflines designed to cope with heavy snowfalls, the original alpine chalets were used only during the summer as herdsmen’s huts. Abandoned in winter, these buildings had to be simple in design, practical and resilient.

In their new book, Chalets: Trendsetting Mountain Treasures, architecture writers Michelle Galindo and Sophie Steybe recall the development of the chalet from herdsmen’s hut to alpine institution.

“Jean-Jacques Rousseau used the word ‘chalet’ in the mid-18th century,’’ they write in their preface.

“It was at this time that his theories regarding a simple, sublime life in connection with nature were of particular importance.

“The gentry built romantic huts in landscape gardens, and around the end of the 18th century this building type became typical of wild-romantic, picturesque mountain architecture.’’

Chalet architecture found a new fan base during the mid-19th century when alpine travel became the rage, particularly among English walking groups.

final word

starting the renovation

I can’t recommend enough taking on a project yourself. I watched my partner become increasingly comfortable about the building process and now not a day goes by without him saying how wonderful it is to shave in our new bathroom. In fact, he is often heard taking the credit for the floor tiles because he says he stepped aside when I selected them.

One final word of advice – stay somewhere else during the five weeks or so of construction. It is messy, dirty and damn uncomfortable – there is no other way to describe it.

It may, in fact, save your relationship and relations with tradespeople. It certainly worked well with my partner because he could go off to work fresh and clean but drop in to visit the building site and see the progress without living it. \

T

he backyard barbecue is as much a part of the Australian way of life as the beer that washes down the steaks. We love the casual, easy way of entertaining, although we are no longer turning on the flames to execute a quick chop à la char, but instead to plate up beautifully grilled meat, seafood and vegetables or a lip-smacking roast.

’ve never understood the allure of computer war games – highly stylised, fictional military operations populated with over-adrenalised, hysterical characters yelling at each other over the sound of explosions.

It’s like being in the cast of an amateur production of Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Pirates of Penzance – but without a libretto! A real war, however, is not a comic opera – the carnage, the trauma and deprivation are gut-wrenchingly abhorrent. The only uplifting aspect of war is the survivors’ humanity and their capacity for recovery when the war is over.

If you consider the number of immigrants who came here straight after World War II, all our Vietnam veterans and the involvement of our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, you quickly realise that an overwhelming number of people in Australia have directly or indirectly experienced loss, or know someone who has lost a friend or loved one as a result of war.

It’s therefore understandable that Anzac Day has grown to become Australia’s most important commemorative occasion. It’s an opportunity to remember and honour the Anzac legend, a day to celebrate our heroes and “she-roes”, and it’s also a day of introspection to consider our history and identity.

I hope Anzac Day brings some awareness of the reality of war to teenagers who witness the march or hear the stories shared at the many locations on the day. It may get them thinking in a different way from the dramas and video games that glorify warfare and militarism; service in the military isn’t entertaining.

Public Notice – Banyule City Council Notice of Intention to Declare Special Charge Heidelberg Central Shopping Precinct In accordance with a resolution of the Banyule City Council (“Council”) made at its ordinary meeting held on 14 April 2014, notice is hereby given that at the ordinary meeting of the Council to be held on 7 July 2014, it is the intention of the Council to declare a Special Charge (“Special Charge”) under section 163(1) of the Local Government Act 1989 (“Act”) for the purposes of defraying expenses to be incurred by the Council in, administratively only and subject always to the approval, direction and control of the Council, providing funds to the incorporated body known and operating as the Heidelberg Central Traders’ Association Incorporated (“Traders’ Association”) to be used for the purposes of the appointment of a part-time marketing coordinator, promotional, advertising, marketing, business development and other incidental expenses to be approved by the Council and agreed to from time to time between the Council and the Traders’ Association, all of which are associated with the encouragement of commerce, retail, and professional activity and employment in the Heidelberg Central Shopping Precinct (“Precinct” or “Scheme”). A detailed plan of the Scheme area is available for inspection at the offices of the Council, during normal office hours.

The Special Charge will be based on geographic criteria, having regard to the location of those rateable properties in the Precinct that are used, or reasonably capable of being used, for commercial, retail or professional purposes and further, the classification of those properties as receiving a “primary”, “secondary” or “tertiary” special benefit.

The Council considers that each rateable property and each business included in the Scheme area that is liable or required to pay the Special Charge will receive a special benefit because the viability of the Precinct as a commercial, retail and professional area will be enhanced through increased economic activity.

In performing functions and exercising powers in relation to Street Name

activities associated with the encouragement of commerce and retail activity in and around the area for which it is proposed the Special Charge will be declared, the Council intends to levy and spend an amount of $99,300 per annum, raising in total an amount of $695,100 over the 7 year period of the Scheme.

The Special Charge is to be declared, and will remain in force, for the period commencing on 1 July 2014 and ending on 30 June 2021.

For the period of the Scheme, the Special Charge will be assessed based on a flat charge of $552 per annum for properties located in the ‘primary benefit area’ (fronting Burgundy Street, ground floor), $276 per annum for properties located in the ‘secondary benefit area’ (adjoining side streets and Burgundy Street, first floor and above) and $223 per annum for properties located in the ‘tertiary benefit area’ (Warringal Shopping Centre).

The contributions to the Special Charge are set out alongside each property in the proposed declaration of Special Charge and are applicable to the properties set out in the following table.

The Special Charge will be levied by the Council sending a notice of levy annually to the persons who are liable to pay the Special Charge, which will require that the Special Charge must be paid by four instalments, to be paid by the dates which are fixed by Council in the notice.

Council will consider cases of financial and other hardship and may reconsider other payment options for the Special Charge.

For the purposes of having determined the total amount of the Special Charge to be levied under the Scheme, the Council considers and formally determines for the purposes of sections 163(2)(a), (2A) and (2B) of the Act that the estimated proportion of the total benefits of the Scheme to which the performance of the function and the exercise of the power relates (including all special benefits and community benefits) that will accrue as special benefits to all of the persons who are liable or required

to pay the Special Charge is in a ratio of 1:1 (or 100%). This is on the basis that, in the opinion of the Council, all of the services and activities to be provided from the proceeds of the expenditure of the Special Charge are marketing, promotion and advertising related and will accordingly only benefit those properties and businesses included in the Scheme that are used, or reasonably capable of being used, for retail, commercial or professional purposes.

Any person may make a written submission to the Council under sections 163A and 223 of the Act. In addition, any person who will be required to pay the Special Charge to be imposed by the proposed declaration, whether an owner or an occupier of a property included in the Scheme, has a right to object to the proposed declaration and may also make a written objection to the Council under section 163B of the Act. An occupier is entitled to exercise the right of objection if they submit documentary evidence with the objection which shows that it is a condition of the lease under which the person is an occupier that the occupier is to pay the Special Charge.

Written submissions to be submitted to the Council under section 223 of the Act and/or written objections to be lodged with the Council under section 163B of the Act must be received by the Council by 5pm on 26 May 2014.

Motoring \ rod easdown hails 50 years of the game-changing mustang

F

ord’s Mustang, one of the world’s most iconic sports cars, is turning 50 but the man who made it possible won’t be at the party. Lee Iacocca, now 89 and regarded as the father of the Mustang, had a falling out with Ford 14 years after the car was launched.

The Mustang, which at the time proved the financial salvation of the Ford Motor Company, was launched in New York on April 17, 1964, and the American car industry being what it is, the car was called a 1965 model. Simultaneous launches were held in 11 European countries. After the New York event, American motoring journalists took Mustangs on a 1200-kilometre drive intended to underline the car’s reliability.

The car was unique. Two-door, four-seat cars were hardly rare but this was the first that offered sports-car looks with passenger-car durability at a budget price. The US charge was $2368 – the price of an average car.

That bought a base model with a 76-kilowatt 2.8-litre six-cylinder motor and a three-speed manual gearbox. From there prices climbed; the options list was one of the longest in Ford’s history and included everything from a three-speed auto, power brakes and two-speed wipers to a 200-kilowatt, 4.7-litre V8 with a four-speed manual.

The Mustang, in convertible and hardtop,

was an instant hit and became an evergreen, recording nine million-plus sales in 50 years.

Anniversary celebrations are being held in New York, Las Vegas and Charlotte and about 150 Australian enthusiasts are attending. Two 1800-kilometre drives have been organised, both starting in Oklahoma. The eastbound drive finishes in Charlotte, North Carolina, the westbound in Las Vegas, Nevada.

At the same time a current Mustang is being displayed on the observation deck of New York’s Empire State Building.

Ford Australia has also run a social media campaign inviting people to nominate an equivalent of Route 66 for a Mustang drive.

Iacocca was a vice president of Ford and general manager of the Ford Division during development of the Mustang, and was the car’s driving force. He said its launch was one of the proudest moments in his life.

Its tearaway success enhanced his career considerably and he became president of the company in 1970. But a heavy public clash with Henry Ford II led to his sacking in 1978.

He was immediately courted by Chrysler and was appointed president, later publishing his autobiography, Iacocca, which became a bible for aspiring executives worldwide.

Portfolio magazine named him the 18th-greatest American CEO of all time. \ reasdown@theweeklyreview.com.au

European-style Cuisine 1/188 Yarra Street, Warrandyte APRIL 23, 2014 \ The weekly review 21

MACLEOD \ 33 SUGARLOAF DRIVE

A

rtists and daydreamers are drawn to the hills of Eltham North. Here, among the bush-cloaked dips and peeks, are plenty of places to hide away from the world and while away the hours in peace and quiet.

This property, despite commanding one of the area’s more prominent addresses in Ryans Road, is one such oasis.

The house is tucked away from the street on a rambling 2012-square-metre (half an acre) block that falls down into a gully and up again. Instead of a babbling stream, the cleft of the land is home to a lagoon-style pool.

So private is this spot that from down on the crazy-paved poolside, which is part deck and part sandstone, you can barely see a neighbour nor hear a passing car.

Lush tropical plants set against a backdrop of towering gums only enhance the sense of sanctuary.

Beside the pool is also the best spot to sit back and admire the architecture of the house. Different claddings – weatherboard, render, exposed brick and, of course, corrugated iron – lend the property a beach-house look and feel. Extensive decks connecting house and garden, along with a curved wave-like roof, contribute to a sort of kicked-back, coastal aesthetic.

Inside, the floor plan, though unconventional, has an easy, relaxed flow befitting the tranquility of the gardens.

The northern – or pool-facing – walls are of glass, allowing the views of the peaceful green surrounds and natural light to spill inside.

For lack of a better word, there is something a bit “Australiana” about this property. Not in that kitsch, souvenir sense, but in the way that describes something uniquely Australian. You just couldn’t imagine seeing a property like this anywhere else.

Accents of timber – in the floorboards, stairs and banisters, the cabinets and shelves – mimic the gums outside.

Earth-toned tiles and exposed brick walls are also used in that typically Eltham way; to mirror the landscape. Similarly, the colours of the walls are quintessentially Australian – deep burnt ochres contrasted with softer hues of eucalyptus and sand.

The property, of course, didn’t always look this way. The original house was a modest and nondescript weatherboard hailing from the 1970s.

The owners, only the second to call the property home in about 40 years, have renovated and extended the house – pushing it further out into the block – in the past two decades. The result is a house that succeeds in providing residents with plenty of places for relaxing with a red wine or entertaining en masse.

The open-plan family and dining room is served by a kitchen with a 900-millimetre Ilve oven. A fireplace up here adds character and warmth. In summer months, head down a level to the breezy, cavernous lounge, which opens out to the larger of two decks.

Guests have access to a full bathroom down here and a powder room closer to the entrance.

The accommodation is all up top, but cleverly zoned, in the original part of the house.

Two bedrooms are buffered from the others behind a large retreat, which has views of the pool. The guest bedroom, with walk-in wardrobe, also overlooks the water, while the main bedroom has the luxury of its own private, landscaped garden courtyard.

The main bedroom also benefits from a slick new en suite complete with floating twin vanities and frameless shower. \ LIAM CARTER property@theweeklyreview.com.au

In this elevated pocket of the Springthorpe Estate, houses are built into the hillside, resulting in great vertical proportions, wide street frontages and impressive views. Across from the Gresswell Hill nature reserve, this house offers modern living in a bush setting. An extra-large red pivot door is a good introduction to spacious family zones. The ground floor has one bedroom with a two-way partial en suite and walk-in wardrobe. There is also a dedicated home theatre, a cellar, gym and oversized garage with an attached workshop. Upstairs maximises the great views, with walls of glass and a corner balcony from which to enjoy the panorama. The open-plan kitchen, living and dining area with a view has the kitchen at its centre. The rear covered deck is equipped for a crowd, with an outdoor kitchen and a built-in sound system. A rumpus room provides an alternative living area, and the west wing of the house contains three bedrooms.

The main bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and luxury en suite. \ EMMA HOUGHTON

Impressive views across to the Dandenongs are one of the highlights of this five-bedroom house. On an elevated block of more than 1200 square metres, the house is built into the slope over three levels with two front balconies, a rear covered entertainment area and sprawling established backyard. Built by the vendors in the late 1970s, it has comfortably served as a family house that is now ripe for a major renovation or minor updates and refurbishment. The brick-veneer construction with a suspended concrete slab is standing the test of time, and the potential for large families is easy to see. A lower-ground-floor garage can accommodate six cars and has ample storage. The elevated ground floor has one wing with two bedrooms that share a partial en suite. The living areas include a formal lounge and dining space with a wood-burning fire.

Sliding doors access the front balcony/porch, which has great views. Two of the three upstairs bedrooms access the top balcony for the best views. \ EMMA HOUGHTON

EAGLEMONT \ 7 MENZIE GROVE Luxurious single-storey living in a sought-after location is on offer here. This Victorian-style house fits nicely into this period pocket, and its near-symmetrical façade creates pleasing lines throughout.

The high ceilings, cornices and architraves bring period elegance to this contemporary house, where a zoned floor plan with several indoor and outdoor entertainment areas is designed for family life.

A wide arched hall with a striking black and white tessellated-tiled floor that transitions to polished brushbox leads through to a large rear open-plan area, while four carpeted bedrooms line the west side of the house. The large main bedroom, at the front, has a luxurious hotel-style en suite and walk-in wardrobe. The other three bedrooms are off the rear living room. All of them are large, with ample built-in wardrobe space. The main bathroom has a separate powder room and vanity area, great for high traffic in the morning peak hour.

A formal carpeted lounge room with a double-door entry has a gas log fire and discreet built-in cabinetry. A skylit study with a built-in desk is next door. A rumpus provides another living space. It is cosy with dark grey carpet, and kids may try to make this their own.

The large open-plan area has two sets of sliding doors to the wrap-around paved outdoors with pool and spa beyond. \ EMMA HOUGHTON

Dr. Tony Stubbs Eye Surgeon MB BS BSc(Hons)B Med Sc MS FRANZCO Dr. Tony Stubbs, Eye Surgeon, says that just about anyone can have their vision restored and be rid of their glasses for most of the time. And this is without the use of laser surgery.

Dr Stubbs, a visiting specialist at the Royal Victorian Eye & Ear Hospital who has worked with the Fred Hollows eye department at the Prince of Wales Hospital in Sydney, says he began his career through the inspiration of his father, Dr Maxwell Stubbs.

(2hr meter parking out front) Girls always available

A specialist who helps people who have been advised they are unsuitable for laser surgery, Dr Stubbs is also committed to demonstrating that age, corneal distortion or astigmatism are no barriers to eliminating the need for glasses.

“My father was a pioneer in cataract implant surgery from 1963! He has now passed away but some of his patients still come in for a check-up. Not only is this inspirational, it also demonstrates that good surgery outlasts the surgeon,” Dr Stubbs says.

“One of my best moments was treating a 12-year-old girl who was struggling at school because of poor vision due to congenital cataracts even with the use of thick glasses. Now 10 years later, she still has 20/20 vision without glasses. That inspires me.

“Seeing my patients’ bright smiles after surgery, as they stop squinting and can read without glasses, is definitely the best part of my job.”
