雖然貴為影后兼阿姐級演員，不過Julianne永遠不 夠膽在衣着上作新嘗試，今次她選的全黑長裙超簡 約，腰間的巨型煲呔裝飾，大有畫龍點睛的效果， 超出色！
Yet another premiere for The Intern —— this time, London. Although lead actress Anne Hathaway still puts on a mundane all-black evening gown, she retains that elegant glow. Still acceptable.
Given the media obsession with analyzing trendy wives, Amal Clooney's visibility has almost reached the stratospheric level of her celebrated actor/husband, George. This bright green piece energizes Amal, adding to her coolness.
Although she's an award-winning actress, Julianne Moore isn't bold in trying new dress styles. This time, she’s chosen an all-black basic dress with a large bowtie at the waist. Looks fabulous!

A few years ago, after her divorce from Leon Lai (one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Cantopop in Hong Kong), famous model Gaile Lok chose to move her home base to Bali. No longer bound by a tightly packed work schedule, Lok enjoyed leisurely surfs and relaxing yoga sessions. At the same time, she flexed her designer muscles and founded her own jewelry brand, Smokey Roses. Early this year, Lok returned home to Hong Kong with an increased workload. The difference is that, instead of a fast two-hour cover shoot, Lok decided to take her time, inspiring impatient me to accompany her on a beautiful four-hour session.

慢活 Slow
三城記 14歲被發掘當模特兒的Gaile，早早習慣了漂洋過海的生活，比較 香港與峇里島的節奏，她認為最好是兩種兼備，「香港始終是一個大城 市，而峇里島是一個island lifestyle，香港會快速許多，經常有很多節 目、很多瑣碎事要做，於峇里島感覺好chill，可能平日半小時辦妥的事 會用兩小時慢慢完成。」 「如果環境許可，我希望同時擁有這兩種生活節奏，因為時常處於 city life也需要輕鬆一下。」作為半個峇里島人，Gaile推介大家一定要試 試於那裏上瑜伽課，「那裏的yoga跟香港非常不同，首先它是戶外進 行，做yoga時可能會看到蝴蝶飛過，還有聽到風聲，呼吸新鮮空氣，看

不過說到最理想的家，Gaile毫不猶豫地回答，「最喜愛的還是San
Francisco，我在那裏長大，那裏不論是藝術、美食還有文化上的多元 化，都是非常吸引。」
基 兒
A Tale of Three Cities Lok began her modelling career at age 14 and, since then, has got used to a life of travel. Comparing the rhythms of Hong Kong and Bali, she decided she wanted to have the best of both worlds. “Hong Kong is, after all, a big city, while Bali has an island lifestyle, and so Hong Kong is much faster in pace,” Lok says. “There are always lots of activities, lots of detailed things to do. But on Bali Island, you experience that ‘chill’ feeling. Something that may ordinarily be finished in half an hour may take you two hours to do at a relaxed pace. “If the environment permits, I would like to have both of these life rhythms at the same time, because sometimes I really need to relax while immersed in city life.” In Bali, Lok encourages everyone to take a yoga lesson, emphasizing they are different from those in Hong Kong. “First, they are held outdoors, so while you are practising yoga, you can see butterflies flying by, and you can also hear the sound of the wind, breathe in fresh air, watch the sun set. The feeling is completely different.” As for the most ideal place to live, Lok doesn’t hesitate in saying, “My favourite is still San Francisco. I grew up there and find the arts, food and cultural diversity there extremely attractive.”

“I use boxing to work on my abdomen and arms, dancing to train my heart and lungs, and yoga to improve the flexibility of my ligaments. Yesterday, I worked out from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. I like zumba lessons best, because dancing is fun and it is an effortless workout. It doesn’t feel difficult at all.”

Lok recently celebrated her 35th birthday and feels she has changed -on the inside and the outside. “My dress style previously was very sporty and masculine, but still sexy. Before 30, I was in love with rock, so I had ripped T-shirts and all my clothes were black. But I realize the older I get, the more I like colour, even designs that are patterned.” My guess is that the change has less to do with age than with a happier mood.

這趟米蘭時裝周可謂事事順境，一切都在掌握之中，不 單只我順風順水，連首派成績單的Emilio Pucci新設計總監 Massimo Giorgetti及於Gucci獲發第二張成績表的Alessandro Michele也順利過關，他倆擔上新崗位後，均落力擺脫前任的 影子，前者更大膽棄掉品牌經典的腰果花，看得我心裏歡呼大 喊：「有guts！」 今季好像特別多的亞洲女星出席時裝周，有胡杏兒、張栢 芝、陳意涵、天王嫂昆凌等等，剛產子不久的昆凌幾乎所有大 品牌均有出席，筆者更與她同住一間酒店，多次在酒店大堂碰 上，是挺親民的，不過未知是Gucci玩她還是她玩自己，穿上 品牌提供的秋冬灰色套裝出席Gucci show，不論風格、剪裁或 尺碼都好像不太合身－不過，我因此而印象難忘，你問我胡 杏兒、張栢芝、陳意涵穿過甚麼，我已忘得一乾而淨了。 By any measure, things went smoothly at this year’s Milan Fashion Week for Massimo Giorgetti and Alessandro Michele. Giorgetti, Emilio Pucci’s new design director, and Michele, from the house of Gucci, both got favourable report cards. Since assuming their current roles, both had been working hard to emerge from the shadow of their predecessors. Giorgetti was even bold enough to drop Pucci’s emblematic paisley print. What a gutsy move! Milan Fashion Week attracted a number of Asian showbiz celebrities, among them Myolie Wu, Cecilia Cheung, Ivy Chen and Hannah Quinlivan, wife of Jay Chow. Quinlivan graced the shows of most major brands. We stayed in the same hotel and bumped into each other in the lobby a few times. She came across as very personable, yet her chemistry with Gucci wasn’t quite right. The grey suit given to her from Gucci’s Autumn-Winter collection, just wasn’t her. Having said that, she did make an impression on me, much more so than the other actresses. Honestly, I can’t recall what they wore to the shows.
昆凌這套裝的剪裁有點 不妥，只有五呎二吋的 她，似乎駕馭不來。 This suit looks wrong on Hannah Quinlivan and appears to overwhelm her five-foot-two frame.
品牌除了着重場地布置外，邀請卡也很花心 思，Moschino送卡的同時更附上工程帽一 個，此舉已賺了很多IG或FB post！ Moschino’s invitation card stands out as much as the venue design. That it is delivered with a hard hat is already a winner, garnering numerous posts on Instagram and Facebook.

Following the departure of design director Peter Dundas, this designer house turned to a man trained as an accountant, who was also in the music business at one point -- MSGM founder Massimo Giorgetti. Under his direction, one should rightfully expect plenty of surprises, and he doesn’t disappoint us. He plays with the contrast of materials and textures. Pleats and see-through organza are applied throughout the collection. He stopped short at injecting MSGM humour into the brand. At most, he only let in his favourite technique of throwing in patterning. The sea creature decorations do not diminish the feminine elegance. More than halfway through the show, I began to wonder whether he would be retaining the paisley designs. When the show was over, I have my answer -- no sign of even half a paisley and only abstract human forms in floral shape. That’s very gutsy, Massimo. I buy that and so will others.

I picked the latest special edition Seamaster Aqua Terre James Bond. I must have made hundreds of golf swings with the watch on my wrist before remembering I was wearing it. Luckily, aging bones slowed me from hitting as hard as Sergio Garcia or James Bond actor Daniel Craig would have, or else the G-force from the golf swings might have hampered the watch’s precision. I’m happy to report that the watch worked perfectly in the days after the event. Perhaps that’s indicative of how Omega has quietly taken a big leap forward in proofing against G-force, other than magnetism?

Heritage Spirit Perpetual Calendar Sapphire 大家對Montblanc去年推出的一款萬年曆錶記憶猶新，不鏽鋼版破天 荒只售萬五元，玫瑰金版亦只是兩萬多元，超值得令人難以置信。夠驚喜 嗎？大概還未算，因為品牌將於今年W&W中推出Heritage Spirit Perpetual Calendar Sapphire，是該款萬年曆錶的變奏版，依然是玫瑰金錶殼，但 改配淡煙薰色藍寶石水晶透明錶盤，搭載的MB29.15自動機芯結構和萬年 曆系統的運作一覽無遺，售價竟然同樣是兩萬多元，定價的驚喜程度比去 年的玫瑰金版有過之而無不及。腕錶的萬年曆系統在2100年前毋須調校 外，就算因沒動力而停止了，也可透過錶殼側的correctors快速調校各項 功能。此外，品牌現時實施了嚴謹品質測試，只有通過品牌實驗室500小 時品質測試的產品才能推出市場，極有信心保證。 Montblanc created an indelible impression with last year’s Perpetual Calendar, unbelievably priced at very accessible $15,000 for the stainless-steel version and just over $20,000 for the red gold version. More pleasant surprises are in store at this year’s show with the launch of the Heritage Spirit Perpetual Calendar Sapphire. It’s still priced at just over $20,000 for red gold, but has been updated with a transparent smoky sapphire dial to display the MB29.15 automatic mechanism and the perpetual calendar that requires no adjustment before 2100. Even if it runs out of power, it can be quickly readjusted with the correctors on the side of the case. Stringent testing ensures that only the timepieces that excel in the 500 hours of quality-control work in the laboratory will be released.
Piaget
Emperador Coussin XL Lune Astronomique 這次伯爵最新推出的Secrets & Lights - A Mythical Journey by Piaget高級腕錶系列，陣容相當鼎盛，一共有38枚腕錶！這枚畫了 精緻地圖的月相腕錶是當中的一員。錶盤以內填琺瑯、手工雕刻及 微縮琺瑯繪畫出威尼斯與撒馬爾罕美麗國土，6時位置還有一個122 年後才需要調校的巨大月相顯示（直徑達12mm）。玫瑰金錶殼直徑 46.5mm，搭載860P自動機芯，限量8枚。 The “Secrets & Lights - A Mythical Journey by Piaget” Haute Horlogerie collection is extensive, with 38 timepieces in all. The moonphase in the collection features an exquisite world map. The ancient map of Venice and Samarkand is depicted on the dial using the champlevé enamel technique with miniature enamel-painted details. The astronomical moon, with a large aperture of 12 millimetres at 6 o’clock, needs no adjustment for 122 years. Powered by a 860P caliber in a 46.5-millimetre red gold case, the watch is a limited edition of eight pieces only.

Jaeger-Lecoultre Master Ultra Thin Squelette
近年各大品牌都喜歡在錶盤上施展各項人手工藝爭妍鬥麗，積家也 不例外，正確來說，他們是其中一個始作俑者。琺瑯、雕刻、超薄、鏤 通無不是他們長久以來擅長的絕技。即將新鮮出爐的新作Master Ultra Thin Squelette，就集合了以上工藝於一身。腕錶是超薄設計，藍色錶盤 型號的錶殼厚度僅3.6mm，錶匠先在錶殼側精雕細琢，然後以機刻飾紋 點綴錶盤，再塗上琺瑯釉於爐中反複燒製多次才製成。 Watch brands have been vying to show off their craftsmanship with innovative dial designs. Jaeger-LeCoultre is a frontrunner, having proved its superiority in enamelling, engraving, ultra-thinning and skeletonizing. All of these converge in its latest offering, the Master Ultra Thin Squelette. This watch, featuring a blue dial, is just 3.6 millimetres thick. Master craftsmen have etched patterns on the side of the case and hand-engraved patterns with guilloche machines. Then, it’s been hand-painted with enamel multiple times to ensure a perfect finish.
Panerai
Radiomir 1940 3 Days Automatic Titanio - 45mm PAM619 W&W是特別看顧Radiomir 1940的福地，品牌旗下首次配備珍 珠陀的自動機芯P.4000，就選擇去年W&W作為隆重登場的舞台。 今年再下一城，Radiomir 1940系列第一次採用鈦金屬錶殼，45mm 直徑，內藏P.4000三日鏈機芯。錶盤布局和去年的PAM572如出一 轍，小三針設計，但就換上棕色錶盤，復古味散發得淋漓盡致。還 有一點正面看是難以察覺的，因為P.4000機芯換上了袖珍陀，機芯 厚度只有3.95mm，或許錶迷都不在乎這小改變，但手感沒那麼厚 重倒是事實。 The W&W show is perhaps a Mecca for Radiomir 1940. It was last year’s platform to unveil the Radiomir 1940, fitted for the first time with the automatic P.4000 caliber featuring a micro-rotor. This year, it’s the debut of the Radiomir 1940, using titanium for the 45-millimetre case for the first time. It is powered by the P.4000 caliber with three-day power reserve. The dial replicates last year’s PAM572 with a small second hand, but features a brown dial instead to underscore its vintage appeal. The side profile makes it obvious that the P.4000 with the micro-rotor has helped it to slim down to 3.95 millimetres. This may not be a big deal to its fans, but it does feel less chunky.

Van Cleef & Arpels Cadenas
1935年問世的Cadenas腕錶，獨特造型靈感源自溫莎公爵夫人，不同人可能有 不同解讀，可以是手牽手共諧白首，可以是相沫之情深鎖永固，也可以是心有靈犀 兩相通，不論大家如何理解她的含意，反正女士們都會情不自禁喜歡上她的雙圈圓 柱形錶鏈。2015年腕錶將會推出9種全新款式，搭配石英機芯，有純淨的黃金版本， 也有奢華的鑲鑽及密鋪鑲鑽款式，同時配備鏈帶或鱷魚皮帶選擇。 Cadenas, first introduced in 1935, was inspired by the Duchess of Windsor. Some may interpret this as love forever, or the interlocking of emotions or two becoming one. Whichever way one looks at it, it doesn’t change the fact that women can’t help falling in love with its double snake-chain bracelet. The 2015 quartz-powered collection features nine new designs in pure gold, set or paved with diamonds, in bracelet or alligator leather strap.
A. Lange & Sohne 1815 Chronograph
2015年是對於朗格甚至整個德國製錶業都相當 重要的一年，因為今年是鐘錶界巨人F.A. Lange的 200周年誕辰。年中朗格推出了1815黑面賀壽特別 版，接著第二枚曝光的生日禮物就是1815計時錶， 滲入一抹清新藍調，時標和刻度統統換上藍色，和 朗格慣常的黑字黑刻度截然不同。還有一點是別開 生面的，現役1815計時錶一般只設軌道式刻度，新 作卻加入了藍色脈搏計，頓時令腕錶更古意盎然， 致敬意味更突出。 This has been a milestone year for A. Lange & Sohne and, by extension, the entire German watchmaking industry. The brand is marking its 200th anniversary by launching the 1815 black dial anniversary collection, followed up by the 1815 Chronograph. The latter shines with its blue hour index and scale, a refreshing change from the usual black colour for the scale. This one also stands out from other 1815 Chronographs for having a blue pulsometer scale to play up its vintage appeal and pay tribute to its deep heritage.
Vacheron Constantin
Historques Cornes de Vache 1955 腕錶和牛角有甚麼關係？其實牛角是指錶耳的設計。五十年代江 詩丹頓推出了第一枚防水防磁的計時錶，它身上就有一個很特別的牛 角形錶耳，連錶名也稱為Cornes de Vache，即牛角的意思。今次江 詩丹頓將牛角形錶耳重新演繹，圓形計時按鈕、兩圈布局、測速計、 羅馬數字混合條狀小時刻度也是原汁原味。新筆觸的尺碼由35mm變 成38.5mm，是恰當的優雅。新作的兩個小圓盤亦比舊作略為向中央靠 攏，感覺截然不同。錶殼內搭載了具日內瓦印記的1142手上鏈機芯。 When do cowhorns have anything to do with watches? When they are adopted for the lug design. In the 1950s, Vacheron Constantin introduced the first-ever waterproof, anti-magnetic chronograph with unique cowhornshaped lugs -- aptly named Cornes de Vache. The brand has reprised the design, and the latest version is also characterized by the original round chronograph pushers, two scales, tachometer and a mix of Roman numerals with indexes for indicators. The dimension is updated, from 35 to an elegant 38.5 millimetres. The subtle nudging of the two sub-dials closer to the centre also sets it apart. It is powered by hand-winding Caliber 1142 carrying the Hallmark of Geneva.

Roger Dubuis Excalibur Star of Infinity
品牌年初以來的新作都以星際為主題，將橋板打造成星 星形狀，又把錶盤鏤空，示範了精湛的製錶手藝。來到下半場 W&W，星星仍然高掛錶盤之上，而且變得更璀璨耀眼，取而 代之的是一顆鑲滿baguette鑽石的星星，甚至連錶殼、內外錶 圈、錶耳、錶冠及護橋都鑲得滴水不漏。腕錶直徑45mm，搭載 RD01SQ手上鏈機芯，總共鑲有312顆鑽石，共重14.93克拉，份 量十足，差點就搶過雙陀飛輪的風頭。
Richard Mille RM 69 Erotic Tourbillon
I want to caress you madly。如果你想講又不敢講，Richard Mille可以幫到你。它動用了錶盤一半的部分，以3條由鈦金屬製作 的滾柱表達各式各樣的情色字句，按10時位置的按掣，就可按心 意選出你想講又不好意思直接說的情話。錶殼側8時位置有一個按 掣，按下去時分針就會 「被消失」 ，對方就沒有藉口說看不清楚。 手上鏈陀飛輪機芯是跟Renaud & Papi合製，由505塊零件組成， 可儲存接近70小時動力，要將發條鼓和陀飛輪放置在同一條軸線 上，才能將這一切載於42.7mm x 50mm的鈦金殼裡。 If you are too coy to say “I want to caress you madly,” this watch from Richard Mille can help. Three titanium rollers on the top half of the dial put across erotic messages with a pusher at 10 o’clock. Another pusher at 8 o’clock will make the hour and minute hands disappear to make sure the words are highly visible. The handwinding tourbillion movement form of 50-odd parts is a collaboration with Renaud & Papi and it provides nearly 70 hours of power reserve. The mainspring barrel and the tourbillon placed on the same axle result in a compact 42.7x50-millimetre titanium case.

Given that he’s been immersed in men’s fashion over a long period of time, he has witnessed certain classic styles fall by the wayside, giving room for various other trends to mushroom. “This is the golden opportunity for us in men’s fashion, and the gold time for being a man,” Wooster said. “Men’s perception of clothes has been overhauled, compared with 30 years ago. In the old days, if you showed lots of interest in clothes, you had to be gay.” Wooster must have got his fair share of sneering as a homosexual who loved to dress up while growing up in Salina, Kansas. Fortunately, people’s attitudes towards sexual orientation has evolved over time. “Now, different men are showing some level of interest in clothes. They may be

The Wooster + Lardini collection, his collaboration with Lardini, comprises purely and simply “what I want to wear.” The signature patchwork jackets are very Wooster, blending grey blue, khaki green with patterns of checks or herringbone to turn up the style volume of the traditional suit. “The target customers are those in the 35-to-45 range, who care about their look,” he said. But he contradicted himself somewhat when he added: “I don’t think age matters. Hey I’m 55.”
除自家系列之外，他更親手挑選了一堆店內其他品牌的新貨，推介 愛牌Thom Browne、Kolor以及上海品牌Ziggy Chen。 Other than his own collection, he has also personally selected for the store the latest designs of his favourite brands: Thom Browne, Kolor and Shanghai brand Ziggy Chen.
與Lardini合作的Wooster + Lardini系列，一句說穿， 就是「自己想著的衫」。主打的多件patchwork外套充滿 Wooster味道，將灰藍、軍綠、格仔同herringbone等不同 的色調、紋理相拼，比正統西裝多幾分時尚，可穿性甚 高。 「目標客群是三十五至四十五歲注重外表的男人。」 隨 即自打嘴巴表示「不相信年齡這一套，你看我都五十五歲 啦！」所以打扮不在乎年齡，只在乎心態與身形。當聽到 他話鍾意倫敦品牌Craig Green，分明是敢於嘗試的冒險之 士， 「將經典西裝外套與Craig Green的褲裝配襯，效果可 以好出乎意料。」 平時喜著短褲，訪問當日都是以其示眾， 可惜下季的春夏系列才會推出，穿著建議是「一定要襯西 裝褸，否則以為你去沙灘。」
This shows age has nothing to do with looking good, but mentality and body shape do. He is definitely a risk-taker, daring to try anything when he said he likes London brand Craig Green. ”Putting a classic suit jacket on top of Craig Green pants will look extraordinary well.” Wooster was sporting his favourite look – shorts -- for this interview, but we will have to wait for the Spring-Summer collection to see what else he will be wearing. “You must wear this with a suit jacket, or you will look like you’re heading to the beach,” he advised. It may not seem this way in his street snaps, but Wooster is no taller than five-foot-seven. So how does he do it? “Short men like me should wear Thom Browne, Neil Barrett or Japanese

不少人都會喜歡在市郊買入度假屋度過週末假期，不過亦有不少人像鄉舍的屋 主一樣，喜歡長住在市郊以外，享受田園風光。 A lot of people enjoy spending their weekends at cottages, but others are like the owner of this house, who prefer to reside in the country year-round.
The cottage owner frequently has overnight guests, so he double-sized the second floor to accommodate four guest rooms. The cantilevered deck above the pond is everyone’s favourite gathering place. Not only is it a great spot for watching sunsets, but its outdoor kitchen and barbecue grills allow the hosts to create countless delicious outdoor meals.
Highlight: 除了鄉舍內外的時尚元素與田園風光造成別緻的強烈對比之 外，鄉舍的另一焦點當然就是屋外兩個大池塘。設計師在重新建造 鄉舍時，決定保留了兩大池塘內的野生和鄉土植物，而另外在池塘 附近亦加入一個以禪為主題的庭院，並於地面舖上砂礫，為整個重 建項目加入摩登元素之餘亦不忘保留簡樸自然的田園風光。 此外，設計師亦為鄉舍的窗戶花了不少心思。木製的窗戶為設 計增添了田園鄉郊氣息，而且屋內無論任何一扇窗都可以欣賞到池
The second-biggest feature is its custom-designed windows. The designer opted for wooden

超豪fine dining曾經在溫哥華紅極一時，不過這種著重形式而且收費過高的高級料理似乎風 光不再。加上經濟不景氣，而且溫哥華人的「搵食」態度總是「貪新忘舊」，因此水準一般的餐廳 早已被淘汰，只有像Market by Jean-Georges這種優質餐廳才可以屹立不倒。 近來fine dining熱潮似乎有復甦跡象，更以全新姿態吸引食客。菜餚的創作靈感來自世界各 地，當中可找到不少來自太平洋沿岸地區的美食元素，這種跨地域的烹調理念正正展示出溫哥 華的多元文化氣息。食材方面以本地出產及時令的食材為主，為食客帶來最優質的美食體驗。
精選美饌盡在Market by Jean-Georges 座落於香格里拉酒店內的Market by Jean-Georges自2009年1月隨酒店開業以來，一直深受 食客歡迎，其人氣、形象及名聲與日俱增，在溫哥華的飲食業界更是地位超然。 眾所周知，Market背後的靈魂人物是米芝蓮三星大廚Jean-Georges Vongerichten。在 Market的菜單中可找到他最受歡迎的菜餚，菜色採用了卑詩省本土出產的豐盛優質食材，尤其 是太平洋水域的海鮮。富「動感」的烹調特色可說是Jean-Georges個人標記，他於法國學廚，卻 又深受東南亞美食的影響，因此他的美饌糅合了寰宇美食的精髓，卻同時保留了地道特色，完 美地展現了他的烹調哲學“global in reach, local in content”。

Ultra-fine dining had its glory days in Vancouver, but eventually fizzled out. The stiff, traditional and overpriced haute cuisine went out of style. There was also an economic downturn and Vancouverites are known to be fickle in their quest to discover what’s “new” in town when it comes to food. Yet, the best restaurants -- like Market by Jean-Georges -- survived, and now fine dining is making a comeback, this time with a difference. The food being served is now globally inspired and it defines the cultural diversity of Vancouver. It is food that people are comfortable with and it’s focused on local and seasonal ingredients. The influence of Pacific Rim countries is quite noticeable.
Best of the best at Shangri-La’s market by Jean-Georges Market by Jean-Georges in the Shangri-La Hotel has stood the test of time since its opening in January 2009, as part of the hotel’s grand opening. It has retained its popularity, presence, image and prestige, and is an integral part of Vancouver’s culinary scene. It’s common knowledge that the person behind Market is the legendary master chef with threestar Michelin culinary background, Jean-Georges Vongerichten. The menu represents the best of his most popular dishes, highlighting the richness of British Columbia’s local high-quality products, especially the seafood of the Pacific waters. Jean-Georges’s signature “vibrant cuisine” is a reflection of classic French training and years spent in Southeast Asia. His cooking philosophy has always been “global in reach, local in content.”

Ken Nakano -- new chef continus tradition and more EliteGen met up with Ken Nakano, the restaurant’s new executive chef, and asked him whether it’s a challenge to work under a culinary superstar. With confidence, he replied: “Not really. There’s a lot of creativity required, but allegiance and loyalty is always to Jean-Georges. “It is my big chance to work with a famous Michelin-trained chef. It is my opportunity to learn and to grow. We are running the kitchen and Jean-Georges trusts us to look after the operation. That’s why we have to follow his vision and philosophy. Can we do anything we want? The answer is ‘no’, but there is a lot of room to suggest, to create and to show-off new ideas. And he listens.” Nakano is a true Vancouverite -- born, raised and educated there. He grew up in a Japanese household and has lovely memories of home-cooked meals and seasonal food. The love for cooking came early, although male members of his family usually stayed out of the kitchen. That was mom’s territory. To pursue his calling, he studied at the British Columbia Institute of Technology and Vancouver Community College, then worked in leading hotels. He initially thought of cooking as a hobby, but when he started cooking on a bigger scale, he realized that the culinary world was where he wanted to be full time. Nakano honed his skills working in Singapore, on Southeast Asian cruise ships and then the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong. He later returned to Vancouver to work
為了追求自己的理想，他就讀於BCIT和VCC時便開始在知名酒店 工作。他最初以為烹飪只是興趣，但當他愈來愈投入烹調的世界，他 發覺這就是他希望全身投入的行業。

After several years there, he got an important call and job offer that was difficult to turn down – executive chef at the Shangri-La Hotel Vancouver. Nakano is currently preparing Market’s fall menu, guided by JeanGeorges’s signature style -- texture, flavour and colour in perfect harmony. He is also committed to upholding the principles of quality, tradition and innovation, plus the regional elements that define the West Coast’s world cuisine. “It will be fresh, with modern flavours,” he says. “It will be casual food and ingredient-focused. It will be West Coast with Asian influences, but definitely not fusion. “It will be artistic and expect game (rabbit, bison, elk, wild boar), root vegetables and seafood that is sustainable.

度假別墅 vs 度假酒店
Villa Vacation vs Hotel Resorts
加勒比的酒店選擇出名多，由價錢大眾化的以至極盡豪華的都 有，為什麼要選擇租住度假別墅呢?
The Caribbean boasts hotel resorts of varyin price ranges, from family-friendly to ultra-luxury. Why should one choose to rent a villa instead?
住酒店表示你要跟其他住客共用酒店內的設施如泳池、健身室 或酒吧，你唯一的私人空間就只有你的客房。但租住私人度假 別墅的話，整個假期你都可以把別墅私有化，玩得更盡興。
Staying in hotel resorts means sharing amenities with other guests, whether it is the pool, the gym or the bar. Instead of living in just one room on a corridor, you have the luxury of a whole home to yourself for the duration of your holiday when you rent a private villa.
此外，大部分別墅都擁有1至10間客房與及其他空間如客 廳、飯廳、酒吧及廚房，還有室外泳池、按摩浴池及patio等 設施。如果跟朋友及家人一起度假，絕對有足夠空間與大伙 兒同樂，當回到自己的套房時又可以擁有私人空間。而且對 於打算一家大小或幾對情侶/夫婦一同外遊的朋友來說，租住 私人別墅相比起酒店來得更划算。
Most villas range from one to 10 bedrooms, plus additional living space: living and dining rooms, bar and kitchen, as well as outdoor spaces such as swimming pools, jacuzzis and patios. When you are travelling with friends and family, it is easy to balance private time and social time. There is ample common space to enjoy each other’s company, but when it is time to retreat, you can return to your own private suites. Furthermore, renting a villa often proves a better value for travelling families and couples than multiple hotel or resort suites.

Sitting on a private beach, this home is on the edge of the sea and you are just steps away from the warm Caribbean waves. Bask in the sun on the sand, soak in the heated jacuzzi, or spread out on one of the loungers surrounding the large heated infinity-edge pool which flows from a shallow bank to a depth of 10 feet. Le Reve is one of the grandest villas in St. Martin, and with so many amenities, it feels like you are at your own private resort.
當夕陽垂照，不妨在視聽室看齣電影，又或者跟友人來一場桌球友誼賽，切磋 球技。而別墅頂的平台是欣賞日落美景的最佳位置。 In the evening, have a movie night in the media room, or challenge a loved one to a game of billiards. The rooftop terrace is an ideal spot to take in sunsets.

旺季 vs 淡季
High Season vs Low Season
對於北美洲人來說，加勒比是冬季旅遊的熱門目的 地，而旺季跟淡季的價錢可說是差天共地。最抵玩 是4月至11月，因為9月及10月是颶風季節，遊客較 少。旺季則是12月至3月，價錢當然會較高。氣溫方 面，當地全年的溫度差距不大，平均氣溫為27.2 ° C。 一般來說，當地的酒店或度假別墅都要求住客最少 訂7晚，聖誕節及元旦更最少訂14晚。
The Caribbean is a popular winter getaway destination for North Americans, and you can expect to find a big difference between high-season and low-season pricing. You will find the lowest prices between April and November (September and October being hurricane season). December to March is considered high season, with prices to match. Temperature-wise, it remains quite comfortable throughout the year, with an average mean temperature of 27.2 °C.
