序 EDITOR’S NOTE

Inner Peace: An Enchanted Realm 心蓮綻放清風自來

Our emotions may be our own, yet they often flurry about with the winds of external circumstance. But if we take a step back from gains and losses, praise and insults, advancements and setbacks—if we face what life brings with a tranquil heart—then we’ll be a bit closer to experiencing life’s wonders.

As 2018 comes to a close, we at Elite Lifestyle Magazine hope you will appreciate the inner quietude of the individuals featured in this issue. They bring us to an enchanted place, a realm of peace and serenity.

This issue’s cover features Kaidi Wu, a principal dancer with internationally acclaimed Shen Yun Performing Arts. Under the gaze of thousands of audience members, Kaidi maintains a calm, steady heart. She immerses herself in the characters she plays, effortlessly performing challenging dance techniques.

李白詩云，「天清江月白，心靜海鷗知。」無論得與失，榮與辱，進與退，以一顆平靜淡泊的心去對待，人生的曼妙風景就會悄然來到你身邊。本期封面人物吳凱迪，面對雷鳴般的掌聲和萬眾的矚目，從容地投入在舞台表演中，並流暢地完成著高難

Like the surging waters of a majestic river, Shen Yun’s performances wash away the impurities of the dusty world and bring us closer to celestial realms. Behind these sublime performances are artists like Kaidi who are fueled by a sense of mission and duty to revive traditional Chinese culture. Instead of affluence and comfort, they choose an arduous life devoted to the perfection of their art. With smiles on their faces, they courageously face the pain, injuries, and exhausting training that comes with life as professional dancers. No matter what obstacles or what resistance they face, their hearts are steady.

度舞蹈動作。從天幕、音樂、服飾、動作到精采奪目的編舞，吳凱迪所在神韻藝術團的演出，猶如波瀾壯闊的江河，滌蕩著世人心中的塵埃，讓一切歸於純淨。殊勝曼妙的演出背後是神韻藝術家恢復傳統文化的情懷和擔當。為了這份情懷，他們在萬千繁華中，甘於平淡與寂寞，淨心錘鍊著自己的技藝。為了這份擔當，他們在世俗紛擾前，勇於披荊斬棘，平靜笑對挫折與阻力。專訪人物Belinda Leong和Michel Suas在創業伊始，特意選擇在較為安靜的區域開店。然而美食難負，他們的烘培坊依然爆紅，揚聲全美。面對名譽和成功，

When pastry chefs Belinda Leong and Michel Suas opened their new bakery, b. Patisserie, they specifically chose a quieter part of San Francisco. Word of their delightful pastries quickly spread as the bakery’s renown spread far and wide. Despite their stardom and achievements, they stay humble and sincere. In 2018, these pastry chefs were further honored with the James Beard Foundation’s Outstanding Baker award.

多年來他們始終靜心於烘焙，堅守烘焙暖心糕點的初心。寵辱不驚，終得榮華。 2018年，這兩位糕點高手進一步得到了肯定，榮膺有美食奧斯卡之稱的「James Beard Awards」最佳糕點主廚。 2018年末之際，《時尚精英》希冀和您一起領略本期專訪人物心中的那方淨土，他們的理想和信念，伴您一起構築心中的「桃花源」。

Magic Touch for

Textiles The first stateside showroom for Italian fabric house Dedar offers a glimpse into Raffaele and Caterina Fabrizio’s world

aterina and Raffaele Fabrizio have an innate sixth sense about textiles. Just as a mariner might read the almost imperceptible ocean currents or shifting wisps of clouds, the Fabrizios are fluent in the language of fabrics. The Milan-based siblings, co-owners and directors of their family-run company, Dedar, earlier this summer opened their first stateside showroom on the 10th floor of Manhattan’s Decoration and Design Building. The 2,600-square-foot space was inspired by mid-century aesthetics and designed by their friend

如同水手出航前必將熟稔暗潮湧動的情形與觀察天空雲絲變化，才能保證一趟精采而不驚險的旅程；來自Fabrizio家族，自幼都在各色布料中一同成長的 Caterina與Raffaele，將寬廣絢爛的布匹視為波瀾壯闊的海洋世界探險，兩人如今已能與變化萬千的纖維對談，悠遊自在。

and collaborator, the celebrated Florentine architect and designer Michele Bönan. The fabrics, illuminated under beautiful lighting, are clearly the stars of the show. Dedar was founded in 1976 in the Italian silk region of Como, and after Caterina and Raffaele took over from their parents, the fabric house expanded internationally, with clients in 80 countries. In 2011, it launched a partnership with Hermès, producing and distributing home fabrics and wallpapers. The Fabrizios have been living in the tactile world of textiles for much of their lives, thanks to parents who took them on travels through eastern Europe, Turkey, and India, among many places, and collected rugs along the way. Caterina, a vivacious woman blessed with lush, wavy hair, said, “I think we have seen thousands of carpets being opened and closed.” Raffaele remembers “the sensation in Anatolia of looking and choosing those fabrics—the sensation and the smell of the wool.” The old patterns of the Anatolian kilims were a mystery. “It was a kind of language that you cannot read— because it is an old pattern that has meaning in the local culture that we loved, but without understanding the meaning … a hidden language I’d say.” Through their travels, the more they saw, and the more they came to understand what was valuable. “Sometimes you find pieces that are part of a typology of carpets but that are very special, so you

Caterina 與 Raffaele 來自米蘭，其家族共同經營布料品牌 Dedar，該牌於今年夏天首次在美國曼哈頓家居裝飾與設計大廈十樓設置展示區。展示區由他們的共同好友與合作夥伴，同時也是知名佛羅倫斯建築與設計師，Michele Bönan 所操刀，占地 2600 平方英尺的空間，深具中世紀古典美感；布料因燈光照射而耀熠動人，猶如秀場上最攝人心魂的明星。 1976 年，Dedar 從意大利科莫（Como）的製絲區發跡，由 Caterina 與 Raffaele 從家族接手經營後，原本的當地公司已變成國際企業，顧客遍及八十個國家。 2011 年，Dedar 與 Hermès 攜手合作，負責生產與提供家居布料與壁紙。這兩位 Fabrizio 家族菁英的成長過程中，幾乎都在布料纖維的世界中觸碰人生經緯。他們自幼隨同家人走過東歐、土耳其與印度各地，一路蒐集氈毯，開啟了兩人與纖維暢談無阻的契機。擁有濃密波浪秀髮、活力十足的 Caterina 說：「我想我們已經看過數千塊地毯在面前開闔。」Raffaele 則回憶起身處安納托利亞（Anantolia）揀選面料纖維的體會：「充斥著羊毛的感覺與氣味！」以及安納托利亞平織地毯特有古老而神祕的圖騰：「那似乎是種你無法辨識的語言，因為它就像是已然根植於你所愛文化中的符號，但你卻不知道它的意義——我認為這是一種隱形的語言。」足涉千山萬水，目蒐萬物，他們越來越懂得分辨什麼才是真正有價值的事物。Caterina 說：「你有時候會遇見某一種類型的布毯，但這塊毯子卻又顯得不尋常，於是你會明白其背後的匠師擁有獨到的眼光。價值感有時就是透過一些不平凡的情形突然發生，比如你特別屬

understand that the person who was behind it had a very special eye,” Caterina said. “Sometimes something pops up which is quite extraordinary—sometimes it’s an imperfection that makes you connect to the piece, sometimes it’s the fact that it is a little bit not symmetrical, or a little bit off the average.” “Something magical,” added Raffaele. The ease with which they travel through cultures has made them uniquely suited to work with their mostly international clientele (only 20 percent is in Italy), with their different, cherished values: refinement and elegance at a premium with French and Italian clients, and comfort in the United States, according to Caterina. Raffaele is an architect by training, and he joined the family business when he was 29. “I tried to fight my destiny but I lost,” he joked, adding, “I thought there was a good seed that could be grown.” Caterina studied international relations, but when she started supporting her parents when they asked for her help, she became instantly hooked by the possibilities, from both creative and business perspectives. Dedar’s technical expertise is renowned. The textile producing process is highly complex and fragmented, and the company creates its own textiles, working with Como-based experts specialized in different tasks along the way—making for an enriching exchange, Caterina said. Combining beauty and function, their textiles are highly sought after.

It’s something that touches your eyes, and at the same time something that has to do with dreams, with imagination, with the visual memory of patterns. Fabrics activate so many things at the same time.” —Caterina Fabrizio, Dedar

IMAGINATION The gorgeous New York showroom is a window into Dedar’s world. Patterns and colors are a delight for the eyes; the textiles—over 3,000 of them—just beg to be touched. “It’s something that touches your eyes, and at the same time something that has to do with dreams, with imagination, with the visual memory of patterns. Fabrics activate so many things at the same time,” Caterina said. And then, endless possibilities beckon. “You imagine already what you could do with it,” she said. “The way it will be used, and the way you will be in connection with this product that you make. The magical part of the fabric is that it speaks to many senses at the same time, and it also requires you to go into a future imagination.” Asked about her personal favorite textiles, Caterina lit up as she lovingly showed off Romeo & Giuletta, a silk velvet. Velvet is a pillar of Dedar—with about 300 solid colors—made from silk, cotton, mohair, wool, and Trevira. Blending visual elegance, softness, and durability, the collection is continuously updated. The sheen of Romeo & Giuletta is delicate but rich, with beautiful reflections; and the texture, soft to the touch, is a dream. “Because silk takes color in a way that no other fabric can, it’s very vibrant,” Caterina said. “And with silk, the colors can be very bold and they still remain very refined.” In her mind’s eye, she sees its possibilities: “I see wonderful upholstery and pillows … and I like to touch it, but it is actually a beautiful velvet to be used for draping.” Dedar’s first velvet is a cotton velvet named Adamo & Eva, “the beginning of all velvets,” said Caterina, which has been used by the Queen of England and Tiffany. “But if your heart is romantic, you want Romeo & Giuletta.” As for Raffaele, one of his favorites is an abstract floral pattern called Dalie Papaveri Tulipani. The inspiration is the reverse side of a jacquard fabric—it has no function, the yarns are loose, it looks nice, and

意某塊面料的不完美；有時其實是不對稱或是不一般的面料，讓你對它有所連結。」Raffaele 補充：「情況往往妙不可言。」 Caterina 與 Raffaele 能輕易在各種文化間遊走的優勢，使得他們身處美國卻能與各國客戶保持良好關係（意大利客戶僅占 20%），尤其懂得尊重法國與意大利客戶對於上等品質的精練與典雅近乎苛求的品味。 Raffaele 本身是位專業建築師，卻在 29 歲時走入家族生意。對此，他幽自己一默：「我嘗試對抗命運，但失敗了。」又說：「但我想這也許是一顆等待萌芽的好機緣。」Caterina 的專業是國際關係，當時家人詢問她協助家族生意的意願時，她便深受 Dedar 的創意與商業視野所營造的未來性吸引。Dedar 的技藝精湛，在業界頗具知名度。只是織品製作過程相當複雜且瑣碎，因此公司又與科莫當地嫻熟不同技法的匠人合作，既生產自家作品，亦增進技術交流。因此舉凡 Dedar 出品，兼具美觀與實用性，備受追捧。想像力遊走絲線經緯想親自體驗Dedar迷人風采，當然得到紐約展間一窺究竟。各式圖紋與色澤讓人一飽眼福，超過三千種的面料正等待您一親芳澤。 Caterina 說：「當你乍見這些面料，腦海中對於紋樣的記憶將會立即帶給您如夢似幻的感受；這些纖維材料能夠同時活化許多事物。」並且有無限「可能性」向你招手。她說：「你已經能想像將用這些面料做什麼、可以怎麼製作、將如何與成品產生聯繫。纖維的神奇之處在於它能同時與多種感官交談，但這也會需要你願意走入對於未來的想像。」問及 Caterina 個人最喜歡的織品，她容光煥發、充滿憐惜地向我們介紹一款絲絨 ——Romeo & Giuletta。絲絨是 Dedar 的要角，超過三百種純色任君挑選，材質從絲、棉、馬海毛、羊毛、聚酯纖維，色色齊全。為了兼顧視覺美感、柔適性與耐用度，Dedar 持續技術升級。Romeo & Giuletta 的光澤別緻而豐富，具有美麗的反射光與觸感柔軟的質地，如夢幻一般。 Caterina 說：「絲緞具有其他纖維所不能及的閃耀光澤感，而且絲製品的持色度很好，歷久彌新。」她從 Romeo & Giuletta 發現了其他可能：「我看到了完美的家飾表布與抱枕，我很想摸摸它們，但這塊美麗的絲絨還是適合立體裁剪。」 Adamo & Eva 是 Dedar 的第一款絲絨織品，曾為英國女王伊麗莎白二世與珠寶品牌蒂芬尼選用。

yet you never see it, Raffaele said. Its slightly ragged appearance may evoke old memories, “something that was there before.”

Caterina 說：「這是一切絲絨的起點。但如果你是個內心浪漫的人，你仍會想要 Romeo & Giuletta。」於 Raffaele 而言，他最喜歡的面料是有著抽象花

FUTURE AND PAST Dedar is evolving while keeping its roots alive. “There is always something to be discovered, and this is what keeps us going forward doing new things … There are no mistakes at the base,” Raffaele said. “Maybe there are successful products or unsuccessful products, but no mistakes.” Similarly, inspiration for many of their fabrics sometimes comes from the past with a look toward the future, like how a tiger design from ancient Tibetan rugs inspired a contemporary version on opulent velvet. The Fabrizios’ sense of humor comes through too, as with a Tie Break collection of fabrics inspired by men’s ties. Still, the pace of production nowhere nears that for fashion. “What is wonderful in textiles for interiors is that they don’t need to change that often,” Caterina said. “A fabric may take a year, two years, to become a product because of the creativity of the study, the technical aspect takes time, but then the fabric can last maybe 10 years, maybe 20 years in the collection.” “It’s timeless, what we do.”

花面料的反面繡紋——缺乏實質作用、脫落的紗線，卻有獨特的美感，最重要的是聞所未聞。Raffaele 說面料上些微殘缺的外觀反而喚起了古老的回憶：「有些事物曾經在那裡。」未來與過去相錯成文在前進的同時，Dedar依然延續品牌的根本精神。 Raffaele說：「總是有新東西亟待挖掘，這是促使品牌製作新產品的動力。但是最開始的基礎並沒有錯誤，有些結果成功，有些結果失敗，但不是錯。」 Dedar 帶著前瞻的眼光，從過去汲取靈感應用在布料上，例如西藏旗幟上的老虎圖騰啟發了具有當代感的奢華絲絨設計。Dedar 的設計幽默有時也悄然流露，如 Tie Break 系列的圖紋發想便是來自紳士領帶。雖然勇往直前，但是 Dedar 的生產步伐並不盲目從俗。Caterina 說：「室內織品有一大好處，就是不需要時常更換。布料纖維有時得歷經一、兩年才能成為一件產品，因為研究織布的巧思、技術層面的配合都需要時間，但在這之後，一個系列的布料能流行十年甚至二十年之久。我們目的在於製造恆久。」

In Praise of Painting DUTCH MASTERS IN A NEW LIGHT 繪「話」大師大都會博物館荷蘭黃金時代名作展 English text by Eva Pomice Chinese text by Fenzhi Zhang Pictures courtesy of The Metropolitan Museum of Art

he mirror is an apt metaphor for paintings by Dutch masters. These works reach across centuries to transfix contemporary viewers with their luminous surfaces and lifelike details. They reflect quotidian experience, the virtues of domestic life, and local landscapes. But the precise re-creation of detail in Dutch painting is at the same time a mastery of illusion, and that duality continues to fascinate viewers. Mirrors, after all, both ref lect and alter. Jewel-like still life paintings that faithfully capture each flower petal and fold of velvet carry warnings of rot in a curled lemon slice. Boisterous family scenes that display familiar affection and mischief are as staged as a Shakespearean play, and as encoded with moral messages. “By illuminating an interior world as much as illustrating an exterior one, [Dutch art] … moves back and forth between morals and matter, between the durable and the ephemeral, the concrete and the imaginary, in a way that was peculiarly Netherlandish,” writes historian Simon Schama in his book Embarrassment of Riches: An interpretation of Dutch Culture in the Golden Age. The exhibition In Praise of Painting: Dutch Masterpieces at the Met showcases some of the museum’s most revered paintings of the Golden Age while challenging assumptions about the canon. “I wanted to have a blend of very iconic, and beloved paintings, like the Vermeers, and the paintings that had long been in storage and would surprise even regular visitors,” says

時光倒退至17世紀，荷蘭隨著海權擴張，商船遍布全球，阿姆斯特丹港成為當時的世界貿易中心。無論在軍事、科學發明和貿易上，荷蘭都處於世界領導地位。對荷蘭來說，這個世紀是充滿光輝與榮耀的黃金時代。荷蘭黃金時代的藝術發展達到巔峰，不少美術學院紛紛成立，出現肖像畫、風景畫、靜物畫以及社會風俗畫等多種主題的畫作，同時，一群才華洋溢的繪畫藝術家也在此時期湧現，他們在藝術上的成就對後世影響巨大，為整個荷蘭黃金時代寫下完美一頁。 2018 年 10 月 16 日至 2020 年 10 月 4 日，紐約大都會博物館開啟「繪畫禮讚——荷蘭黃金時代名作展（In Praise of Painting: Dutch Masterpieces at the Met）」。十七世紀的荷蘭繪畫收藏是大都市博物館的瑰寶，也是世界上最有價值的收藏之一。實際上，大都會博物館成立伊始，荷蘭繪畫作品就頗受重視，亦得到慷慨捐贈者的諸多支持。這次展出的作品主要來自於本傑明．奧特曼的遺贈（Benjamin Altman's bequest），羅伯特．雷曼的捐贈收藏（the Robert Lehman Collection）和林斯基夫婦贈予大都會博物館的收藏（the Jack and Belle Linsky Collection）。共計 67 幅大師作品在此次展覽展出。這些大師包括倫勃朗（Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn，又譯作林布蘭）、約翰．維米爾（Johannes Vermeer，又譯作佛美爾、維梅爾）以及弗蘭斯．哈爾斯（Frans Hals）等。這次展覽名稱取自荷蘭藝術家飛利浦．安吉（Philips Angel II）所著的藝術理論書作《繪畫禮讚》（In Praise of Painting）。該書出版於 1642 年，討論了繪畫藝術的歷史、價值和技法等，是 17 世紀荷蘭藝術的重要研究資料，書中點評了部分大師畫作，如倫勃朗。

Adam Eaker, Assistant Curator of European Paintings at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. “The show emphasizes cultural and historical context. It juxtaposes celebrated realist paintings with lesser-known idealizing or classical works.” The title of the show is taken from a 1642 treatise by Philip Angel, which celebrates painting’s ability to realistically transcribe nature. The presentation’s 67 works, all from the Met’s permanent collection, are arranged thematically, addressing such concerns as religion, the domestic lives of women, consumer culture, and the influence of Rembrandt’s work on his peers and students. It upends visitors’ preconceptions about the period, demonstrating that naturalism in painting coexisted with classicism and romanticism, and explores various artists’ approaches to the human form.

倫勃朗是歐洲藝術史上最重要的畫家之一，亦被稱為荷蘭歷史上最偉大的畫家，聞名於描繪光線和影、捕捉人物表情及表現歷史和宗教故事。他繪畫天賦極高，年少成名，卻半生潦倒。倫勃朗的《亞里士多德與荷馬半身像》（Aristotle with a Bust of Homer, 1653）是這次展覽的重要作品之一。這幅作品是倫勃朗在 1653 年為客人 —— 意大利貴族安東尼奧．魯弗（Antonio Ruffo）——繪製，安東尼奧．魯弗希望收集一系列古代傑出人物的理想化肖像。這幅油畫作品表現了他對大哲學家亞里士多德一種理想化的詮釋，在畫作中，亞里士多德的右手輕輕按在古希臘著名詩人荷馬的胸像上，荷馬失明的眼眶中放射出穿透黑暗的目光，一縷暖光照在荷馬的頭上，也反射在亞里士多德的臉上，而哲學家的眼神，與其說在凝視，不如說在神思。這讓觀賞者在欣賞作品時會自然而然的融入哲學家的思考之中。此外，倫勃朗晚年自畫像也是本次展覽的另一重點。倫勃朗一生繪製了 100 多幅的自畫像，如同一部獨

The show opens with a work by Rembrandt van Rijn, regarded as the greatest artist of the Dutch Golden Age. In Aristotle with a Bust of Homer (1653), the artist contemplates the fleeting quality of fame. The painting depicts the philosopher dressed in luxurious contemporary clothing and a shimmering gold medallion with the portrait of his patron Alexander the Great. Standing in darkness, his face and robes are illuminated in golden light, his gaze ruminative, as he rests a hand on the head of the poet. Works by Dutch masters have a long history at the museum. “In the late 19th century, when the Met was founded, Dutch painting enjoyed immense cultural prestige,” Eaker says. “The Met’s early donors also felt connected to the history of New York, which was founded as a Dutch colony in the 17th century.” On display are paintings mainly from Benjamin Altman’s bequest, the Robert Lehman Collection, and the Jack and Belle Linsky Collection. The exhibition’s thematic arrangement seems to urge us to draw parallels between the world of 17thcentury Holland and our own. “I haven’t made those connections explicit, but I do think there’s a lot in common between our society and the Dutch Golden Age,” Eaker says. “I do hope that visitors will find these works relevant to their own lives in the present day.” The Golden Era spanned the 17th century when the Netherlands had achieved independence from Spain and controlled a maritime global empire, dominating over half of European trade and monopolizing trade with Asia. It was a literate, religiously tolerant and diverse society, experiencing rapid urbanization, due in large part to foreign and domestic immigration. Social status was based on income rather than birth. What some experts consider one of the world’s first modern economies created a booming market for luxury goods, and that wealth is recorded in the luminous paintings of the period. This artistic blossoming took place in the wake of the Protestant Reformation, and a number of works reflect that transition. In Emanuel de Witte’s Interior of the Oude Kerk, Delft (probably 1650), the church is depicted as a social meeting place: Children play on the base of a column, and a dog urinates on a column. There is no pulpit and the walls are whitewashed, in obedience to a ban on religious images in churches and Calvinist notions of simplicity. But in this playful

一無二的自傳，畫家的自我審視真誠而不矯飾。本次展出的《自畫像》（Self-Portrait, 1660），創作於畫家 54 歲時，筆觸豪放概括，形象生動細膩，真實地表現了他歷經破產、喪妻、喪子等人生悲歡離合之後滄桑衰老的面容。大都會博物館歐洲繪畫助理策展人暨本次展覽策展人亞當．艾科（Adam Eaker）說，17 世紀的荷蘭和我們當今所處的社會有很多相似之處，希望此次展覽能夠讓人們睹畫思今。當時的荷蘭主導了半個歐洲的貿易，國內和國際間人口的流動讓荷蘭社會歷經了急劇的城市化變革。社會階層由「生而為貴」轉化為「富則為貴」。當下人們的日常生活被畫家用畫筆生動地記錄到了畫作中，也就是風俗畫。約翰．維米爾是當時最優秀的風俗畫家之一。他對畫面細節的處理與眾不同，其靜態的構圖、簡潔的造型、明晰的空間、優美的色調、勻淨的光線，讓畫中荷蘭人的世俗生活變得美麗、富於詩意。其著名畫作《持水罐的女人》（Young Woman with a Water Pitcher,

scene, there is also evidence of a fresh tomb: a stern reminder of mortality. At a time of social mobility, portraits featured members of the mercantile class and are embedded with clues to status. In The Van Moerkerken Family (1653– 54), Gerard ter Borch the Younger tenderly depicts a father, mother, and small son, the parents dressed in elegant black clothing from previous Spanish rule. The wife is positioned on the left, underscoring her status as the mother of a male heir. The husband holds a gleaming pocket watch, simultaneously a symbol of wealth and status as well as a warning of mortality.

The dramatic work naturalistically depicts the Dutch countryside, yet there is majesty in the image that suggests providence at work. Frans Post’s A Brazilian Landscape (1650) reveals a nostalgia for colonial power and a darker side of the Dutch narrative. Women as subjects and artists are featured prominently in the exhibition. The newly restored A Vase of Flowers (1716) by Margareta Haverman is one of two known works by the artist in existence. The lush painting is of an opulent bouquet of tulips, calendula, poppies, and other flowers that could not possibly bloom in the same season. Insects rendered in minute

紀的風景畫掀開了西方風景畫創作的嶄新一頁。風景畫代表人物雅各布．凡．雷斯達爾（Jacob van Ruisdael ）擅長畫視野開闊的風景，在他的風景畫中，我們能夠感到大自然的興衰和勃勃生機，感受到光、雲和空氣的流動。在本次展出的《麥田》（Wheat Fields, 1670）中，雷斯達爾以全景的方式呈現了荷蘭的鄉村風情，運用寫實的筆法和細緻的筆觸，畫家展現出一幅似乎可以讓觀者在其中走動、呼吸的自然風光。這次展覽中的另一亮點是女畫家瑪格麗特．海爾曼（Margaretha Haverman）的名作《一瓶鮮花》（A Vase of Flowers, 1716）。這是現世已知僅存的兩幅海爾曼畫作之一，也是大都會博物館中唯一一幅來自 17 世紀女性畫家的藏品，極為珍貴。在這幅畫上，鬱金香、金盞花、罌粟花等各種花朵組成了一束鬱鬱蔥蔥、顏色豔麗的花束（實際上這些花的花期不同，並不可

detail crawl up stems and petals. Haverman was innovative in her use of Prussian blue and Naples yellow, pigments new to artists in the Netherlands at the time. Johannes Vermeer’s iconic Young Woman with a Water Pitcher (1662) was the artist’s first to enter an American public collection. The image is one of serene stillness and harmony: A woman in a blue dress and white headpiece rests one hand on an open window, light falling on her forearm, and holds a pitcher with the other. The gold-plated pitcher and basin and Persian carpet suggest prosperity. The viewer glimpses the sanctity of a private moment, intimate but distant. When confronted with domestic disorder, the Dutch still use the proverb “as messy as a Steen painting.” Jan Steen’s The Dissolute Household 1663–64) comically depicts family members engaging in a litany of moral transgressions: mischievous boys torment a sleeping woman, a husband flirts with the maid, a Bible is trampled underfoot. Hanging overhead, a basket of sticks and a plague rattle warn of a dire fate to come. One of the presentation’s high points is Rembrandt’s Self-Portrait from 1660, restored for the exhibition. The removal of layers of synthetic varnish applied in the 1950s reveals the subtlety of his colors and the vigor of his brush strokes. He was 54 at the time it was painted, and his straightforward gaze and face scored with lines convey the mastery of the artist, as well as some of the woes he had experienced at this point in his life: bankruptcy and the loss of both a wife and son. Paintings came out of storage for the exhibition, including Apollo and Aurora (1671) by Gerard de Lairesse. Perhaps stung by Rembrandt’s portrait of him, showing his features ravaged by syphilis, de Lairesse became a fierce opponent of his rival’s uncompromising realism. His sumptuous depiction of deities with youthful features reflects classical ideals of beauty, sharply diverging from the naturalistic style we now associate with Dutch painting. With their surface richness and encoded messages, these works present a complex and nuanced narrative of the Dutch artistic tradition, and the diverse and dynamic culture they arose from. Says Eaker:

Ethereal Grace Shen Yun Principal Dancer Kaidi Wu

心舞合一淨思純念美自現 ——專訪神韻領舞演員吳凱迪 English text by Irene Luo｜ Chinese text by Astrid Wang Photography by Larry Dai

n a bustling restaurant of excited chatter and shouting toddlers, Kaidi Wu is the opposite of her surroundings. Her voice is like a spring breeze— gentle and slow, serene and unhurried. She seems to emerge from a different world, a realm of tranquility and grace. Kaidi first saw Shen Yun Performing Arts after she had immigrated from China to Toronto, Canada. Like many in the audience, she thought to herself, “Oh, how I wish I could become one of them!” Now, Kaidi is a principal dancer with the performing arts company that inspired her dream, and she has come to embody the ethereal beauty that had mesmerized her when she first saw Shen Yun.

一個陽光和煦、清風微拂的午後，吳凱迪如約而來，只見這位走遍世界頂級舞臺的中國古典舞演員，換下亮麗的戲服後衣著樸素，但氣質出眾。她的目光柔和，聲音輕柔，語調和緩，直似中國古代女子的謙柔形象，予人一種恬淡、真誠有禮的感受，讓人想靜靜欣賞。吳凱迪出生於中國河北，幼年時移民至加拿大多倫多，2008年考入美國紐約「飛天藝術學院」修習正統中國古典舞。自幼醉心於中國古典文化的吳凱迪，從一位單純喜愛舞蹈的青澀女孩成為蜚聲國際的神韻藝術團—— 全球頂級中國古典舞與傳統音樂藝術團——領舞演員。 Right page: Both onstage and off, Kaidi Wu seeks to embody the virtues she presents on stage, like kindness, courage, and selflessness.

INNER BEAUTY Dressed in a flowing white gown adorned with yellow and blue, Kaidi flurries a pink silk cloth and floats across the stage as if carried by a cloud in New Tang Dynasty (NTD) Television’s 2012 International Classical Chinese Dance Competition. There’s a twinkle in her eyes, a smile on her lips. Immersed in Kaidi’s self-choreographed piece, audiences can almost see the rippling waters in a turquoise lake, feel the gentle breeze of a balmy morning, and hear the chirping swallows in a secluded valley. How does a dancer capture such beauty, we wonder. “This kind of beauty should be the natural reflection of your inner self,” Kaidi tells us. It’s not about outward appearances, but instead about the channeling of inner virtues. Thus, classical Chinese dance cannot be separated from the cultivation of a kind and virtuous character. This past September, in NTD Television’s recent competition, Kaidi chose to perform the role of Wang Baochuan. From an aristocratic family, Wang Baochuan had fallen in love with the commoner Xue Rengui because he was a kind man of excellent character. After they married, he rose up the ranks to become a Tang Dynasty general and was away on the battlefield for many years. Living alone in a crude cave dwelling, Wang Baochuan “had to overcome all kinds of hardships. But she was not fearful, and she simply persisted in waiting,” Kaidi says. Eighteen years later, she was finally rewarded when she reunited with her beloved husband, who had returned triumphantly from the battlefield. Kaidi says that in Wang Baochuan, she saw loyalty, perseverance, and selflessness—all characteristics she admires. As part of Shen Yun Performing Arts, Kaidi is not only reviving traditional Chinese dance but also showcasing the values of the ancients. Back then, the paragon of a Chinese woman epitomized refinement, grace, and virtue, things swept under by the tides of modernity.

無論是飄逸靈秀的長袖仙子，或氣質秀雅的大唐仕女，抑或是活潑俏麗的苗族少女，她皆能游刃有餘地生動詮釋，帶給觀眾情溢乎詞的美好體驗。曼妙優雅動靜咸宜訪談中，吳凱迪憶起這些年演出的劇目，她不時佐以手勢來解釋舞蹈中的意境，那纖柔的手指搭配動作線條，彷彿連周遭的空氣也饒富韻味。 2012年，吳凱迪參加了新唐人電視台第五屆「全世界中國古典舞大賽」，並榮獲少年女子組銀獎。她在參賽曲目《輕紗曼舞》中，舞步輕柔如踏雲霓，手舞薄紗若綿綿細水，眼帶一抹淡雅微笑。人們沉浸在其曼妙舞姿中，彷彿能見一汪碧水上的漣漪，感到晨間徐風拂面，側聞幽谷中的鶯燕輕鳴。「動中有靜」，在疏密相間的舞步中，她成功舞出一幅悠然恬靜畫面，盡現傳統東方女性的溫柔慧秀之美。我們問：妳是如何達到那種美？她回道：「這種美，應是內心自然的流露。」吳凱迪表示，她性格本較柔，因此演繹較為優美的曲目時，她感到格外舒心。隨其日益成熟的心境，她越發能體會東方女性之所以能體現柔美的氣韻，是源自內在的賢良淑德。今秋九月，吳凱迪亦出賽第八屆古典舞大賽，演出舞劇《寒窯》。民間傳說中，唐朝大將薛仁貴，長年在外領兵打仗，其妻王寶釧在簡陋的窯洞苦守十八年，靜待丈夫歸來。「她要克服種種困難，但是她不畏懼，就是堅持等下去。」吳凱迪認為，王寶釧的故事正體現了中華傳統女性的忠貞、堅忍、無私等美德。吳凱迪擔綱領舞的神韻藝術團，旨在恢復與弘揚中國傳統文化藝術。可以說，神韻賦予了她舒展傳統東方女性之美的舞臺，她和同團的舞蹈演員一同藉此舞臺，向世人展現純正的中華文化內涵。誠如觀看過神韻演出的觀眾評價，神韻展現了何謂真正的女性之美，告訴大家「中國女人本應有的模樣——溫柔、柔和、美麗、沒有野心、令人愉悅。」修習心性純淨內心談起舞蹈學習面臨的考驗，吳凱迪說老師曾指出她表現得不夠穩，她形容：「就是氣浮著、不夠穩，不夠像個大演員一樣。」她進一步坦露自己以往的心理素質不夠穩健，較易緊張。後來她認真反省，一步步地修正，果然漸入佳境。

2018/11/4 下午1:31

A TRANQUIL MIND When speaking about the challenges of learning classical Chinese dance, Kaidi reveals that her biggest challenge was mental, not physical. A teacher once told her that she was not steady enough as a dancer, as if holding her breath on the surface. She was like a leaf that drifted about at the whims of the breeze. “I easily became nervous,” Kaidi says. Over time, she realized the source of the problem. “I worried about how others would view me. If I thought about myself, I would become more nervous.” She thus had to learn to calm her mind and dispel the insecurities that distracted her. For Kaidi, handkerchief dances have always been especially challenging. One of the most impressive parts of the dance is when a dancer twirls her handkerchief into the air, performs a front aerial, and then successfully catches the handkerchief before it falls to the ground. As she worried about potentially failing to catch the handkerchief, she would do poorly. “When we perform, we shouldn’t think about ourselves. Just think about what you should do with a steady, unwavering heart,” Kaidi says. Beginning in 2012, Kaidi was given lead roles in dances in Shen Yun’s world tours. Her new roles brought on more responsibility, and it became more important for her to maintain a steady mindset. “You can’t stand out by yourself,” Kaidi says. Instead, she strives to assimilate to the larger body, to perfect the performance as a whole. “We are all doing the same thing. One person’s strength cannot match what the group has as a whole,” Kaidi says. Over time, she learned to focus less on herself and to adapt to those around her, putting their needs above her own. Only then could her performances truly move audiences.

我們好奇她是如何克服這種心理狀態？她說：「有時候比較緊張是因為擔心別人怎麼看我，想自己的時候就會比較緊張。其實放下自己後，去做好該做的，就不會感覺緊張，也會跳得比較好。」這份體悟也體現在表演中，她分享了演出神韻《手絹舞》的考驗。該舞蹈的精采看點是先將手絹旋轉拋上空後，再「前挺」（騰空翻躍技巧）將手絹接回，此舞技每每迎來滿堂喝彩。在無數次的練習過程中，她有個深刻感觸：「我們表演時，不要去想自己，你就想你該做的，抱著一個平平穩穩的心去做。」擔心自己的表現好壞會影響正常發揮，若能將「自我」拋諸在後，自然水到渠成。 2012年吳凱迪便開始擔綱神韻領舞，如今已有6年的經驗。演出中除了群體舞蹈，領舞還須負責一些特殊舞段，此外，演出舞劇時若擔任要角，則需時刻留心與其他角色之間的配合。她強調：「一定要跟大家感覺是在一起的，不能把自己擺出來，而是要將自己擺在其中。」「因為我們做的是同一件事，一個人的力量比不了大家整體加在一起，大家都要放下一些個人的東西。」吳凱迪深信並如此實踐著。如今她謙和、成熟而穩重，待在神韻多年，她感覺自己提高最多的不僅是日益精進的舞藝，更重要的是心性的修習，純淨了她的內心。心繫使命傳遞真相除了唯美優雅的舞蹈以及再現傳統美德，吳凱迪也曾詮釋令人敬佩的現代角色。 2017年的神韻巡演劇目《善與惡》，她飾演一位孤兒，多年後才發現當年失去父母的真相：父母因修煉法輪大法而遭受中國共產黨的迫害。劇中，女孩在隨時可能遭受迫害的環境下，仍毅然追尋雙親足跡走入信仰，堅守她心中的正確價值。劇末，她堅定地拉起寫著「真、善、忍」的橫幅，那份堅忍與無畏強權的表現，使觀眾潸然淚下。這樣的劇情並非單純的「創作」，而是正在中國發生的真實故事。法輪大法是以「真、善、忍」為原則的修煉大法，在中國曾有上億人學煉。孰料1999年後風雲變色，中國共產黨下令鎮壓法輪功，開啟一場長達19年的迫害，至今仍未結束。

FULFILLING HER PURPOSE As a dancer, Kaidi evokes not only the grace of celestial fairies and imperial palace maidens but also the dignity of modern-day heroes. In Shen Yun’s 2017 world tour, in the piece titled “A Child’s Choice,” she played an orphaned girl who later discovers the truth behind her parents’ deaths.

「在演的時候會想到他們又堅強但又要忍，可是在那種痛苦的情況下，就得堅定信念，要把那些融在一起，然後把自己放在那個角色裡。」吳凱迪訴說著揣摩角色的心境。在《善與惡》的演出中，她感到自己真的成為那位女孩，每一手勢與眼神皆真摯而傳神，細膩地舞出其心境的轉變。其實在現實中，她也曾有過類似遭遇。吳凱迪當年在中國家鄉時，因家人修煉法輪大法，姥姥家曾被抄過。此外，她在校就讀期間老師不讓她參加期末考試，使她被迫留級，她也曾莫名被同學以水瓶攻擊頭部，當時的她很是困惑。 │39

Dafa once had an estimated 100 million adherents in China. But in 1999, the Chinese Communist Party ordered a nationwide persecution, beginning 19 years of brutality and inhumanity that continue to this day. Instead of succumbing to the pressure of the persecution, Kaidi’s character continues her parents’ legacy, standing up for what is right. At the end of the piece, she resolutely unfurls a banner with the Chinese characters for truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance— the central tenets of Falun Dafa. Her determination and fearlessness move audiences to tears. Growing up in a family of Falun Dafa practitioners, Kaidi had personally experienced the far-reaching claws of the Chinese Communist Party’s persecution. When she was living in China with her grandparents (her parents had immigrated to Canada first), their home was raided by police because they practiced Falun Dafa. At elementary school, Kaidi was discriminated against, forcibly held back one year, and sometimes bullied by her classmates, who once hit her with a water bottle. At the time, young Kaidi was simply bewildered. It wasn’t until she was about to leave China that she came to realize she had been treated unfairly because of her family’s faith. Kaidi speaks of these past circumstances lightly, and she laughs as she recalls how clueless she was back then. Although her own suffering was relatively minor, she feels for her fellow Falun Dafa practitioners in China who have lost their freedoms, their careers, and even their lives as a result of the persecution. She thus cherishes opportunities to portray these stories on stage. “Many people say they cannot believe this is happening in China. Many people also say they were moved to tears,” Kaidi says. At these moments, she feels in her heart, “We didn’t do this for nothing. Everything we do is worth it.” As our interview concluded, we set off for a photo shoot in a nearby park. At our last stop on the sandy beach of a lake, we asked Kaidi to perform a few dance poses and leaps. She found a nearby wooden pole to lean on as she stretched, and she pressed on it two or three times to check its sturdiness. In the next second,

she had kicked her leg effortlessly behind her head to form a straight line pointing to the heavens. As she took off her sneakers for the photo shoot, we saw that her toes and heels were covered in scars, the battle wounds of a professional dancer. But she seemed not to notice the existence of these wounds. Wearing an unadorned black shirt, she leapt into the air with the brilliant colors of sunset as her backdrop, blossoming in time that seemed to stop. Her silhouette was like an imprint of her many years on stage, a decade of stirring splendor. Through it all, we see the warm smile on her face, gentle and sincere, accompanied by the radiant hues of twilight. 吳凱迪輕輕地談起這些往事，沒有情緒波動，她只笑說自己當年傻呼呼的，全然沒發覺背後因由。直到出國前，她才知道這些不公的待遇，僅因家人堅持自己的信仰。能有機會在神韻的舞臺上親自演出與迫害法輪大法相關的劇目，於她而言意義非凡。「很多人會說，不敢相信這些竟然在中國發生，很多人也說到他們感動得流淚⋯⋯」吳凱迪轉述她曾聽聞的觀眾反饋，那一刻她心想：「我們做的一切都是值得的！」採訪結束當天還安排了拍攝行程，最後的拍攝地是在湖邊的沙岸。到達後目的後，吳凱迪在附近的木桿旁熱身，她試了試那木桿是否夠堅固，用力地壓了兩到三下，下一秒便把腿往後一踢，雙腿成一字型，看似毫不費力。她脫下鞋後，腳趾、腳背上有無數的傷疤，湊近一看都替她覺得疼，但她似乎感覺不到這些傷口的存在。她身著樸素輕便的黑衣在沙岸凌空而躍，在恍若靜止的時間裡綻放。那綽約的舞姿在夕陽下的剪影，彷如她十年來在舞臺上的縮影，是歲月的積澱，更是一種使命的兌現。雖然逆著光，但仍能清晰瞥見她掛在臉上的笑靨，那是心繫觀眾的真摯神情，伴著溫黃的落日餘暉，顯得格外動人。

1. NATURAL BASE

First, moisturize and exfoliate your face properly. Then, apply a light and airy liquid foundation to create a porcelain-looking base, followed with a matte finish foundation. 底妝：妝前認真做好保溼的保養，直接擦輕透的粉底液，再用粉刷輕刷上霧面粉底，營造最自然的膚質。

2. BROWN BROWS

Use a brown palette to achieve thicker eyebrows, and then apply brown eyebrow mascara to complete the natural look. 眉妝：畫上棕色較粗眉妝，並刷上棕色染眉膏，讓眉型呈現根根分明眉流感，畫出自然的模樣！

3. DOE EYES

Earth-toned eyeshadows are great for pulling off a subtle-yet-gorgeous winter makeup look. Apply orange and coffee palette gradation eyeshadow followed by darkbrown eyeliner to add brightness to the eyes. 眼妝：冬季用柔和顯色的大地色系為宜，選了橘色與深淺咖啡的漸層眼影色，再輕擦睫毛膏。

4. CONTOUR

In the area between the nose and eyebrows, use a dark-colored matte contour palette to give subtle depth to your profile. Create a radiant complexion by using the brighter matte highlight for the T-zone: across the center of the forehead, down the bridge of the nose, and on the chin right beneath the lower lip. 頰彩修容：鼻子跟眉毛間、下顎角用稍微深的霧面修容色，以斜刷方式輕輕掃過臉頰，並在 T 字部位用較亮的霧面修容色。

5. PRETTY PINK

Apply a rosy matte lipstick to balance the eyeshadow. To make the look more delicate and pretty, shape your lips with lip liner or a lip pencil. 唇妝：玫瑰色系的霧面唇膏，與眼妝達成平衡不搶眼妝，讓唇妝女人味十足。

The open-concept dining room flooded with natural light.

ituated in Toronto’s bustling Little Italy district is a cozy yet contemporary home, designed to accommodate a family seeking the conveniences of an apartment with all the amenities of a house. Audax, a Toronto, Canada-based architecture and interior design firm, has impeccably transformed the third floor of a 1980s commercial building into this family-friendly abode. The home harmoniously integrates modern and traditional design elements, giving the space a luxurious yet cozy feel. Upon walking out of a private elevator, directly accessible from the street below, one steps onto the Nero Marquina and statuario marble f loors of the foyer. Sweeping, floor-length windows and minimal white walls give the living room a bright and airy feel, contributing to the welcoming ambience. The symmetrical layout adds balance to the room; matching blue velvet sofas surround the Fibonacci coffee table, and twin double French doors with cremone bolts flank the marble-clad fireplace.

總部位於加拿大多倫多的建築及室內設計公司奧達克斯（Audax）無可挑剔地完成了一個項目——將80年代商業大樓中的三層改造成親切的家庭住宅。因為這個舒適而現代的家座落於多倫多熙熙攘攘的小意大利區，被稱為「小意大利之家」，它擁有公寓的便捷，同時兼具別墅的舒適性。奧達克斯成立於2007年，十多年來一直提供建築和室內設計服務，作品曾多次獲獎。其設計注重整體性，在每一個項目中盡力尋求技術、美學與功能的最佳平衡點，並確保建築和室內空間使用清晰明確的設計語言，使建築、室內設計和裝飾之間完美結合。在公司創始人兼首席執行官詹皮耶羅（Gianpiero Pugliese）的領導下，奧達克斯承擔過各種類型的項目，展示了多種多樣的設計風格。通過對「傳統設計原則與現代美學關係」的探索，奧達克斯逐漸形成了獨特的設計方法，即「以人為本的建築」。奧達克斯發現，傳統建築的許多優點已經被今日盛行的現代美學設計所掩蓋。通過現代主義的視角審視過去，奧達克斯將被忽視的觸覺和人類尺度的元素，重新帶入視野。如此，傳統建築的溫暖和細節設計與現代設計的各方面融為一體，將傳統與現代完美融合。

In the kitchen, wire-brushed oak veneer cabinets accompany the clean white walls and countertops, giving the room a sleek and contemporary feel. The home also includes a winter garden, a unique and coveted amenity in the heart of the city. The garden is accessible through the French doors in the living room, and has two large operable windows. When the windows are opened during the warmer seasons, the space is converted into a covered terrace, allowing the family to enjoy a private, open-air space in lieu of a backyard. The geometric Mutina Azulej tiles by Patricia Urquiola give the room a lively touch, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy one’s downtime.

Subdued yellows, ebony furniture, and a charming bird-patterned wallpaper add a modern twist to the traditional Victorian nursery. The boy’s bedroom employs a monochrome scheme of gray and cream tones, livened by vibrant accessories. Floating shelves display children’s books while also serving as wall art. The light and airy laundry room features butcher block countertops, a cream subway tile backsplash, and the same Mutina Azulej tile as the winter garden. Throughout the entire apartment, the smoked oak herringbone floor and traditional door castings create a warm and homey base, while modern elements add a sophisticated touch. Many of the meticulously chosen pieces—such as the Evelyn armchair, Vasari dining table, and Raphael dining chairs—come from Audax’s very own furniture collection. Through an impeccable integration of tradition and modernity, Audax has created a one-of-a-kind sanctuary, perfect for raising a family amid the bustle of a big city.

hen a client reached out to Larson Architecture Works with a vague “something is not quite right” about her apartment on Park Avenue, the New York City-based architecture firm found the perfect solutions. Directed by Douglas Larson, the firm thoughtfully reinvented the apartment to echo the great houses of Europe, creating a design that is classical in structure and luxurious in its spaciousness and textures.

這座位於紐約公園大道的公寓在完成第一次裝修後，業主仍感到有些不滿意，於是委託拉爾森建築事務所對其進行第二次設計改造。改建後的公寓共有三間臥室、三個衛生間、一個圖書館、一個客廳、一個廚房及獨立的餐廳。建築師在充分考慮客戶的需求和空間功能後，調整了空間流線，明確了公共空間和私人空間的等級。原來通向臥室走廊的書房入口，被調整至靠近窗戶的一側，將沿窗的書房、起居室和餐廳連接起來。連續的大面積窗戶將建築師的思緒帶到歐洲宮廷，靈感由此而來。通過調整門框的位置、寬度及樣式，沿窗一側設置了新的通道，

TAILORED FOR HUMAN FUNCTION Larson Architecture Works always seeks to design meaningful architecture that enhances the daily lives of its clients and takes into consideration their needs

當光線透過三組窗戶同時照入房間的時候，這裡便形成一條極美的視線，同時又加強了公共空間的連續性，帶來通透、寬敞的視覺感受。感性與理性在這裡完美銜接。拉爾森建築事務的設計理念「空間組織和環境體驗

and inclinations. At Park Avenue, these nuances are reflected in the redesign of a bathroom shared by the guest bedroom and the library. Originally a bathroom shared by two bedrooms, it now had to do double duty as a bathroom for the guest bedroom and a powder room that could be discreetly accessed from the library. Larson Architecture Works’ ingenious solution: a bookcase that acts as a hidden door to the powder room. The door is situated in a corner of the library, so guests can slip in and out without calling attention to themselves. BALANCED SURROUNDINGS According to the firm’s design philosophy, “the organization of space and the unfolding of experiences in the environment should enhance our understanding of our surroundings.” This philosophy is core to the experience Larson strove to create in his renovation of the Park Avenue apartment, and it is most clearly reflected in the new enfilade, an architectural feature characterized by a suite of rooms with aligned doorways. Inspired by the enfilades in the great houses of Europe, Larson broke through walls to align the openings of the library, living room, and dining room, which all line a window wall of the apartment. The result is a beautiful sightline through the house and a feeling of spaciousness. These three rooms all embody Larson’s philosophy regarding the design of a space’s surroundings. The library, which originally had only one wall of books, is now lined with shelves on all four walls, creating a cozy reading nook surrounded by literature and art. Similarly, the dining room walls are decorated with matching wallpaper panels. The living room, situated in between the library and dining room, features 11 Ionic pilasters in a pattern around the room, creating a regular rhythm of walls and openings. Larson also found inspiration from the architecture surrounding the apartment. As such, he designed the living room pilasters to mirror the facade of a nearby church, visible through the windows of the dining room.

A bookcase serves as a hidden entrance from the library to the powder room, allowing guests to slip in and out without attracting too much attention.

的展開，應該增強我們對周圍環境的理解」，在這個項目中得以充分體現。建築師通過在同一空間內重複使用相同的基礎元素，加強了空間辨識度和對環境的體驗。在此基礎上，還非常擅長疊加一些戲劇性或有特點的元素以製造驚喜，從而營造令人難忘的空間體驗。原來的書房僅有一面牆設置了書架，改建後，建築師在相鄰的兩面牆增設了相同的書架，以此形成「環繞式的環境體驗」。如果說風格獨特的藝術畫作是這裡的亮點，那麼暗藏的化妝間入口則是一個驚喜，它完全隱藏在一段英國進口的假書架之下。原來的衛生間僅為兩個臥室所共用，而現在則改為衛生間及化妝間。這樣，不必打擾私人空間，客人就可以在不引起注意的情況下，悄悄地出入化妝間。起居室的三個門框需要有一個統一的元素來調節它們和牆壁之間的節奏，所以在這裡增設了 11 個壁柱。環繞排列的壁柱不僅悄無痕跡地將多個門框與牆壁融合為一個整體，同時也賦予起居室莊重的空間特點。 │77

Middle: The four walls of the apartment’s library are lined with bookshelves, creating a cozy space surrounded by literature and art. Right: The architects sanded off the original dark finish on the white oak parquet de Versailles and left it natural, allowing light to play off its surface in a way that does not happen with stained wood.

A BEAUTIFUL FINISH Larson Architecture Works aims to make each of its projects truly memorable—and it is the final overlay of visual artistry that achieves that. The apartment features an eclectic variety of furniture, with French-designed chairs and a Chinese-inspired carpet in the living room, a classic English Georgian dining table in the dining room, and a modern-style sofa in the library. All the furniture was custom-made to perfectly match its respective space in the home. To enhance the flooring, Larson Architecture Works sanded off the dark finish of the original white oak parquet de Versailles and left it natural, allowing light to play off the unstained wood.

Through thoughtful, subtle alterations, Larson Architecture Works has created a luxurious, yet understated design that is timeless in its beauty. 起居室的家具是多種風格的和諧組合。法國公司設計的椅子和沙發、中式咖啡桌、特別訂製的沙發，以一種近乎謙虛的簡潔風格融入到整個空間中。此外，帶有玫瑰色和灰褐色的地毯特意為起居室訂製，選用了受中國文化啟發的東方圖案。餐廳所有的牆面都選用壁紙裝飾，使人印象深刻。原來的壁紙選用了圖案優美的 de Gournay 牆紙，但因為更改入口位置，牆板與壁紙必須被局部填補或移除，因而需要補充新的牆面及壁紙。客戶也不喜歡原來的顏色，所以她請一位裝飾藝術家朋友把它塗上一層薄紗般的紋理，形成一種類似雲的效果。 │79

hen we ask Belinda Leong about her special granola, her face lights up. “Want me to get some? Do you want to try it?” She quickly disappears and reappears holding a neatly packaged bag of granola. The granola is delightful: It smells like popcorn and has a kind of heartwarming deliciousness that reminded me of childhood. Belinda describes it better: “It’s like a party of textures in your mouth. It’s crunchy, airy, crispy, and it’s not sweet.” Once you start, it’s hard to stop, and it tastes wonderful on its own, without milk or yogurt. Over the next few days, I keep popping some into my mouth. At her bakery in San Francisco, b. Patisserie, Belinda conjures up a delightful assortment of pastries that are much like her granola—enchanting combinations of flavors and textures that excite your taste buds without ever feeling too sweet or intense. Since Belinda opened b. Patisserie with Michel Suas, a renowned baker and pastry chef from France, they’ve built it into a neighborhood fixture and one of the most beloved bakeries in San Francisco. Belinda and Michel were also recently honored with the 2018 James Beard Award for Outstanding Baker. Each of their meticulously baked pastries represents their humble, sincere heart toward their customers.

在舊金山 Pacific Heights 區的角落，佇立著一家不起眼的糕點屋——b. Patisserie Bakery，近年不僅紅遍舊金山，揚聲全美，更展店至韓國和夏威夷。不在繁華地段，不在遊客點，2013 年創業伊始， Belinda Leong 和 Michel Suas 兩位法式糕點主廚特意選擇在較為安靜的區域開店。口耳相傳讓 b. Patisserie Bakery 兀自爆紅。 2018 年，Belinda 和 Michel 更榮獲有美食奧斯卡之稱的「James Beard Awards」最佳糕點主廚（Outstanding Baker）。他們的成功是天赋？是運氣？是努力？偏安一隅美味綻放 Belinda 是一個土生土長的舊金山人，從 San Francisco City College 烹飪專業畢業後，她曾在米其林一星餐廳 Gary Danko 負責烹調鹹點（Savory）。一天，Gary Danko 的糕點廚師突然空缺，餐廳主廚問 Belinda 想不想試一試，就是這樣一個偶然的機遇，Belinda 真正開始了自己的烘焙之路。為了精練自己的烘焙技術，Belinda 每天從早 8 點至下午 4 點到舊金山烘焙學院（San Francisco Baking Institute）精修法式糕點烘焙，然後至 Gary Danko 工作到凌晨 1 點。每天超長的工作和學習時間，讓 Belinda 聽課時哈欠連連。但這個犯睏的學生一旦進了操作間實際上手演練時，卻做得非常出色。 2005 年，Belinda 便是在這樣辛苦努力地進修期間遇見了老師 Michel Suas。Michel 是一個道地的法國人，21 歲就在巴黎米其林三星餐廳 Barrier 擔任糕點主廚，並於

CREATING B. PATISSERIE Belinda fell in love with pastry when she started filling in for the empty pastry chef position at Michelin-starred Restaurant Gary Danko. To hone her skills, she enrolled at the San Francisco Baking Institute where she met Michel, the institute’s founder. “She failed. She failed,” Michel teases, as Belinda begins to laugh. “You want to know the truth? She was falling asleep in class.” But he laters explains that she had a good excuse, as she was working night shifts at Restaurant Gary Danko until 1 a.m. after attending class from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. every day. Outside of the classroom, Belinda excelled in lab at

1996 年開設了舊金山烘焙學院。 2013 年，Belinda 和 Michel 決定合夥開業。在他們的理念中，b. Patisserie 這家店應該有法式糕點的品質和舊金山的輕鬆氛圍。比起在繁華地段坐守走過路過的人潮，他們更願意用心接待真正喜歡糕點、注重生活品質的食客。相較人潮湧動的快節奏餐飲店，他們更希望給人們提供一個可以悠然坐下享受時光的美食驛站。伴隨這些理念，b. Patisserie 在舊金山一隅溫馨開業。店內裝修雖樸素卻簡潔明亮。開放式廚房讓顧客可以看到大廚和師傅們在廚房中專注烘焙的情形，每一個環節滿滿的都是他們的心思。同時，開放式廚房也讓 Belinda 和同事們可以看到顧客。每當看到熟客登門，看到顧客因糕點而綻放笑顏的那一刻，他們心中滿是烘焙的幸福。

the San Francisco Baking Institute and impressed Michel. And she was always eager for more opportunities to learn hands-on. After eight years at Gary Danko, she flew to Europe to stage for giants in the culinary and pastry world like Pierre Hermé in France, Bubó in Spain, Noma in Denmark, and In de Wulf in Belgium. Like Belinda, Michel was never particularly suited for learning in a classroom. At 14, he was deemed too rowdy for school and was told to go learn a trade. So he chose cooking, later switched to pastry, and by 21, he was the head pastry chef of Restaurant Charles Barrier, one of the few French restaurants honored with three Michelin stars. It was nerve-wracking—“You never gain weight because you’re scared”—but also wonderfully fun. After two or three years, Michel was ready for a new adventure, so he flew to the United States with a backpack and three hundred dollars to begin his career anew. Now he’s the go-to guy for artisan bread and pastry, offering advice to many establishments like La Brea Bakery in Los Angeles and Balthazar in New York City. When Belinda returned to San Francisco, she sought Michel’s advice on starting her own bakery. Together, they built b. Patisserie, which unites the exquisite highend pastries of France with the casual, relaxed vibe of San Francisco. It’s comfortable and welcoming—no chef coats, no chef hats—and the open kitchen allows people to see all the dessert-making magic. Instead of choosing the busiest part of town, Belinda and Michel went for a quieter part of San Francisco. It’s not the kind of place you stumble upon while walking through the city. It’s the kind of place you hear about from friends and go searching for.“Whoever decides to come, they decided to,” Michel says. “You see people coming with big smiles because it’s a destination.”

味道質感完美平衡 Belinda 說，真正的美味糕點，應是味道和質感的完美平衡。也就是，當糕點入口時，味道就「活靈活現」在口中跳躍，咬下去食物本身的質感讓人驚豔。與此同時，食物的質感應平衡味道中的「香」和「甜」，讓糕點甜而不膩。Michel 拿可頌（Croissant）舉例，一個好的可頌需要入口時外面層層的麵圈酥脆爽口，脆皮之後則是內裡麵包如絲絨般溼潤鬆軟的質感，一口咬下，奶油和麵粉發酵的香氣便延展在整個口腔中。b. Patisserie Bakery 的糕點很少有花俏誇張的口味。 Michel 和 Belinda 解釋，他們不想做譁眾取寵，挑戰人們味蕾的新奇糕點。他們會創新、創造，但是最終要呈現給顧客的是可口舒心、能夠溫暖胃和心靈的食物。談到被諸多媒體報導的 b. Patisserie Bakery 獨創「酥脆燕麥（Granola）」，Belinda 的眼睛放出明亮的光采。她熱情地問我們：「有嘗過嗎？」聽到答案是沒有，她立即起身，一會兒功夫拿來一袋。一入口，我們發現這個平實樸素的普通燕麥，搖身一變成了精采絕倫的美味。它又酥又脆，香而不膩，讓人一口接一口，越吃越停不下來！不用搭配牛奶或酸奶，它自身就是讓人脣齒留香的宅配唰嘴佳品。當我們問，「食譜都是如何研發出來的呢？」 Belinda 和 Michel 笑笑說，基本都是在對話和嘗試操作中，沒有明確一定要怎麼樣，只是不斷嘗試，邊做邊討論，一個食譜在多次嘗試中自然而然就出來了。他們說，有時候這個過程需要幾年。聽著 Michel 和 Belinda 講述他們研發食譜的過程，二人尋常的對話裡，無不是快樂和默契的自然流露。我們就像看到了一場細膩愉悅的旅行，過程中細微點滴的進步，對 Belinda 和 Michel 都是驚喜。每研發出一個新的糕點設計，Belinda 和 Michel 都會首先請員工一起品嘗、鑑定。「只有他們首先喜歡，才能做出讓客人喜歡的糕點，因為他們會是締造這些美味給顧客的人。」Belinda 說。報以真心歲月靜好無論是普通的家常麵包，還是熱門的花式糕點，Belinda

FLAVOR AND TEXTURE In a single pastry, Belinda never uses more than three flavors, so she doesn’t confuse the palate. Besides the flavors typically found in French pastry, she also incorporates more Asian ingredients, like red bean, sago, mango, coconut, green tea, and almond jello. So what makes the ideal dessert? “The flavors pop, and they’re alive in my mouth, and there’s a lot of textures that surprise my palate and a balance of sweetness to savory to saltiness, ” Belinda says. Michel elaborates with a description of the perfect

都拿出十分的真心親手製作。而且軟度、甜度、蓬鬆度等，一切細節都要按照她心目中理想的這種糕點模樣來做。比如很常見的司康餅（scones），Belinda 就要做到入口鬆脆不乾燥，內裡蓬軟溼潤，日復一日，每天如此。曾有一位懷孕的媽媽，非常愛吃 b. Patisserie 的司康餅，經常挺著大肚子造訪。後來這位媽媽的寶寶也非常喜歡司康餅，和媽媽一起成為 b. Patisserie 的常客。店內工作人員親切地稱這個寶寶「司康餅寶寶」，現在寶寶已經 5 歲了。Michel 說，烘焙陪伴社區孩子長大的美食，是一位糕點廚師最有幸福感和成就感的事情了。在 Belinda 和 Michel 的烘焙理念中，真正的美食，

croissant: “It has to be that when you bite on it, you get a little crust on it; you can hear a little crust. Then you go through it and start to feel a little more of a velvety texture, and then all of a sudden you have an explosion of flavor with the butter and fermentation.” BUILDING A COMMUNITY Every day, customers pour into b. Patisserie to get their “shot of sugar or happiness” as Michel likes to phrase it. “You can become a little cocky and pretentious because of the crowd,” Michel says. He makes sure to remind their team of bakers to stay humble and sincere and to deliver the best pastry to everyone who walks through the door. With the open kitchen, the bakers at b. Patisserie can savor people’s eager, smiling faces as they point at their favorite pastries or take a bite into Belinda’s famous kouign-amanns. It harkens back to the days when bakeries were places people went to every day. “Our pastries are not too heavy. They’re quite light, and it’s not very sweet, so people can consume it every day,” Belinda says. B. Patisserie has become a special place, a place for friends and families to create memories and share happiness. “You become so used to the kids in the strollers, talking, and then all of a sudden, kids start to recognize you. The kids are the ones that always want to come, so you see almost a generation growing with you,” Michel says. One lady in the neighborhood would always crave the fluffy and moist scones at b. Patisserie when she was pregnant, so much so that her baby became affectionately known as the “scone baby.” “It’s almost like building a small community. That’s what’s nice,” Belinda says.

B. Patisserie’s pastry selection includes individual cakes and entremets, tarts, verrines, macarons, and a range of viennoiseries.

無關花俏的配料，無關複雜的工藝，而是源於真心與努力。再名貴、再複雜，沒有熱愛，也難以可口。再平凡、再普通，報以真心，便能做出佳品。Belinda 和 Michel 感慨說，想到每個顧客的到來都意味著一份獨一無二的個人體驗，他們心中就會升起一種責任感。對他們而言，每一天每一刻，製作每一個糕點的過程，都應嚴肅對待。因為每一位顧客都值得被用心對待，每一個糕點都值得懷著純粹的心去做。日復一日，舊金山晨曦的亮光中，總有帶著孩子的母親，穿著家居服的附近居民，帶著筆電的年輕人，造訪隱沒於都市繁華中的一家糕點店。這裡是 b. Patisserie Bakery，一個記錄美好、承載幸福的甜蜜地方。

uilt in 1926 as part of Grand Central Terminal’s urban design plan, The Barclay played a pivotal role in New York City’s transformation into the commercial and cultural capital it is today. As one of the original “railroad” hotels, its luxurious yet residential atmosphere made it the lodging of choice among New York’s elite.

1978. Since then, the hotel has undergone multiple restorations, the most recent in 2014. After an extensive, 20-month-long renovation process, The Barclay reopened in April 2016. The top-to-bottom revitalization cost over $180 million, with more than 420,000 square feet of redesigned interiors. Two exquisite ballrooms and the magnificent Harold S. Vanderbilt Penthouse are among the hotel’s biggest additions. The renovation process focused on expanding and modernizing, while maintaining The Barclay’s historic charm and its quintessential Park Avenue residential style. The grand marble staircase, Federalist-style details, and an elaborate lobby ceiling are all reminiscent of the hotel’s storied past. Meticulously chosen artwork ref lects The Barclay’s 1920s legacy, from vintage maps to Hudson River School landscapes. Additionally, the golden songbirds that adorn the entrance pay homage to one of the hotel’s most famous features: the giant birdcage that stood in the center of the lobby until it was removed in the 1990s. Gloria Swanson, Marlon Brando, and Ernest Hemingway are among the numerous famous figures the hotel has hosted. With a wide range of rooms

and suites that all exude elegance and comfort, The Barclay has the perfect space for every guest and occasion. 和精工打造的鷹狀金屬門俳等。除了向歷史致敬，向原始風格致敬，新裝潢也加入了現代功能性設計。 704 套客房煥然一新，衛生間更大、更舒適，套房隔音效果優良，讓客人身居繁華之中亦能享受寧靜時光。賓館共有 10 種房型，其中總統套房和頂層套房自帶典雅大氣的觀景陽台。在寸土寸金的曼哈頓，這絕對是頂級的豪華配置。作為位居曼哈頓核心地段的豪華酒店， InterContinental New York Barclay 酒店不僅是傲立曼哈頓中城的歷史地標，也是匯聚各界精英名流的社交名所。百萬富翁、社交名媛、知名藝術家等都曾造訪這裡，如前紐約中央鐵路主席哈洛德 · 范德比（Harold Stirling Vanderbilt）、著名作家海明威（Ernest Hemingway）、華府知名社交名媛、前美國駐盧森堡大使梅斯塔（Perle Mesta）、普利策和諾貝爾文學獎獲得者尤金 · �尼爾（Eugene O'Neill）、民權運動領袖馬丁· 路德 · 金（Martin Luther King, Jr.）等。 InterContinental New York Barclay 111 East 48th Street, New York, NY 10017

n the summer of 2010, Sophia Lee opened missKOREA in Manhattan’s Koreatown, introducing Korean royal cuisine to the capital of the world. The restaurant was immensely popular, and the line snaking out the door day after day not only reassured Sophia of her mission to uphold the traditions of Korean cuisine, but also encouraged her to strive toward providing the best Korean dining ex-

八年前的夏天，李善慧女士（Sophia Lee）將韓國宮廷膳食第一次搬進了世界之都「曼哈頓」，在曼哈頓的韓國街一時激起千層浪，門外長長排隊等候就餐的人們，讓善慧看在眼裡記在心上，更讓她對秉持傳韓食文化充滿信心，也激勵她更加滿懷熱忱地為來自世界各地的食客們提供最好的韓國料理。她希望，不管是人們在工作生活之餘，還是旅遊觀光之時，都能在missKOREA放鬆心情，找到一份寧靜，一份快樂。

意境獨特的就餐環境帶著這樣誠摯心意，善慧不僅考慮食物的美味，同時也考慮客人就餐的環境。她認為，客人在餐廳消費不僅是美食，更重要的是意境，missKOREA 餐廳的每一層設計都代表著不同的意境。餐廳分為三層，每層主題不同，分別是「真」、「善」和「美」。一層「真」，仿照山林、原野樹叢中的自然環境打造，多是木質座椅，大理石牆面，山林圖案窗扇設計，意在描摹自然野趣。二層「善」，模擬韓國傳統「捨廊房」，設計優雅、怡人、大方而莊重，力圖再現朝鮮時代上流人士讀書、會客環境的清雅。三層「美」，將現代簡約元素和傳統韓國詩詞歌賦相結合，品味傳統和現代動與靜之美，適合正式會談及午夜朋友聚會暢飲。充滿祝福的食譜設計韓國烤肉用特製的醬料醃製，不同的烤肉有不同的風味，由於種類多，客人很難一次享用到所有口味，如果把不同品種和口味的烤肉組合在一起，就可以讓客人一次享

A UNIQUE DINING ENVIRONMENT With this sincere wish in mind, Sophia is concerned not only with providing delicious food but also creating a relaxing environment. In a restaurant, she believes, a diner consumes not only food, but, more importantly, a mood. Thus, she has set up missKOREA on three floors, each with a unique aesthetic and dining concept. The first floor, “Jin,” is inspired by nature, from the use of stone walls with tufts of grass, to the muted mural of a forest on one wall, to the irregular, naturalistic edges of the tables. The second floor, “Sun,” is an oasis of serenity, inspired by Korea’s Joseon Dynasty. The aesthetic is

spare and beautiful, with light wood and warm lighting throughout, adorned with delicate details and Korean artwork. The peaceful private rooms were inspired by ancient Korean sarangbang. In historical times, these were traditional study rooms where one could practice writing, calligraphy, and painting, and which also doubled as places where nobles would engage in discussion of politics and culture over tea. The third floor, “Mi,” is a more contemporary space, where shades of black and white blend with accents of red. The decor pays homage to the 16th-century female poet Hwang Jin Yi, who was known for her poems about longing. The mix of tradition and modernity is an ideal meeting place for friends to gather and while away the night.

長壽 Longevity 這道主題為「長壽」的烤肉套餐組合，包括：黑豬五花肉、牛舌、薄牛腩肉片和無骨牛排四種肉品，還可任意選擇一份美味的豆腐煲。全部肉品都是選用原汁原味的非醃製肉品，因此取名「長壽餐」。幸福餐 Happiness 這道主題為「幸福」的烤肉套餐組合，包括：五花肉、無骨牛排、雞肉和牛肉片四種肉品，和烤肉相配的豆腐煲，可以任選口味。全部肉品都是經由missKOREA祕製醬料特別醃製。不同的肉品配不同的醬料，口味完全不同，多種滋味匯聚一處，讓人頓感大飽口福，幸福感滿懷，「幸福餐」由此而來。韓國宮廷御膳自「李式王朝」時代奠定根基，料理依據五行配置，講究白、青、黃、黑、赤五色，以及鹹、甜、酸、辣、苦五味的色味均衡。從食材、烹調到上菜，每一道料理都要求對人體有益，東方「醫食同源」的概念是烹飪菜餚的最高準則。 │91

出租投資的地主夢魘：當你的房子在紐約文蔡璧徽

紐約市作為世界之都，房地產的保值功能自是不在話下；再加上各大好萊塢影視加持，全球投資人即使沒有長住紐約，也往往會選擇紐約房產作為投資標的。確實紐約的租金房價比不差，比起一看就像是房產泡沫的某些亞洲城市，紐約的房產算得上是一筆

關於蔡璧徽律師

穩定的收入；然而，大蘋果相關法規的複雜度與疊床架屋，卻也成為投資地主的夢魘⋯⋯ 筆者多年作為訴訟律師在紐約執業，投資房產相關的訴訟與糾紛中，最常見的不啻是房東與房客之間的衝突。舉凡：大至不交或者拖欠租金、惡意破壞房屋，小至用水無度、環境維持不佳、刻意遮擋攝像頭等，幾乎能想像到的與不能想像到的都曾遇到。由於紐約市對於房客的保護非常周到，許多房客因而得了便宜還賣乖，反正信用收入本來就不好也沒什麼好失去的，因此拖滯房租惡意破壞無所不作；就算房東走法律程序，從收到租期終止通知到法警上門之間也要好幾個月，一個弄不好，房東的法院程序中有什麼瑕疵，那就幾個月白費一切重來，這樣房客又白白獲得數個月

現任紐約臺灣青商會副會長 / 理事，畢業於美國最具聲望的法學院之一— 紐約大學法學院，並擁有臺灣清華大學科技法律碩士學位。發表過數篇法學期刊文章。有紐約南區和東區的聯邦法院出庭資格。專精於民事訴訟和智慧財產權，代表客戶在紐約州及聯邦法庭解決各種民事糾紛，包括商業交易、房地產、房東房客，和商標糾紛訴訟等案件。多次代表客戶尋求包括庭審，調解、庭外和解等最有效率的糾紛解決途徑。

的白住時間。有些房客看準房子本身有違規情況，例如違法的地下室、閣樓，或違法分租房間等，住進去之後，立刻以此敲詐房東一筆，逼得房東只好拿出「分手費」花錢請租客走，有苦難言。除了房客之外，另一個最常讓地主們吃悶虧的大概就是政府罰單了。由於紐約法規的複雜，再加上聯邦法、州法與紐約市法律都有管轄權，很多房東一個不慎就吃上罰單。罰款事小，要請工程師建築師施作，甚至律師出庭辯護才事大。不過幸好，一般不是太嚴重的違規類型，例如：前院種樹的面積不夠（是的，這在城市規劃分區法規裡面有規定）、緊急出口的燈沒有自動供電、沒有在吊繩系統標示危險字樣等，大部分只要補正之後就不會有太嚴重的後果。麻煩的是，如果是在買房時沒有注意相關規範買下了無法彌補的違規，有時候很難透過工程補正，這時候好的出庭律師
