送上小禮物 Break out the BauBles 被“桎梏”了差不多一年之後,我已經對假日迫不及 待了,讓聚會快點來吧,不管是線上的還是線下的,是 盛大的還是小型的,只要能讓我有機會打扮起來玩得開 心就好。更重要的是,我要送給我愛的人最豐富的禮 物—在過去的一年我沒有太多機會見到他們,但至少, 我要讓他們知道我是多麼珍視他們。 有人說這是“報復式”消費,但誰又不想這樣呢?正 因為如此,我要給您送上一期最華美的節日雜誌。除了 一年一度的節日送禮指南,您還會從蕭邦、卡地亞、蒂 芙尼和法國珠寶大師Frédéric Zaavy的經典中挖掘到珍 寶。為慶祝Pandora珠寶誕生20周年,我們更與該品牌 合作制作了特輯。時尚名人Alyssa Lai專程從埃德蒙頓飛 到多倫多,拍攝了佩戴Pandora最新款手鏈和串飾的專 輯。 在今秋巴黎、米蘭時裝周都移師線上的特別時期, 我們依然先行一步,為您展示出2021年春夏時裝的最新 潮流,如果您錯過了時裝周的網上直播,最炫的時裝造 型就在我們這裏。亮麗的色彩、大膽的圖形和線條蘊含 著的是希望,是信心—我們不都在期望明年會更好嗎? 在過去幾個月,我們主辦了幾期網上美妝大師班, 幫助網友扮靚自己。通過Neostrata、Caudalie、Clé de Peau Beauté、Kérastase等品牌,我們向網友推介了不 少皮膚護理專家,解答網友季節性皮膚護理的難題,傳 授一些重要的自我護理技巧。我們希望今後帶給大家更 多特別的體驗,不想錯過這些項目,就請關註我們的 Instagram或Facebook@eliteGenMag吧。 最後,讓我向我們的每一位讀者道一聲節日快樂! 把自己打扮得漂漂亮亮,開開心心過節吧!我們2021年 再見!

After being cooped up for much of the year, I just cannot wait for the holidays. I don’t care whether the parties are virtual or IRL (in real life)—I just want to dress up and have some fun for a change. Moreover, I want to shower my loved ones with the most lavish gifts ever. As I have not seen them as much as I would have liked this year, at least I can show them how much I love and cherish them. Some may call it revenge dressing/spending/gifting, but who doesn’t need some of that about now? So, we feature one of our most extravagant holiday issues yet. In addition to our annual gift guide, our pages are filled with jewellery from Chopard, Cartier, Elsa Peretti for Tiffany and Frédéric Zaavy. Plus, in celebration of the 20th anniversary of Pandora jewellery, we are doing a special collaboration with the brand. Influencer Alyssa Lai (@imalyssalau) made a special trip to Toronto from Edmonton for our photo shoot so she could model Pandora's latest bracelets and charms. As usual, our fashion pages spring one tiny step ahead of the season. The Spring/Summer 2021 shows in Paris and Milan all went virtual this year. For those who missed the web livecasts, we've curated some of the best looks: bright colours, bold patterns and daring shapes that exude hope and confidence. Aren’t we all looking forward to better times ahead? And to help our readers always look their best—not just in attire and adornment—in the last few months we've also been busy hosting virtual beauty masterclasses. Working with great brands like Neostrata, Caudalie, Clé de Peau Beauté and Kérastase, we connect readers with skincare experts to address seasonal skincare concerns and learn important self-care tips. Going forward, we hope to continue to bring you more special experiences. If you haven’t already, please be sure to follow us on Instagram and Facebook @eliteGenMag. We hope you enjoy the issue. And from all of us at eliteGen, we wish each and every one of you a healthy and wealthy festive season. See you in 2021.

非一般購物體驗

Making an entrance Louis Vuitton Yorkdale—more than just a store Story | Leslie Yip Photography | Michael Muraz 樓高兩層的LED彩燈幕牆,展示著色彩繽紛的Louis Vuitton經典Monogram,加上兩層高的巨形櫥窗,華麗閃 耀的全新Louis Vuitton Yorkdale店你絕不可能錯過。據 說,單是新店的外牆建築已耗資過百萬元。雙入口設計 分別通往女裝及男裝專區,旅遊專區是交匯點,牆身以 行李牌作裝飾,展現多倫多本土色彩。 8,000平方呎的新店建築設計和裝飾物料新穎獨特, 充滿藝術及文化元素。店內所有柱子都以Louis Vuitton的 標誌性皮革包裹。(我暗想:可以考慮用皮革把家裏的柱 子包起來!) 日本藝術大師村上隆的巨型車厘子雕塑亦放於店內 展示,肯定會成為粉絲的打卡位。 店內傢私亦充滿藝術氣息,當中包括Floris Wubben 的雕塑桌子、Pierre Paulin的圓形座椅、Andrianna Shamaris的石化木桌,其中一張用作陳列用途的桌子出 自Carlo Mollino手筆,而其它座椅則來自品牌的收藏。

It is impossible to miss: the grand façade of the new Louis Vuitton at Yorkdale, wrapped in an illuminated two-storey LED screen, featuring animations of LV’s iconic signature flower motif in ever-changing colours, punctuated with dramatic double-height display windows. The façade alone is rumoured to have cost more than $1 million. Two separate entrances at different elevations lead into dedicated women’s and men’s boutiques, converging in the travel room decorated with a luggage-tag wall arranged in locally inspired colours. The massive store spans more than 8,000 square feet filled with art, designer furniture and architeture that wows. Columns throughout the store are wrapped in emblematic Louis Vuitton stitched leathers. (Note to self: I should consider wrapping the columns in my home in leather.) Takashi Murakami fans will love the larger-than-life “cherries” sculpture by the Japanese artist, which serves as a whimsical centrepiece. Completing the decorative interiors are sculptural tables by Floris Wubben, rounded Pierre Paulin chairs, petrified wood tables from Andrianna Shamaris, a display table by Carlo Mollino, and seating from the famed fashion house’s archival collection. Some of the art, furniture and historical objects are sourced from LV’s rich archives. However, many are commissioned locally, like a bespoke ceramic tile art piece by Canadian artist Rebecca Bayer and wall art inspired by Toronto-based street artist BirdO.


即場燙印服務為客人在皮具上印上個性化 圖案。這不單只具識別作用,更為產品印 上專屬印記。

還記得Louis Vuitton前創作總監Marc Jacobs邀得村上隆為品牌設計的Cerises嗎?新店放 置了一個巨型車厘子雕塑讓你盡情打卡。 Do you remember the Cerises collection for Louis Vuitton, designed by Takashi Murakami under the helm of creative director Marc Jacobs? Now you can pose with the gigantic cherries sculpture at the store.

An on-site hot-stamping service allows clients to personalize a variety of leather goods.

部份藝術品、傢私及古董陳設來自Louis Vuitton的珍藏,但很多是多倫多本 地藝術家的作品,包括由加國藝術家Rebecca Bayer特別為新店打造的陶瓷磚藝 術品,而其中壁畫的設計靈感源自多倫多街頭藝術家BirdO。 Yorkdale店與別不同之處是提供品牌全線產品系列,包括女士及男士皮具、 成衣、鞋履、配飾、腕錶及珠寶、旅行產品、香水及書刊。此外,更可找到獨家 精品及預售即將登場的產品系列及膠囊系列。 客人更可體驗Louis Vuitton傳統的訂製產品及手繪個性化服務。除了為客人 即場在皮具上進行個性化燙印外,亦可於Les Parfums Louis Vuitton系列的香氛上 刻字。而訂製服務則適用於硬框旅行箱、部份皮革產品及Objets Nomades系列的 產品。

The Yorkdale store sets itself apart with a full offering of all LV’s product categories and collections, including women’s and men’s leather goods, ready-towear, shoes, accessories, watches and jewellery, travel, fragrances and publishing. This is also where exclusive products and pre-launches of upcoming collections and capsules will be introduced. You can also experience LV’s historic tradition of bespoke items and handcrafted personalization. The bespoke offerings include a selection of exceptional hand-crafted trunks, exotic leather goods and pieces from the Objets Nomades collection. An on-site hot-stamping service offers clients the opportunity to personalize a variety of leather goods, and a fragrance engraving service allows for the customization of an assortment of fragrance bottles within the Les Parfums Louis Vuitton collection.

Special Beauty Supplement

專為敏感皮膚的抗衰老組合 NEOSTRATA 全新高效抗衰老 PHA日用潤膚霜 AN ANTiAgiNg REgimEN fOR SENSiTivE SkiN iNTROduciNg NEOSTRATA ® RESTORE PHA dAily mOiSTuRizER 無論是何種皮膚性質,每當踏入冬天總是面臨莫大挑 戰—冷風和乾燥的室內空氣不單令皮膚脫水,更很可能導 致出現敏感狀況。當我們的皮膚受到壓力,衰老現象會變 得明顯,使用抗衰老護膚品又怕造成進一步的刺激,若您 正處於這兩難局面,不用擔心,因為NEOSTRATA的全新 PHA日用潤膚霜(Restore PHA Daily Moisturizer )正是為敏 感皮膚而設的高效抗衰老產品。 NEOSTRATA的PHA日用潤膚霜含有4%的多羥基酸 (PHA),可刺激皮膚的天然膠原蛋白增生,加強保濕鎖水 之餘,亦有溫和去角質功效。丁香的植物細胞萃取物和維 他命E有助保護皮膚為皮膚築起乾燥環境保護屏障,免受自 由基的侵害而出現明顯衰老現象。這兩種有效成分融合為 一,為乾燥和敏感的皮膚提供抗衰老護理作用。 對敏感皮膚人士來說,温和而徹底的清潔十分重要, 在去除雜質和污染物的同時,也不想過度用力令皮膚受 損。建議使用同一系列的的PHA無泡潔面乳,它不含肥皂 和香精,所含4%的PHA成分,可去除化妝品和雜質,且不 會影響皮膚的保護性水分屏障而導致乾燥。

The onset of winter can be challenging for our skin. Cold wind and dry indoor air are not only dehydrating, but they also increase sensitivity. When your skin is stressed, signs of aging become more apparent. However, you might be wary that antiaging products could cause further irritation. Don’t despair. There are effective antiaging products designed especially for sensitive skin. NEOSTRATA’s PHA Daily Moisturizer contains 4% Polyhydroxy Acids (PHAs), which target the skin’s natural collagen, while also hydrating the skin’s moisture barrier and providing gentle exfoliation. Lilac Plant Cell Extract and Vitamin E help protect against drying environmental factors, which can cause oxidative damage and lead to visible skin aging. Together, these ingredients provide antiaging care for those with dry, sensitive skin. Gentle, yet thorough, cleansing is very important for sensitive skin. You want to remove impurities (read: potential irritants) but don’t want to strip the skin. The PHA Facial Cleanser from the same line is a soap-free and fragrance-free, non-foaming gel which removes makeup and impurities and contains 4% PHAs, known to lightly exfoliate without drying the skin’s protective moisture barrier.

要是您眼睛部位也有敏感問題,NEOSTRATA的PHA 眼霜通過眼科醫學測試,不含香精,特強補濕滋潤,不刺 激眼部皮膚,可明顯撫平眼部幼紋,改善眼部皮膚光澤, 讓本來疲憊的皮膚煥發神采。

lf you have sensitivity around the eye area, NEOSTRATA’s PHA Eye Cream is ophthalmologist tested, fragrance-free and non-irritating. It visibly softens fine lines, improves radiance and revitalizes the look of stressed, tired skin, while hydrating the skin’s moisture barrier around the eyes.

對於敏感性皮膚人來說,結合使用PHA日用潤膚霜、 PHA潔面乳和PHA眼霜,會起溫和有效的抗衰老作用。

Together, the PHA Daily Moisturizer, PHA Facial Cleanser and PHA Eye Cream provide a gentle and effective daily antiaging regimen for those with sensitive skin.

若要皮膚時刻保持最佳狀態,除了日常使用上述 PHA護膚品,也可每周一或兩次配合使用Bionic Oxygen Recovery氧氣小氣泡臉膜,當中所含的分子氧和仿生酸, 能極速為皮膚注入生氣及光澤,有效均勻色澤,提升皮膚 彈性。

Finally, once or twice a week, use Bionic Oxygen Recovery as a treatment in conjunction with the above regimen. This effervescent formula delivers Molecular Oxygen and Bionic Acid to help energize and rebalance stressed skin in minutes. Skin looks and feels refreshed, with translucent radiance and suppleness.

Shape, Sculpt & Shine Burberry Global Beauty Director Isamaya Ffrench shares tips on how to use the new Glow Palette to accentuate Asian facial features Story | Leslie Yip Photography | Burberry Beauty 化妝師兼Dazed Beauty創立人之一的Isamaya Ffrench於今 年春天加入Burberry Beauty,成為品牌的全球美妝總監,首次負 責的產品系列於今年秋天發布,當中又以Essentials Glow Palette 三合一臉部蜜粉餅最受注目,一盒六格,包含乳霜和細緻蜜粉兩 種質感,視乎所使用的部位,可以即時達至塑造輪廓、上色和提 亮效果。對擁有亞洲和東方臉孔的女士們,Ffrench也分享了如何 使用最新推出的Essentials Glow Palette來突出獨特的東方美態。 eG:Essentials Glow Palette有什麼特色,令它成為2020年 秋冬必備的美妝產品? F:Glow Palette幾乎可以完全滿足女士們美化臉部的需要。 塗上後,能夠提亮、塑造輪廓和添加色澤,是每天都可使用的多 用途化妝品。 eG:大多數亞洲人的膚色都偏黃,卻追求白裏透紅的膚色, Glow Palette能做到這效果嗎? F:首先,您需要使用遮瑕液作為妝前準備及作粉底的一部 份。對大部份亞洲女性,我會建議她們使用適合白皙至自然膚色 的「01 fair to light medium 」Glow Palette,它具有三種不同的粉 紅色珍珠色調,以明亮和富光澤的珠光顏料製成,用在臉頰和太 陽穴周圍,效果猶如腮紅,其絲般的光澤和暖調亦可克服臉部泛 黃的問題。

E L I T E G E N. C A

Nov/DEC

2020

Make-up artist and Dazed Beauty co-founder Isamaya Ffrench joined Burberry Beauty this spring as the new global beauty director, and her first campaign is being released this fall. One of the key products is the Essentials Glow Palette, a three-in-one face palette combining creamy and powdery formulas that is said to instantly sculpt, colour and highlight. Since most of our readers have Asian features, we asked Ffrench for some specific application tips. eG: What is the Essentials Glow Palette? What makes it a Fall/Winter 2020 must-have? F: The Glow Palette is kind of everything you need to perfect and enhance your face. After you apply your foundation, it is there to brighten, contour, colour and add definition. It’s your everyday multi-use face palette. eG: Most Asians have yellow undertones, but aspire for radiant paleness with peachy/rosy tones. Can the Glow Palette help them achieve that? F: You may want to use a colour corrector as a first step. It can be viewed as part of the preparation and foundation part of your makeup. The Glow Palette I would suggest for most Asian women would be the “01 fair to light medium”. It has three different tones of pink pearl tones for blush and highlight, and can be used to counter any yellowness or sallowness by adding warmth and radiance, especially around the cheeks and temples.


eG:亞洲人的面部輪廓一般都不甚突出,Glow Palette可以 營造顴骨和鼻樑較高和挺直的效果嗎?

eG: Asians tend to have less prominent facial features. Can the Glow Palette give us higher cheekbones and nose bridges?

F:兩款較淺的粉紅色非常適合用於臉頰蘋果肌及顴骨稍高的 部位;而白色的珠光色調則非常適合用到鼻樑和眉骨位置,增加 輪廓的層次感,令五官看上去更立體。

F: The two lighter pinks would be perfect for the apples of the cheeks and slightly higher up on the cheekbones. The fairest shade, which is a white pearlescent tone, would work well for highlights for the bridge of the nose and/or the brow bones.

eG:應如何以打陰影來塑造輪廓? F:這是見人見智的問題,有些女士喜歡打陰影來加強輪廓 感,有些則討厭這樣做。其實打陰影不僅有助於加強顴骨和鼻 樑,亦有助營造更順眼的整體感覺。如果您的下巴比較方,可以 巧妙地使用陰影從下頜線向上移動以消除粗獷感。至於鼻子方 面,則有兩種陰影色調可以選擇︰較深色調的乳霜和較亮的高光 粉末。您可以根據自己的膚色,單獨使用其中一種,也可以將它 們混合使用到鼻側,讓鼻子看上去更挺。 eG: 怎樣以Glow Palette來打造自然的日間妝容? F:由於這個產品是可以添加構建的,所以適宜使用軟毛化妝 掃,既更加仔細,看上去亦會較柔和。掃上顏色時,盡可能仔細 完美,方便之後逐漸添加。長毛的圓頭粉底刷,或是任何具有柔 軟彈性感的刷子都是理想選擇,因為這些刷子均適用於暈染用途。 eG: 晚間妝容又該如何? F:雖然產品名稱是臉部蜜粉餅,但您亦可用作眼影。直接將 褐色調的蜜粉用指頭或是以化妝掃塗到眼瞼上,營造出煙熏眼影 的效果,由於這跟臉部色調相若,看上去會很自然。之後便可將 光影粉抹到眼瞼或是眼角,獲得出色的提亮效果。這個粉盒不但 易於攜帶收藏,內裡的大鏡子亦方便您隨時轉換妝容。 eG: 油性皮膚也適用嗎? F:一般來說,鼻子周圍或T字位都較易泛油,平時也應避免 在這些部位使用提亮的產品,而是在顴骨、眉骨和鼻樑上使用提 亮化妝品。Glow Palette的圓球微粒能輕易塗抹並與皮膚融合,可 視乎要求來提亮突出輪廓;由於是蜜粉,即使是較油的膚質,也 不會使用如乳霜性質產品般因出汗而浮起或顯得更油膩。當中的 珍珠粉末非常細緻,擁有乳霜性質產品的柔和光澤,能經常保持 明亮潔淨的效果。

eG: What about contouring? F: This can be up for a debate as I know some ladies love contouring and some hate it. Contouring can be helpful not just to create cheekbones and structure, but also to create a more rounded profile. If you have a very square jaw, you can use shading in a clever way to try to move the shadow from the hard jawline upward to shave off the harshness. As for the nose, there are two contouring tones, a darker creamy tone and a lighter taupe that is semi-shimmery. Depending on your skin tone, you can use one of them on its own, or blend them as a two-step process to shape the sides of the nose. eG: How should we apply it for a natural daytime look? F: Soft brushes are nice to apply with as the product is buildable, and you don’t want to go in too strong too quickly. Sweep on the colour carefully and perfectly so that it can be added gradually. A longer-haired kabuki brush, or anything with a soft flexible feeling is ideal for blush and highlight as these brushes make for a delicate application. eG: How about for an evening/going-out look? F: You can use the palette on your eyes even though it is billed as a face palette. A smoky eyeshadow look can be created with the taupe shade. You can apply with a finger or a brush to smoke out the eyelids. Because it is the same colour tone as your face, it looks really natural. Then, you can put one of the highlighters on the lid and/or the corner of the eyes for a great brightening effect. And with the big mirror in the compact, it is handy to keep in your purse for an easy day-to-night transformation. eG: Can I use it if I have oily skin? F: Generally there are certain areas of your face that could be greasier, such as around the nose or on the T-zone, and you should avoid putting glow products there anyway. Highlighters are generally meant to be used on the top of cheekbone, cupid’s bow and the nose bridge. The great thing about this palette is that the highlighters are powders, so even if your skin is oilier, the product won’t move, unlike cream-based products that may move as you sweat or get greasier. That being said, the pearls in this product are so fine, it has the gentle glow of a cream-based product. It will always go on super sheer, glowy and clean. ELITEGEN

this professional-grade roller was created in toronto, respecting the art and principles of traditional chinese medicine while utilizing today’s technology, to craft a quiet, no-squeak and wobble-free mechanism. In addition to the traditional smooth stone for gentle massaging, it has a ridged end that can be used as a non-invasive form of micro-needling. Use the latter over the lymph nodes along the neck and clavicles, as well as all over the body for effective drainage and deep, targeted relief of sore muscles and inflammation. 面部及身體按摩滾輪,備有蛋白石、玫瑰石英、黑曜 石及綠砂金石供選擇 Happy Duo Texture Facial and Body Roller (available in opalite, rose quartz, obsidian and green adventurine), $48

this eye serum comes in a unique applicator that is a feat of engineering. ten independent ceramic micro-pearls with 360° rotation are integrated into a massaging head gilded with fine gold, offering the equivalent of 10 simultaneous micro-massages. the massage surface is three times larger than with fingertip application, and is more efficient in draining puffiness and alleviating dark circles than with single roll-on beads. 眼霜 Dior Prestige Illuminating Micro-Nutritive Eye Serum, $269

造型髮夾

捲髮神器

“happIness Is free, cUrly haIr”

無論是吹頭或為頭髮造型,髮夾都是不可缺 少的工具,可是大部份髮夾的設計都十分差劣。 設計單薄的經常下滑,夾得太緊的又會在頭髮留 下痕跡。這一組髮夾的柄有紋理,容易抓緊。 呈彎曲的開口位及凹陷的中間部份可夾住更大範 圍的頭髮,無齒式表面能固定頭髮之餘又不會留 印。

styling clips are indispensable for blow-drying hair and creating other styles, but often they are poorly designed. the weaklings tend to slip, while the stronger ones can leave marks on your freshly styled mane. these clips have a textured handle that is easy to grip. the curved opening and concave bill can gather large sections of hair, and the no-teeth surface provides a strong hold, yet will not crease the hair. 造型髮夾 (一組6支) Moroccanoil Styling Clips (pack of six), $56

這款自動捲髮器把無線技術推至更高層次, 它使用高效能鋰電池,溫度可高達400° F,更可 用USB充電,電量可維持1小時。預熱時間亦大 大縮短,只需60秒或更短時間便可使用。捲髮 器備有不同的溫度及時間設定,亦可選擇捲髮方 向,讓妳輕鬆打造鬈髮造型。

taking cordless technology to a whole new level, this auto-curler uses high-performance lithium batteries capable of heating up to 400°f, which can be recharged using a UsB connection and last for up to an hour per styling session. and there is less waiting, too, for it heats up quickly and is ready to use in 60 seconds or less. With multiple temperature and timer settings, and a choice of curl directions, it is easy to create professional results. 自動捲髮器 Conair Unbound Auto Curler, $129.99

妳有沒有想過何解美人魚總是束著一把長長 的秀髮?或許她們都有自家的美髮竅門。梳頭有 助把油脂帶到髮端從而滋潤秀髮、促進頭皮的微 循環、去除雜質及死皮,更可減少洗頭的次數。 這把梳以野豬鬃毛製成,蘊含角蛋白,成分跟人 的頭髮十分相似。梳理頭髮的同時把油脂從髮根 帶至髮端,令秀髮散發自然亮麗,而末端呈圓形 有助刺激頭皮。木荷梳把耐用美觀。

第三代Steampod蒸氣直髮夾讓妳輕鬆夾直 或捲曲頭髮,又無需擔心高溫令頭髮受損。最新 設計比上一代輕37%,水箱的存水量足夠夾直 192米的頭髮而無需加水,即差不多4個巴黎凱旋 門的高度。它比傳統的直髮夾的速度快2倍,同 時對頭髮的損害減少78%,而且機身輕巧,帶去 旅行亦無問題。其電線更可360度轉動,可輕鬆 捲出不同造型的鬈髮。

have you ever wondered why mermaids are often depicted combing down their hair? they may know a thing or two about keeping their tresses beautiful. Brushing your hair helps distribute sebum to the tips for nourishment, it stimulates micro-circulation in the scalp, and clears impurities and dead skin cells. It also allows for hair to be washed less often. the wild boar bristles on this brush contain keratin and are similar to the composition of hair. they help to gently style the hair while distributing the sebum from roots to the ends for naturally shiny hair, while the blue ball tips help to stimulate the scalp. the schima wood handle is both sturdy and beautifully finished.

straighten or curl your hair without worrying about heat damage with the third-generation steampod. It is 37 per cent lighter now, with an integrated water tank that lets you straighten up to 192 metres of hair without having to refill it—that’s almost four times the height of the arc de triomphe. this travel-friendly styling tool straightens hair two times faster than a traditional flat iron, with 78 per cent less damage. It can also easily create different forms of waves with a 360-degree rotative cord.

新「聲」登場

Lady Gaga lends her face—and voice—to Valentino’s new scent Story | Leslie Yip Photography | Maria Moratti/Contigo/Getty Images

Voce Viva—可以解作活著的聲音又或者聲音萬歲。 大家對Valentino全新香氛的名字可以有不同的理解,但 可以肯定的是,請來Lady Gaga擔任代言人必會為新品增 添「聲」勢。 Valentino Beauty創意總監Pierpaolo Piccioli表示: 「Lady Gaga代表自由、自我意識以及純潔的心。」他續 說:「她的加入把這個項目的象徵力量提升至最高水平。 她絕對是這個世代的代表人物。」 過去十年,Lady Gaga的歌聲感動全球數以百萬計 樂迷。她憑著電影《一個巨星的誕生》(A Star is Born),成 為首位藝人在同一年贏得奧斯卡獎、艾美獎、英國電影 學院獎及金球獎。她又積極參與慈善工作,推動人與人之 間的尊重——每個人都是地球上的一份子。她告訴我們: 「要做回自己,愛惜自己,永不放棄追求夢想。」 Gaga的意大利裔背景是她跟品牌的另一個共通點, 香氛蘊含著意大利情懷。前調是意大利香檸檬、橘子及生 薑,令人聯想到西西里的果園。接著,香橙花及黃梔子花 把妳帶到托斯卡納的花田。水晶苔蘚及香草作基調,就好 像身處包圍著杜林古羅馬廢墟的古老花園。香氛是糅合了 花香、木香、清新及甜香等元素的完美結晶。 瓶身設計展現了意大利匠心獨運的設計及工藝。簡 單的方形瓶身兩側凹陷,當光線穿過時V字字樣會巧妙地 呈現。瓶蓋及瓶頸飾以Valentino標誌性的鍋釘及紅色, 粉絲相信會非常受落。

Voce Viva! Should I translate that to “the living voice”, “the voice lives”, or “long live the voice?” While the name of Valentino’s new perfume may be open to various interpretations, one thing is unmistakable: having Lady Gaga as the face and the voice of the new scent hits all the right notes. “Lady Gaga means freedom, self-consciousness, pure heart,” says Pierpaolo Piccioli, creative director of Valentino Beauty. “Her participation in this campaign elevates the symbolic power of the project to the highest level. She is the icon of a generation.” The voice of a generation, Lady Gaga has inspired millions of people around the world for more than a decade. She is the only artist to receive an Oscar, Grammy, BAFTA and Golden Globe in the same year for her outstanding work in A Star is Born. Her philanthropic work has also made her a symbol of respect for individuality—everyone has a place in the world. She tells us: “Be yourself, love who you are, and never give up on your dreams.” Another commonality she shares with the brand is her Italian heritage. The scent itself also encapsulates the spirit of Italy. It opens with Italian bergamot, mandarin orange and ginger, evoking an orchard in Sicily, before orange blossom absolute and yellow gardenia transport you to the flower fields of Tuscany. Crystallized moss and vanilla ground the experience, like the ancient gardens surrounding the Roman ruins in Turin. The result is an artful composition of floral, woody, fresh and sweet elements.

Valentino Voce Viva eau de Parfum, 50ml | $123, 100ml | $165

Italian craftsmanship and design ingenuity also comes into play. The sleek square glass bottle is notched on the sides, and when light passes through, a V of light emerges—quite a mesmerizing effect. Fans of the brand will also love the detail on the cap and collar, decorated with the iconic Valentino rock studs and in unmistakable Valentino red.

Fu Jing on a rocket ride to fame

Story | Qian Lu

Photography | LewisChanX

兩年多前,一個叫傅菁的普通女孩參加了中國偶 像女團競演真人秀《創造101》,她懵懂、激動、緊張、 害怕……。她心裏一直在嘀咕:“會不會有人質疑我不 自量力?”“會不會被別人說,妳把野心寫在臉上?” 其實,25歲的傅菁並不認為“野心”二字是貶義 的,「有野心沒有錯,每個人都有野心,就看你去不去 做。」她的初衷就是希望自己能勇敢一點,讓更多的人 認識自己、了解自己。她知道,只有被別人看到,才 能有更多的機會,她想把握住這次被看見的機會,「如 果說,單純地想讓自己變得越來越自信、越來越好,也 算是野心的話,那我覺得大家就說傅菁是個有野心的人 吧!」她將這個「沖動之舉」視作建立自信的第一步。

Two years ago, Fu Jing was green and anxious as a young singer, but excited nevertheless, performimg on China’s Creation 101 reality show. “Will they question my capability?” Fu mused at the time. “Will they think that I am overambitious?” In retrospect, Fu doesn’t think having ambition is a negative trait. Just the opposite, in fact. “There is nothing wrong with being ambitious,” says the 25 year old. “Everyone has it; it all depends on whether you go after it or not.”

2019年1月12日,《火箭少女101飛行演唱會》在上海舉行,那是 她們的第一場演唱會。在個人展示環節,傅菁身著亮片長裙演唱了一 曲《說散就散》。傅菁說自己能聽到臺下粉絲的合唱,但再多的感受就 只剩下緊張,「我時時刻刻都緊張,第一次站在那麽大的舞臺上一個人 唱歌,真的很沒有安全感。」 而在今年6月23日的團體告別演唱會中,傅菁在表演個人單曲《阿 麗塔》前剖白道:「那個曾經想要跳出舒適圈,想要和自己和解的小 傅,今天也勇敢地站上這個舞臺和大家說,我很自信。」她已經不再是 過去那個獨自面對舞臺時缺乏安全感的女孩了。

不偏科 慢慢走 剛成團時,傅菁周圍出現了很多聲音,網絡上有觀眾評價她沒 有特點。傅菁起初也苦惱過如何找準自己的定位,但她很快就不再糾 結,她要做「不偏科的全能偶像」。爭取做到沒有短板,在拓展其它領 域的同時,也不能落下原先的優勢,這是她對自己的要求。 傅菁現在的微博認證是:歌手、演員。去年,她多了演員的新身 分,《你是我的命中註定》在視頻平臺上線,古裝劇《且聽鳳鳴》也已與 觀眾見面。偶像為什麽要去演戲?面對這樣的質疑,傅菁的回答是: 人要不斷去提升自己,去嘗試新的領域。演戲是傅菁的主動選擇,嘗 試過後,她發現自己喜歡這種可以體驗不同人生的感覺。 音樂方面,傅菁已於6月29日發表了首張個人EP《發光體》的第一 首歌《硝煙四起》,另外兩首《發光體》、《荒唐》也在7月發布。她暫時還 不想去定義未來的路和方向,也不想給自己設限,歌手和演員這兩個 身分她想要「兩手抓」。

Fu quickly realized that what she really needed to do was become more courageous if she was to step up and be a true performer. She knew that if she could showcase her talent through this show, it would open many doors. It was Jan 12, 2019 when her female group Trainee 18 hosted its first show, Rocket Girl Aviation 101 Concert, in Shanghai. During her solo session, Fu sang her favourite song, “Adjournment”. She could hear her fans singing along in the audience, yet she was so nervous. “That was the first time I had sung solo on such a huge stage,” says Fu. “I felt timid and insecure.” Nevertheless, during this year’s group farewell concert on June 23rd, Fu confessed before singing her single “Alita”: “The junior me who wanted to leave behind my comfort zone and reconcile is now standing tall and bold on this stage announcing that, I am proud and confident.”

SoArINg STEADIly When the group was first formed, it received mixed reviews, especially online. A number of comments suggested Fu’s performances lacked character. How far off that observation was as today she has become a full-on super idol. She thrives to develop new performance horizons and, at the same time, maintain her humble beginnings without losing sight of her goals. Performing since she was a child, Fu trained in folk and classical dance during her teens. However, she says her family never saw a career for her in the performing arts. Even when she auditioned for Creation 101 and quickly advanced to the final, then signed a recording contract, she says it all came as a big surprise to many.

人生最後才是句號 傅菁從小就喜歡唱歌跳舞,十來歲學習民族舞 和古典舞,但家人沒想過要把她往文藝方向培養, 參加《創造101》海選,一路走到決賽並順利簽約算是 個「意外」。成為練習生,由《創造101》入選偶像女團 「火箭少女101」,傅菁自己也沒有想到能一步步走到 今天。作為限定偶像團體,「火箭少女101」已正式解 散,但對傅菁而言,人生到最後才是句號,「火箭少 女101」的終結只是個小逗號,是暫時的停頓休整, 也是全新的起點。 有人說,「火箭少女101」中大多數成員的第一個 事業巔峰就是在限定團期間。傅菁對「巔峰」有自己的 解讀:「我不認為一定要說什麽巔峰不巔峰的,我倒 不希望自己有巔峰。」她甚至覺得巔峰有些可怕,因 為站得越高,所承受的壓力也越大,她更願意慢慢 走,「平穩地走著,慢慢地一層一層走上去」。

Even when she was selected to join Rocket Girl 101, Fu never imagined what she would go on to achieve. When the group officially disbanded, it was only the end of her first chapter—the best was yet to come. on Weibo, Fu is labelled as: singer and actor. last year, she did indeed expand her horizons, acting in the online drama We Were Meant to B, as well as the costumed drama Listen to the Phoenix. So what prompted this super idol to branch off into acting? Fu asserts with conviction that one should constantly strive to improve oneself and expand personal boundaries. She followed her heart and made the choice. Now she’s experiencing a different life professionally—and enjoying every moment. As for her music, this past summer Fu released her first solo EP single “Smoke Arise” followed by two more songs, “luminous Body” and “Absurdity”. In the meantime, she plans to live up to her roles as a singer and actor as much as she can.

The passing in October of famed Japanese-French designer Kenzo Takada from complications from Covid-19 sent shockwaves through the fashion world. Takada’s contributions to ready-to-wear are legendary and his influence on high-style will live on. “His amazing energy, kindness, talent and smile were contagious,” said Kenzo artistic director Felipe Oliveira Baptista, who unveiled the bee-themed collection to fashion editors in October. “His kindred spirit will live forever.” Though Takada retired from his own house in 1999, after being bought out in 1993 by French luxury goods company LVMH, Kenzo remained one of the world’s most respected fashion icons. “Kenzo Takada has, from the 1970s, infused into fashion a tone of poetic lightness and sweet freedom, which inspired many designers after him,” said Bernard Arnault, chairman and chief executive of LVMH. Rest In Peace monsieur Kenzo.

珍•飾 精巧工藝串起珍貴回憶 Pandora串飾手鏈20周年慶 Pandora jewellery celebrates 20 years of self-expression and hand craftsmanship Story | Leslie Yip Photography | Simon J Boucher-Harris Styling | Leslie Yip Hmua | Jennifer Poh Assist | Ray Baldeo Model | Alyssa Lau 不知不覺,原來我的第一條Pandora串飾手鏈已經 有12年歷史了。巴黎鐵塔及行李箱代表著我對旅行的熱 愛,兩隻狗仔串飾代表我的兩隻「毛孩」(永遠懷念你們, Sylvie和Bricot),還有代表我的處女座浮雕。

I still remember my first Pandora charm bracelet from 12 years ago. there is an Eiffel tower and a suitcase charm to speak for my love of travelling, a dog house and a sitting puppy to represent my two dogs then, (both, alas, have gone to the other side of the rainbow bridge), and a dangling shell cameostyle virgo bibelot, my astrological sign.

之後我為手鏈添加了更多串飾,每一個都代表著我 生命中一個特別的時刻。

more baubles have been added to the accolade subsequently, and each one represents a special moment in my life.


iconic and Timeless 蛇紋鏈是Pandora Moments手鏈系列中的主打設計。 為配合20周年慶,Pandora的設計團隊特別利用蛇鏈的設計 元素打造全新手鏈、串飾、吊飾、耳環及戒指。全新系列飾 品設計出色,富時尚感又永不過時,突顯個性得來又易於 配搭。 搭配之道:以密鑲寶石蛇鏈紋三圈戒指當作頸鏈吊飾 配戴,表達時尚宣言。三圈戒指以經典Pandora Moments蛇 鏈系列為靈感,選用純銀以手工綴飾而成,鑲嵌透明立方氧 化鋯石。其中一個環圈飾以蛇鏈紋理,中間升起的環圈鑲滿 寶石,另一個環圈集合這兩種質感。可配襯同系列的其它飾 品塑造完美造型。

The snake chain is the defining feature of the original Pandora Moments bracelet. As part of the 20th anniversary celebration, Pandora’s design team distills the snake chain’s essence and find new ways to apply its pattern to the new bracelets, charms, pendants, earrings and a ring. The result is a range of beautiful, wearable jewellery that feels modern yet timeless, edgy yet versatile.

How to wear: Make a statement by wearing the Triple Band Pavé Snake Chain Pattern ring as a pendant. Inspired by the iconic Pandora Moments snake chain bracelets, this three-band ring is hand-finished in sterling silver and includes clear cubic zirconia. One ring is covered in a snake chain pattern, the elevated middle ring is completely embellished with stones, while the other ring features a mixture of both textures.

相信很多喜歡Pandora首飾的朋友都跟我一樣,認為串飾手鏈不僅是飾物,它更在數說自己生 命的故事。每個串飾都有特別意義,加起來就好像古時的結繩一樣,記載自己的經歷及里程碑,每 條手鏈都獨一無二。

來自哥本哈根的愛 今年Pandora也迎來了自己的里程碑,這款深受全球粉絲喜愛,讓他們透過自由配搭飾品去呈 現真我的串飾手鏈踏入20周年慶。由一家丹麥首飾小店開始,經過多年努力發展成今天全球首屈一 指的首飾品牌,單是去年已經售出九千六百萬件飾品。 品牌故事由1982年說起,當時丹麥金匠Per Enevoldsen與妻子Winnie遠赴泰國為自己的小店 訪尋工藝精緻的飾品。數年後,首位品牌自家設計師加盟,自此Pandora專注設計自家飾品。直至 2000年,個性化串飾飾品概念正式面世,並一直流行至今。

I believe that many fellow Pandora jewellery fans share my sentiment that their charm bracelets are so much more than sheer ornaments. Rather, they tell the story of their lives. Each charm has its special meanings, and together, they become somewhat of a quipu, a knotted string record of personal stories and landmarks, and each collection is unique to its owner.

FRom CoPEnhagEn, wIth lovE the Pandora brand itself is celebrating a milestone this year—the iconic Pandora moments charm bracelet, globally renowned and beloved for letting fans tell their stories and express their true self through jewellery, is turning 20 years old. It has come a long way from a local Danish jeweller’s shop to becoming the number one jewellery brand in the world, selling 96 million pieces of jewelry just in the past year. the story began in 1982 when Danish goldsmith Per Enevoldsen and his wife winnie would travel to thailand in search of well-made jewellery for their own business. a few years later, the first in-house designer joined the company and Pandora began to focus on creating its own unique jewellery. the idea of developing a charm concept that could be styled in a personal and individual way became reality in 2000, and it’s been history ever since.

How to wear: The flatter weave gives you a sleek look that is as in ease in a boardroom as paired with a chunky wooden sweater. All available in radiant Pandora Shine, blush-pink Pandora Rose.

人手綴飾 由於泰國有大量手藝精湛的首飾工匠,而且供應貴金屬及晶石,因此品牌選擇在泰國生產他們 的設計。現時品牌在當地聘用了超過11,000名工匠,並分別於泰北清邁附近的南奔市及曼谷市郊珠 寶工業城Gemopolis設廠,廠房更獲LEED環保認證。 在製作過程中,一件珠寶平均經過25雙巧手處理,因此每款飾品均獨一無二,正如配戴 Pandora首飾的女性一樣。 自2011年開始領導品牌設計隊團的首席創意總監Stephen Fairchild說:「飾品看起來大同小 異,但微小的區別正正突顯每件飾品的獨特性。」 「製作珠寶本身是一門藝術,」他解釋道。「很多人採用自動化工序,但我們的珠寶全部是泰國的 工匠在我們先進的廠房以人手製作。我跟很多工匠已經認識多年,他們就好像家人一樣,沒有他們 就沒有我們的珠寶。」 每件飾品雖然獨一無二,但從百分百回收純銀的制作傳統,到各種象徵性圖案,如Pandora徽 記、鏤空心形、閃爍密鑲及蛇形花紋,全都體現品牌簽名式的設計元素。

A hAnDcrAFting trADition they chose to manufacture their design in thailand thanks to the highly skilled local jewellery craftspeople and supply of precious metals and gemstones. More than 11,000 people are employed there today, between the two leeD-certified crafting facilities in lamphun near chiang Mai in northern thailand and in gemopolis, a jewellery industry zone outside bangkok. Just like the women who wear Pandora jewellery, every piece is truly unique because of the handcrafting involved in the production process. An average of 25 pairs of hands contribute to creating each piece of jewellery. “though they may appear the same at first glance, each one has infinitesimal distinctions and that makes them even more special,” says Stephen Fairchild, who has creatively guided the company since 2011. “the crafting of jewellery is art in itself,” he explains. “A lot of people use automation, but we create our jewellery through the hands of the thai crafters at our own incredible facilities. i consider them family, have known many of them for years and without them we couldn’t do what we do.” each piece may be one-of-a-kind, but the brand’s signature design elements remain consistent across collections, from its 100 per cent recycled sterling silver to iconic motifs like the Pandora logo, cut-out hearts, sparkling pavé and snake chain pattern.


廿周年慶 標誌性的Pandora Moments系列串飾於2000正 式面世。為慶祝20周年及紀念過去20年的珍貴回憶, Pandora自一月開始推出2020限量版串飾系列,再現過 往深受喜愛的12個款式。限量版串飾系列於每月推出一 款,包括草莓(一月)、青蛙王子(三月)、14k金四葉草 (五月)、愛心骰子(八月)等等。每款限量版串飾均鑄有 特別的20周年紀念印及證書,而且售完即止,別具收藏 價值。 除此之外,品牌亦為20周年慶推出融入經典元素的 全新設計飾品,包括綴以新鏈扣的蛇紋鏈,與及新款蛇 鏈紋串飾、吊飾、耳環以及戒指。無論買來當作節慶禮 物,還是Pandora品牌的首份起始禮物,或是為已擁有 Pandora飾品的人增添新飾件都是不二之選。品牌新品 可瀏覽ca.pandora.net查閱。

「我對骨頭的熱愛跟所謂的毛骨悚然一點關係也沒有」, 珠寶設計師艾爾莎·柏瑞蒂曾經這樣說。 「當我還是個孩子時, 常跟著保姆去一座17世紀的卡普欽教堂的墓地,那裏到處都 用人骨作裝飾。我媽媽不得不一次又一次把我偷偷放進自己 小包包裏的骨頭送回原處。越是被禁止的事情越是會留給你 永久的記憶。」

“My love for bones has nothing macabre about it,” says jewellery designer Elsa Peretti. “As a child, I kept on visiting the cemetery of a 17th-century Capuchin church with my nanny. All the rooms were decorated with human bones. My mother had to send me back, time and again, with a stolen bone in my little purse. Things that are forbidden remain with you forever.”

柏瑞蒂於1974年加入蒂芙尼公司,她的設計著眼於女性,並堅信 珠寶應該既美麗迷人又佩戴舒適,二者缺一不可。在1970年代女權主 義風行,女性追求更大平等權利的高峰時期,柏瑞蒂開創性地設計了 開口手鐲,她要女性在輕鬆自如之中顯示覺醒的力量。超越時空局限 的開口手鐲引領了一次珠寶設計革新,從它誕生的那天起,就備受女 性推崇。

Peretti, who joined Tiffany & Co. in 1974, designs with the woman in mind and the belief that jewellery should be equally captivating and comfortable to wear. Her groundbreaking bone cuff design was introduced in the 1970s at the height of feminism and the pursuit of greater equal rights. Powerfully feminine with an effortless ease, the timeless bone cuff is a design innovation that’s been revered by women since it was first introduced.

今年是開口手鐲誕生50周年,蒂芙尼為此推出開口手鐲彩色及 寶石鑲嵌特別版,向傳奇致敬。柏瑞蒂的設計顛覆了珠寶的概念,將 珠寶首飾變得簡潔和充滿裝飾性,賦予了它全新的佩戴方式,與此同 時,讓佩戴它的女性更堅強更自信。

To honor the 50th anniversary of this timeless design icon, the bone cuff is reimagined in special edition colors and new carved stone styles. Peretti’s designs have changed the notion of jewellery as simply adornment, subverting how it is worn while empowering women.

The artistic journey of renowned French jewellery designer Frédéric Zaavy is finally told in Stardust, a new book by Gilles Hertzog, John Taylor and Dianne Dubler. EliteGen recently spoke to the late designer’s professional and life partner, Lisa Chen, to find out more about Zaavy’s legendary works. Zaavy once said: “To me there are two very important things: colour and light. The connection between colour and light is impression. I want to create examples of impressionism.” No surprise that his Nymphéa bracelet was inspired by Monet’s famous impressionistic Water Lilies paintings. Osther vivid designs like his Iris bracelet and Millennium flower brooch have had lasting impact. “This is where impressionism comes to work,” Zaavy once said. “To me, stones are impressions. Every stone has its importance. Stones bring oxygen to a piece. This is totally about impressionism—about my impression towards the piece and towards my world.”

FaSCINaTED by NaTurE Zaavy, a third generation Paris diamond merchant who lost his battle with cancer in 2011 at the age of 46, travelled around the world to stay close to nature and absorb the essence of cultural heritage. Chen says Zaavy loved flowers and drew endless inspiration from delicate blooms, nature and impressionist paintings. Zaavy knew full well that his designs did not connect with trendy, contemporary jewellery designs of the day. but he was fine with that, paying tribute to the art of the French royal court and it’s regal jewellery of the 18th and 19th centuries.


Frédéric Zaavy(1964年10月9日-2011年9月15 日),法國著名高定珠寶設計師,成為俄國王室禦 用珠寶品牌Fabergé於2009年重開時的首個專屬設 計師。代表作品有鳶尾花胸針、睡蓮手環、海馬胸 針、空間戒,及緞帶系列、傳說系列珠寶。 Frédéric Zaavy (Oct 9, 1964-Sept 15, 2011), was a high jewellery designer from France and the first master of the Russian royal jewellery house Fabergé when it reopened in 2009. The Iris brooch, the Nympheas bracelet, the Seahorse brooch, the Space ring, the Ribbon Series and The Legend Series, were just some of his masterpieces. ELITEGEN

Frédéric Zaavy生前的生活伴侶和生意夥伴。兩人於1992年在美國因寶石 而相遇。1993年Zaavy回到巴黎,開始巴黎臺灣兩邊飛,兩人開始交往。 1999年,兩人的兒子出生。 Lisa Chen was Frédéric Zaavy’s professional and personal partner. They met in the U.S. in 1992 through their mutual interest in gemstones. Zaavy returned to Paris in 1993, but maintained the relationship by shuttling between Paris and Taiwan. In 1999, their son was born.

Zaavy自認為他的珠寶作品和現代工藝並不大有關聯,因為 他採用的是法國古典皇室珠寶的傳統工藝,追求精緻華美的極 致,向十八、十九世紀法國皇室珠寶致敬。 原料一定要是最頂級的寶石,從寶石本身的品質到切割, 都要相當完美。Zaavy的珠寶將一顆顆精彩的寶石當作顏料來創 作,難度較繪畫更高,繪畫上的色點下筆而就,珠寶上的色點, 卻是要走過迢迢長路才可達到,而為了那個色點,總是在買寶 石、累積寶石。Lisa透露,有時候,Zaavy會直接拿顏色對的大 寶石來切磨,為了釋放寶石最美的光芒,去做這種「殘酷」的事。 Lisa驕傲地說,Zaavy珠寶的製作工藝可以用「工不厭精」四 個字形容,鑲嵌師傅經常要在30倍放大鏡下工作,不但每個面 都用寶石滿滿鋪鑲,有時連小小的鑲爪也鑲上了寶石。有些作品 上,寶石的鑲爪精簡到只需兩個,就能達到平衡及牢固;還能夠 只用兩顆鑲爪,就固定住寶石桌面互呈90度角的兩顆寶石。鑲爪 用到最簡,單位面積內因此可以容納最多的寶石。而且不論是怎 樣的角度、彎曲度,都不用金屬帶過,而是紮紮實實滿鋪,連內 部都不放過。如何鑲嵌,有的迄今仍是師傅才知曉的秘密。 「我們做過一件名為《睡蓮》的手環,靈感源自莫內的畫作, 鑲嵌的寶石僅有0.6毫米,那是極小的顆粒。然而透過顏色和光影 的設計,手環的表面感覺上便有了3毫米的厚度。Zaavy希望這只 手環正反兩面都可配戴,為此請到一位瑞士的技師解決了技術上 的難題。兩位師傅在上面花了一年的時間,還好,這件作品最終 完成。那只手環的結構是一段扣接一段,攤開來平順無縫;鑲嵌 的寶石則緊密相挨或層疊。佩戴起來,柔軟服貼,不見任何縫隙。 還有一件作品,造型是綻放的牡丹,每片花瓣上下均需滿滿 鑲嵌寶石,為了不讓寶石底部碰在一起,上下兩側鑲嵌的工法和 形式不同,這件作品花了七年的時間才完成」

From the quality of the gems to the cutting, Zaavy settled for nothing less than perfection. Each stone was like a paint from his artistic palette. using gemstones to achieve the desired colour profile is a long, drawn-out process, beginning with sourcing and collecting the right gems. Chen says Zaavy would sometimes “brutally” cut right into the raw stone to release its beautiful light. She is proud that his works were a hallmark of a tireless pursuit of the highest form of artistry. Master setters often had to use 30X zoom to pave every surface of a design, even on miniscule claws. On some pieces, only two claws were required to tightly and evenly set a stone, or two stones were set together on a 90-degree angle.

a SECrET THaT rEMaINS WITH THE MaSTErS Minimizing the number of claws created more room for paving gemstones smoothly at various angles or curvatures. This feat remains a trade secret of the masters. “Our masterpiece, the Nymphéas bracelet, was inspired by a Monet painting,” Chen says. “The gemstones are as small as 0.6mm. They are tiny, yet through colours and light, they feel like threecentimetre stones on the surface of the bracelet.” Zaavy wanted the bracelet to be worn on either side so he invited a Swiss artisan to resolve the technical issues. They spent more than a year working on it. What they eventually came up with was a bracelet constructed link by link that draped perfectly on the wrist. “another piece takes the form of a blossoming peony,” Chen says. “Each petal is paved with precious stones. To make sure the gemstones in the base did not crush one another, different settings and designs were applied to the upper and lower sides. This piece took seven years to finish.”

用珠寶揮灑情感 在Zaavy眼裏,珠寶應被視為藝術作品,要自我表現,自我完 成。但他沒忘珠寶的本質,每件作品並非只宜靜觀,而有高佩戴性。 它們不只綻放藝術的光彩,而且隨著佩戴者的行止,閃耀出活潑的生 命力。 Fabergé的藝術總監Katharina Flohr曾評價Zaavy的作品:「這是 珠寶藝術家對完美的奉獻。他使用珠寶闡述其敏銳的眼光,如同畫家 一般,經由珠寶揮灑出動人的作品。當你將他的作品捧在手上時,情 感會不由自主地湧上心頭。」 Lisa說:「『我要成名。』是Zaavy常說的一句話,他期望浸淫在光 輝中——寶石的光輝,名聲的光輝。」求取榮譽及功名,堅持完美, 追求藝術價值,這是Zaavy一生的執著追求。他,做到了。

Zaavy perceived jewellery as an art form that expressed and completed one’s self. yet he didn’t overlook the fact that jewellery is not only to be admired, but also to be worn. and it must dazzle in artistic brilliance and sparkle with vibrancy. Fabergé artistic director Katharina Flohr describes Zaavy’s works this way: “It was his dedication to perfection and the sensitivity seen through the eye of a painter who painted with stones. It was—and indeed still is—the emotional engagement that you have when you hold a piece of his work in your hands.” Says Chen: “Zaavy always said, ‘I want to be famous.’ He wanted to submerge himself in brilliance, the glory of gemstones and of reputation.” Striving for honour and recognition, Zaavy insisted throughout his life to pursue artistic value. That, he certainly accomplished.

簡約設計精工藝

Blending aesthetics with mechanics chopard teams up with fashion house Kiton for the best of swiss haute horlogerie and italian sprezzatura 蕭邦首次與意大利大師級西裝訂製品牌Kiton 工作坊攜手合作,推出L.U.C XP Il Sarto Kiton超 薄腕錶,限量100枚。以簡約純粹的優雅特質而著 稱,L.U.C XP超薄腕錶如今換上由Kiton工作坊工 匠們量身訂製的精美「西裝」。瑞士製錶品牌與拿 坡里時裝訂製工作坊一同譜寫合作新篇章。這兩 家體現男性儒雅風範的知名家族品牌,匯聚各自 的精湛工藝,攜手創造L.U.C XP Il Sarto Kiton腕 錶。 L.U.C XP Il Sarto Kiton腕錶採用40毫米直徑 錶殼,厚度僅7.2毫米。超薄設計帶來出色的佩戴 舒適感,突顯簡約特色。這款時計黑色廓形搭配 深灰色調DLC(類碳鑽)處理微珠打磨精鋼錶殼、 錶盤和錶鏈,色調和諧一致。 經電鍍處理和漆面潤飾的黃銅錶盤上,裝飾 Kiton工作坊一眼可辨的獨特千鳥格紋圖案。深色 錶盤搭配金色阿拉伯數字和時標,以及太子妃尖 劍型指針,令時分顯示清晰可見,輕鬆讀取。 錶帶體現Kiton工作坊的精工細作,採用結合 未經化學處理的蒙古羊絨、羊毛、法蘭絨和少量 氨綸的柔軟混紡布料手工縫製,佩戴舒適,並搭 配紅色鱷魚皮襯裡,更顯奢華。腕錶另附一條黑 色鱷魚皮錶帶,同樣搭配紅色鱷魚皮襯裡。

With the L.U.C XP Il Sarto Kiton timepiece, Chopard is introducing its first partnership with the Kiton Ateliers, masters of Italian tailoring. This strictly limited edition watch in beadblasted DLC-coated steel is soberly attired with a houndstooth-patterned dial and a slate-coloured cashmere strap lined with red alligator leather. The automatic timepiece is equipped with a tungsten micro-rotor and Chopard Twin technology to ensure a power reserve that will last more than two days. The partnership between the Swiss watchmaker and the Neapolitan couturier appears to have been written in the stars. Both representing family maisons committed to the same vision of craftsmanship and tradition, these two great names have combined their know-how in creating the L.U.C XP Il Sarto Kiton watch. “L.U.C is a collection of Haute Horlogerie watches that stands out for its distinctive character,” says Chopard co-president Karl-Friedrich Scheufele. “Our partnership with Kiton is an entirely logical move, in that over the years our two family maisons have proven the excellence of their craftsmanship and their fertile creativity.” The result is a highly exclusive timepiece, produced in a numbered 100-piece limited edition. The 7.2mm, ultra-thin timepiece imposes an aura of simplicity, echoing Ciro Paone’s motto: “Elegance must be associated with simplicity.” The allure of this timepiece also lies in its chromatic uniformity: a beautiful black silhouette, subtly carved out from the slate grey shades of the beadblasted DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) steel case, dial and a strap in a soft blend of Mongolian cashmere, wool and flannel with a hint of elastane, to ensure comfort. This opulent wristband is lined with red alligator leather as is a second black alligator leather strap also sold with the model.

奢華綿延不斷

SUSTAINABLE LUXURy 瑪莉安·歌迪雅(Marion Cotillard)積極參與環保公益活動和由 蕭邦於2013年發起的「通往可持發展奢侈產業之旅」(Voyage vers un Luxe Durable),這位藝術家希望能夠製作出一套同時體現其個 人風格和推崇負責任珠寶個人理念的珠寶首飾。她與蕭邦聯合總裁 兼藝術總監卡羅琳·舍費爾(Caroline Scheufele)合作,「Ice Cube Capsule by Marion Cotillard」系列由此誕生。 從蕭邦Ice Cube系列的幾何造型及其所體現的搖滾精神中汲 取靈感,瑪莉安·歌迪雅設計了七款高級珠寶作品,採用符合倫理 道理標準的「公平採礦」認證黃金製作並鑲嵌鑽石,達到最高國際標 準。蕭邦高級珠寶工作坊由此在她指導下製作出一款戒指和六款耳 環。 Ice Cube珠寶,由呈幾何造型排列的刻面方形構成,可單獨或 混搭佩戴。這位女星大膽顛覆傳統珠寶製作規範。鑒於大自然並不 完全遵循人類所創的對稱法則,此小型系列的耳飾也截然不同,相 輔相成,適於玩味混搭佩戴方式。可以在一側的耳尖佩戴一套兩枚 的金質單鑽雙環,同時在耳垂上佩戴一枚鑲嵌公主式切割單鑽的單 環耳飾,鑽石的正方造型與雙環的刻面方形相互呼應。而在另一側 耳背可佩戴由三個單鑽環圈構成的組合式耳飾,每個環圈皆鑲嵌一 顆精巧別致的細鑽;耳垂上則佩戴鑲嵌一顆鑽石的環圈,細密的公 主式切割鑽石猶如瀑布般傾瀉而下,將承托鑽石的金質鑲座巧妙隱 藏。沒有穿耳洞的人士,這些耳飾皆採用耳夾式設計。為搭配這些 可單獨佩戴或疊戴的耳環系列,她還設計了一枚雙環戒指,鑲嵌一 顆公主式切割鑽石。

A fervent environmental activist sensitive to the journey towards sustainable luxury pursued by Chopard since 2013, actress Marion Cotillard (pictured left) came up with the idea of creating a jewellery set that would embody both her style and her personal idea of responsible jewellery. So Caroline Scheufele, Co-President and Artistic Director of Chopard, agreed to devote the expertise of her ateliers for such a purpose. The Oscar winner thus passionately devoted herself to this project, which reflects a fairer form of luxury that demonstrates concern for those who mine raw materials. Inspired by the graphic shapes and rock ‘n’ roll spirit of Chopard’s Ice Cube collection and by the idea of ethical jewellery, Marion Cotillard designed seven Haute Joaillerie creations in Fairmined-certified ethical gold and diamonds meeting the best international criteria. Under her impetus, the Chopard Haute Joaillerie atelier thus gave life to a ring and seven earrings. Marion Cotillard’s design notably reprises the Ice Cube collection’s graphic alignment of small faceted cubes, as well as the easy-going manner in which the jewellery can be worn solo or stacked. Renowned for its geometry, the collection is nevertheless infused with a wave of asymmetry that gives it an even more contemporary look and feel. The actress shows undeniable boldness in disrupting the aesthetic codes of traditional jewellery. Because nature does not confirm to the laws of symmetry invented by humankind, the earrings in her capsule collection are all different, complementary, and made to be worn as part of a mix and match game. One side features a series consisting of two connected gold rings to wear on top of the ear followed by a diamond-set counterpart; and finally, on the lobe, a princess-cut solitaire diamond with a square shape recalling the small faceted cubes of the rings. The other ear features a new combination of three rings connected via the back of the ear, each set with a small diamond, then another, also set with diamond; and finally, on the lobe, a cascade of generous princess-cut diamonds, discreetly set to entirely cover the underlying gold. All these ear jewels have been designed as clips, as Marion Cotillard intends them for non-pierced ears such as her own. Completing this series of earrings to be worn solo or stacked, she has created a ring composed of two rings connected by a princess-cut solitaire diamond.

高科技設計是不是外觀就一定要多麼Techno多 麼冷酷多麼無人性?這個問題的答案反映的不是科 技問題,而是品味問題。丹麥設計公司Bolia經常強 調自己是活用最新科技的家具設計公司。他們精於 科技,不過賣的是傳統北歐品味。 Bolia成立於2000年,現任CEO Lars Lyse經常 強調Bolia除了是設計公司,更是一間科技公司。因 為他相信技術和設計都是源於創意。創意既可以用 於設計和產品開發,也可以用於技術開發。品牌要 做的,就是如何通過科技輕鬆完成每件工作,並且 做得更好。

Established in 2000, Bolia CEO, Lars Lyse, maintains that the company is as much a design company as a technology outfit, aiming to use technology to make every task easier to maximum effect.

The braided cords used on the face of the sideboard come from the small Danish town of Randers.

Lars Lyse經常說,自己的公司永遠處於beta版 本:不停在update,變幻原是永恆。品牌作為一所 家具連鎖店,可以做到好像時裝店一樣,每年投放 大量資源為幾十間舖換款轉裝潢改佈置,完全推倒 重來!北歐已經有百多年的設計美學傳統,他們不 會亦不想改變。不過在其它範疇他們可是出盡力注 入當代創意。一間新派高科技設計公司,不用販賣 太空飛船未來家具techno款cyber look。不過擁抱科 技之外,Bolia又懂得活用傳統智慧。

Lyse loves to say the company is always in a beta state, meaning it’s being constantly reinvented; at Bolia, change is its norm. In fact, substantial investment is made each year into revamping the décor of its dozens of stores. Sure, the Scandinavian design aesthetic has been refined over more than a century. But as a high-tech design company, Bolia doesn’t need to sell UFO-like, techno-cyber futuristic furniture; it knows how to maintain traditional intelligence while embracing technology.

Its latest design is about a return to nature. Bolia’s main producers are European workshops, where all its timbers are sourced from certified European forests. As much as possible, it uses marine-friendly plastic and other renewable materials in its production. All leather materials are traceable and no hazardous chemicals are added in the production process. It insists on having the furniture assembled by professionals at the workshop to ensure they are solid and durable.

From unspoiled landscapes to a people rich in culture and customs, New Zealand’s central North Island is also where geothermal activity and highly sought-after M nuka honey is found.

紐西蘭Rotorua真的避無可避。雖然我身處距離奧克蘭東南面230公 里、北島的豐盛灣(Bay of Plenty)地區,但空氣中仍然瀰漫著濃濃的硫磺 氣味,把我緊緊包圍著。 Rotorua有硫磺之城的稱號。Rotorua這個名字來自Rotorua湖,該處 以地熱及刺鼻的氣味而聞名。硫磺排出硫化氫,形成臭雞蛋般的氣味。 遊覽當地要處處小心,不單只沸騰的硫磺溫泉不斷冒出縷縷高溫蒸 氣,Rotorua湖附近亦發現不少間歇式噴泉,酸性湖泊雖然清澈恬靜但其 實具腐蝕性,千萬不要把腳泡入湖中。一位曾到訪當地的朋友更表示, 她的衣服就算每星期清洗,但殘留的硫磺氣味在6個月後仍然不散。 Rotorua自1800年代起便是溫泉度假小鎮,景點包括植物公園、歷 史建築及超過130公里舉世聞名的越野單車徑。到訪當地的Tamaki毛利村 更可認識毛利人的傳統及文化,它更在TripAdvisor網站全球旅遊體驗中 排第七位。這個毛利村探秘之旅可了解毛利人如何透過haka戰舞及其它 形式的藝術來保育他們的m tauranga(歐洲人登陸前的知識),亦有機會 品嚐用傳統地爐炮製的美食hangi。Tawa枝繁葉茂,樹下成蔭,透過大自 然的規律我體會到人類跟大自然的親密關係(毛利語稱作kaitiakitanga), 這亦是我今次旅程的目的:探究M nuka蜂蜜的生產地及認識種植這種液 體黃金的人們。

I might be some 230 kilometres southeast of Auckland, in the Bay of Plenty Region on the North Island, but this smell—permeating and unwavering—wraps itself snuggly, like a thick cloak, around me. There’s a reason why Rotorua’s nickname is Sulphur City. Named after Lake Rotorua, the city is known for its geothermal activity and pungent smell. The latter is due to hydrogen sulphide emissions, which have the unappealing aroma of rotten eggs. If the wispy plumes of steam rising off bubbling thermal pools and geysers found near Lake Rotorua weren’t enough of a warning, then surely the clear, reflective acidic aqua lakes would deter hydrophiles from toe-dipping. A friend who had travelled through the region once told me her clothes still reeked of sulphur for six months, despite weekly washings. A spa and resort town since the 1800s, Rotorua is also home to botanical gardens, historic architecture and more than 130 kilometres of world-famous mountain biking trails. Experience the richness of M ori traditions and culture by taking a journey to Tamaki M ori Village, one of TripAdvisor’s top seven experiences in the world. Understand how the M ori protect their m tauranga (pre-European knowledge) through the haka and other art forms before feasting on a traditional geothermal hangi.

Onuku毛利土地信託公司的理事Ken Raureti跟我們分享了Tarawera火山的歷 史及文化。火山口於1886年火山爆發時形成,那次爆發淹沒了世界奇景粉色 和白色梯田,鄰近地區亦被火山灰、泥土及岩屑覆蓋,足足達20米深。 Onuku M ori Land Trust trustee Ken Raureti shares the history and cultural significance of Mount Tarawera. This crater was created from the devastating eruption in 1886, which destroyed the famed Pink and White Terraces, plus covered the surrounding area with volcanic ash, mud and debris about 20 metres deep.

Sheltered under the canopy of magnificent Tawa trees, I learn the practice of kaitiakitanga—the kinship between humans and nature, manifested through environmental stewardship. The latter is related to the reason I’m here: to learn more about M nuka honey, the land it comes from and the people who harvest the liquid gold. From the peak of Mount Ngongotah , I met the trustees of Onuku M ori Land Trust, including chairperson Moyra Te Ariki Bramley. We’re dining on a freshly prepared array of New Zealand’s prized fare—locally-sourced meats, including lamb and beef, to plump mussels, fruit and airy pavlova, and my new favourite, gold k mara (sweet potato)—at Skyline Rotorua’s Stratosfare, while enjoying a panoramic view of Lake Rotorua. I learn about the successful farming and forestry operations the Trust has developed on the volcanically active landscape since 1982, including the administration and farming of about 25 square kilometres of land that was devastated by the 1886 eruption of Mount Tarawera, just outside Rotorua. They’re also associated with the management of lands for Onuku Limited. The latter, a 100-per-cent M ori-owned company headed by trustee and shareholder Les Stowell, is best known internationally for partnering with local M ori people to source, harvest and distribute the highest quality of M nuka honey available. The brand is known for its provenance, allowing product traceability through ApiTrak, which permits direct end-user product authentication. While beekeeping has always been part of M ori life, honey harvesting has exploded in the past decade as interest in, and value of, M nuka honey grew. Prized for its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, the nectar is produced from flowers of the M nuka bush flowers, which are indigenous to New Zealand.

UMF15+等級的蜂蜜可作外敷藥物使用,對免疫系統有幫助;反 之等級較低的則適合食用或加入到其他產品之中,位於Waihua Bay的化妝品品牌Tarnz Cosmetics便把蜂蜜加入肥皂當中。 Stowell帶我們參觀Onuku部份農地,亦是採蜜的地方。作 為都市人,望著眼前延綿起伏的蔥翠密林,令人不期然深呼吸, 盡情放鬆。我即時覺得精神為之一振,享受跟大自然相處一刻。 Boundary Road農場的觀景台四周都是毛利人的圖騰柱,在那兒 可欣賞一望無際的遼闊景觀,接著往下走前往探索世界上最年輕 的地熱谷Waimangu。 我參加了Waimangu火山谷的自助導賞遊,地熱奇觀叫人嘆 為觀止。走到Emerald Lake時已經開始氣喘,湖上蓋著一層水 藻及水蘚,四周被原始森林包圍著。全世界最大溫泉Frying Pan Lake是旅程其中一個亮點,另一景點是火山口Echo Crater,不 斷噴出的硫化氫酸性極高,熱氣亦令該處長期維持55° C高溫。之

Onuku毛利土地信託公司在Waimangu之上興建了一個觀景台,並放置了兩面雕刻了 人像的圖騰柱 (Pou) ,可360度眺望公司持有的土地 (毛利語為whenua) 。Pou是雕刻木 柱,毛利人會在主要的地方放置Pou,同時代表居住在該區的人。 The lookout, built by the Onuku M ori Land Trust above Waimangu, is marked by Pou, with two-dimensional faces that watch over 360 degrees of the Trust’s whenua (land). Pou are carved wooden posts used by M ori to mark places of significance and represent all the people who lived in the area.

I learn, however, that M nuka flowers only bloom for two to six weeks of the year, during which only 10-thousand tonnes of honey are harvested. That means there is a limited supply at any given time, and honeys produced elsewhere claiming to be M nuka, or are adulterated from being blended with other non-M nuka honeys, are considered counterfeit. To ensure authenticity, consumers have to look for the official Unique M nuka Factor (UMF) grade, where quality is directly related to the rating. Of note, honeys that are UMF15+ are used as topical medicines and provide other immune system benefits, while lower grades are best for eating or integrated into products, like soaps by Tarnz Cosmetics in Waihua Bay. Stowell takes us on a private tour of parcels of Onuku lands where the honey is harvested. In contrast to the cityscapes I’m used to, the undulating and lush landscapes seem to incite deeper breaths and a release of tension. I feel instantly refreshed and rejuvenated, invested in being one with nature. Surrounded by Pous from a lookout in Boundary Road farm, we gaze at the vastness around us, then down at Waimangu, the world’s youngest geothermal valley.

Waimangu的Inferno Crater Lake火山湖自1886年Tarawera火山爆發後形成,粉藍 色的湖水就好像寶石。湖水時漲時退,水溫由35至80° C不等,酸性高達pH 2.2。 Waimangu’s Inferno Crater Lake is a pale blue gem that’s the result of the 1886 eruption of Mount Tarawera. In addition to the lake’s levels rising and falling in cycles, the water is an unassuming 35 to 80°C, with acidity up to pH 2.2.

後我繼續沿步行徑向Inferno Crater Lake進發,沿途滿佈沉澱於溪澗及 溫泉中的彩色礦石及閃爍晶石。 清澈的湖水在陽光下令人目眩,差點忘記了這裡危機四伏:熱氣 隨時會從接近沸點、酸性極高的湖面透過火山噴氣孔噴出。坐船暢遊 Lake Rotomahana可親睹西南岸的熱氣懸崖及間歇噴泉,更會經過曾 被喻為世界第八大奇景的粉色和白色梯田遺址。 小島令人又愛又怕。埋藏於地底深處的力量可於瞬間把小島摧 毀。但島上的景色又好像其特產M nuka蜂蜜一樣療癒。這裡讓人見證 大自然的美好與威力。

Later on a self-guided tour of Waimangu Volcanic Valley, I’m greeted with jaw-dropping vistas. I gasp at Emerald Lake, with its mats of algae and sphagnum moss, that is wrapped in regenerating native forest. There’s panoramic views of the world’s largest hot spring, Frying Pan Lake, within Echo Crater that’s a balmy 55°C and bubbling with highly acidic hydrogen sulphide gas. I continue to walk along trails lined with colourful mineral or gleaming silica deposited by creeks and springs until I reach Inferno Crater Lake. Lost in the glow of its crystal clear aqua waters, I’m almost impervious to the hidden danger: here, fumaroles—not wisps of angel mist—emerge from the near boiling, highly acidic lake’s surface. Then it’s a boat cruise around Lake Rotomahana to spy on steaming cliffs and geysers along the southwest shoreline, and to catch glimpses of where the legendary Pink and White Terraces, considered the eighth wonder of the world, were once visible. 養蜂人Angelas Tahere從蜂箱拉出一層格板,只見工蜂們都圍著蜂后 (點上鮮綠 色以作識別) ,並打開一小角讓蜂蜜流出,讓我們品嚐新鮮的M nuka蜂蜜。 M ori beekeeper Angelas Tahere pulls out a honey frame where worker bees surround the hive’s queen (that’s marked with a bright green dot), uncapping the wax off a portion of the frame to sample fresh M nuka honey. 90

Captivated by all this beauty, a daunting reality hits me. Despite the size of the island country, there’s an unshakable force that can erupt at any moment beneath its surface. It can be likened to the highly potent nectar collected from the M nuka bush that can be used to heal and nourish. Mother Nature is both marvellous and powerful.

酒莊成立於1731年,現在的莊園建於19世紀初,一直保存 其原來風貌。 The wine estate was set up in 1731, and the modern vineyard established in the early 19th century maintains the original appeal.

自流釀美酒

The magic of graviTy a gentler, more environmentally-friendly approach to winemaking allows for more refined flavours Story | Ivan Wong Be water my friend是李小龍生前名言。上善若 水,如水般釀酒,有其自流大法,水向下流,英文稱 之為gravity-flow winemaking。 釀製高質素酒品反樸歸真是硬道理,Gravity-flow winemaking自流釀酒法,是利用地心吸力的重量原 理,讓壓搾後的葡萄汁或發酵後葡萄原酒,在每個釀 制環節的容器之間,自然地隨著萬有引力流動,從上 而下環環相接。因此,採用此法的酒莊釀酒設施要由 高至低呈階梯狀環環緊扣。 深入點說,那就是破碎、發酵/壓榨、陳年和裝 瓶這四個程序—葡萄經篩選、去梗和破碎後,會放進 下一層的發酵桶內,發酵桶底部以一根軟管與下一層 的過濾澄清桶連接,待發酵完成後,打開閥門讓酒液 自然流到下一層。如此類推,完成發酵的酒液在澄清 桶內沉澱一段時間後,由軟管流進下一層橡木桶或不 鏽鋼桶中作熟成醞釀。之後,酒液繼續往下,從軟管 流到下一層桶中進行裝瓶前的再次過濾澄清,最後裝 瓶。整個自流釀酒法過程只靠重量原理,讓酒質更細 緻味道更自然充實,減少葡萄酒天然風味流失的機會。 法國布根地的 Bouchard Père & Fils 酒莊,建立 於工業革命興起前的1731年,釀酒理念向來崇尚大自 然,尊重上天賦予的種植葡萄的優質風土氣候。採用 自流法,原因只有一個:追求完美!

A growing trend with winemakers is all about being more hands-off, letting nature or, more specifically, gravity refine their technique. It is thought that by removing machinery like pumps or motors from the process the yield will have better fragrance and flavours. Among the many vineyards now adopting this process is Bouchard Père & Fils, in Burgundy, France. The winemaker, which dates back to 1731, is embracing the natural gravity-flow winemaking philosophy, with the utmost respect for nature and it’s gift of superior climate and grape-growing terroir. Gravity-flow winemaking has grape juice or fermented fluid flowing naturally downward from one vessel to the next. The product from each step flows through the entire process of crushing, fermenting/pressing, aging and bottling. After grapes are selected, de-stemmed and crushed, they flow to the fermenting barrels one level below. The bottom of each barrel is connected by a soft tube to a filtering barrel on the next level down. After fermenting, the valve opens to let the liquid flow to the next level. The process goes on, with the liquid flowing from the filtration barrel after a period of settling, to the oak or stainless-steel casks one level below for aging. When it’s ready for bottling, the wine flows downward for another round of filtering and then is bottled. The whole process uses gravity to enhance the wine’s delicate and wholesome flavours, with minimal loss of the grapes’ essence. Mother Nature strikes again. ELITEGEN

我工作時遇到的第一個執行編輯,是在《芝加哥論壇報》展開職業生 涯的克利夫·彼得斯。他曾於數十年前訪問過大黑幫頭子阿爾·卡邦。最 令彼得斯難忘的是卡邦泊在其芝加哥南區大宅外的凱迪拉克—一輛黑色的 V16。那是一輛獨一無二的超昂貴汽車,專門為這個被稱為「頭號公敵」的 人物度身訂造。 雖說這是陳年往事,但凱迪拉克似乎要重現這種霸氣。彼得斯為 1930年的V16所傾倒,而我則有幸透過這家公司位於底特律的總部向全球 發放的串流影片裡,首次看到這輛全新的凱迪拉克Lyriq EV跨界車。 Lyriq是通用汽車第一款全電動豪華汽車,以該公司下一代的電動汽 車平台為基礎,採用最新的Ultium電池系統驅動。這電池支援800伏特的 技術,可提供約100千瓦時的能量。 至於這款豪華SUV何時面世,通用汽車北美區總裁史蒂夫·卡萊爾表 示:「我們考慮在2022年下旬以2023年款推出。」而售價方面則未有公布。

The first managing editor I ever worked for started his career at the Chicago Tribune. His name was Cliff Peters and he once interviewed renowned gangster Al Capone at his South Side home. Peters was impressed by the car parked outside. It was a black Cadillac V16—an expensive car made-to-order for the man they called Public Enemy No. 1. But that was then. This is now and Cadillac seems to have done it again. While Cliff Peters was dazzled by that 1930 V16, I got my first glimpse of the brand spanking new Cadillac Lyriq EV crossover, which was introduced to the world recently via video streaming from the company’s headquarters in Detroit. Lyriq is GM’s first all-electric luxury automobile based on the company’s next-generation modular electric vehicle platform and is driven by its Ultium propulsion system (batteries that support 800-volt technology and store about 100 kilowatt-hours of energy). “We’re looking at a late 2022 introduction as a 2023 model,” said GM North America president Steve Carlisle. As you can imagine, Canadian pricing is not yet known. Lyriq is a show car—a concept—rather than the actual production model. A flow-through roof spoiler, a “black crystal” grille and LED lighting front and rear are pretty spectacular features. What the virtual reveal showed, executives said, was a vehicle that’s about 80 per cent of what it will end up being. ELITEGEN

Lyriq所展示的是一輛概念車,而不是實際生產的車型。它的直 通車頂擾流板、「黑水晶」面罩和前後LED車燈非常引人注目。據車 廠高層稱,虛擬車所展示的設計,最終會有80%得以在量產車中落 實。

In the video, Carlisle says Cadillac will be led by the Lyriq as the company redefines luxury over the next decade with a new portfolio of transformative EVs. It’s the first of what GM is promising will be 20 EVs for sale around the world by 2023.

卡萊爾在影片中表示,從Lyriq開始,凱迪拉克將在未來的十年 通過全新改造的電動車陣容重新定義豪華。通用承諾到2023年,會 在全球推出20款電動車,而Lyriq將會是第一款。

Cadillac says its internal testing shows the Lyriq will go nearly 500 kilometres (485 kms to be exact) on a full charge, which means a non-stop drive between Toronto and Ottawa, for example. Other technology and performance highlights include:

據廠方稱,經過內部測試,Lyriq充滿電後可行駛近500公里(確 實數字是485公里)。其它科技和性能的亮點包括:

• Charging options for home, the workplace and the road, including DC fast-charging at more than 150 kilowatts and Level 1 and 2 charging rates up to 19 kW2.

• Two drivetrains will be available: rear-wheel drive will be on all models, but you can pay extra to have performance all-wheel drive (a second drive unit will be placed at the front). The latest version of Super Cruise will be on the car, the first truly handsfree driver assistance feature recently enhanced to include automated lane change and remote self-parking. And Lyriq will recognize the driver as he/ she approaches and automatically adjust seat, mirror and climate-control systems. A 33-inch diagonal advanced LED screen will span the entire viewing area of the driver and contain every bit of driver information imaginable, as well as infotainment info and controls. A 19-speaker AKG studio system is an enticing option, and the EV will introduce a new road-noise cancellation technology to keep the cabin so ultra-quiet that you’ll be able to listen to Saturday Afternoon at the Met and not be disturbed. “Lyriq was conceived to make every journey exhilarating and to drive the brand into a new era, while rewarding passengers with a more personal, connected and immersive experience,” said Jamie Brewer, chief engineer on the Lyriq project. “It is not only an exceptional EV, but first and foremost a Cadillac.”

遊戲電視 越玩越大

The next big thing in TVs

Story | Kelvin Wu 疫情期間乖乖留在家中,打電玩變成許多人日常生活的一部份。 今年11月遊戲界將出現大顛覆,Play Station 5與Xbox Series X 差不多同時推出,除了用經典系列作招徠,最大話題是遊戲畫質竟 一下子衝向4K至8K境界。預售斷市買不到新機的玩家當然沒趣,但 買到的,也正頭痛現有的電視未能配合新機最大輸出。 兩部新機同時將起點設於4K及120 Hz畫速,但對於高要求 玩家,必然會盡用其8K 7680 x 4320的極限。而8K畫面更須配合 HDMI 2.1的新科技,搜索之下發現HDMI 2.1的電視並不算多,而達 8K的選擇更是寥寥可數。 其中,Samsung的Q900系列,8K畫質的QLED電視,除符合 以上條件,QLED科技利用量子點科技,比傳統LCD電視在顏色、光 度及暗度皆大幅提升,對遊戲的電影感及寫實感甚有幫助。而且其 98吋電視更是市面上的最大8K選擇,可說是遊戲迷的夢幻之選。

Video gaming has become a big part of many people’s lives, arguably more so as a result of the Covid-19 shutdown. While Play Station 5 is currently the biggest hit, people are looking for something even “bigger”, like a smart TV with the latest technologies that can maximize PS5’s output. Play Station 5 from Sony and Xbox Series X started a new age of video gaming. Other than their exclusive lineup of great games, the new benchmark of graphic output had been the hottest topic—4K gaming at 120 Hz, able to handle much higher resolution, with games playable at 8K Ultra HD or 7680 × 4320 pixels. Besides, HDMI 2.1 connection is a must for 8K gaming, yet another reason for an upgrade. There are not too many options on the market yet. For Samsung, HDMI 2.1 is only available on their Q90 series, while 8K is only available with Q900 TVs. Samsung’s QLED technology uses quantum-dot enhancement to deliver boosted colour and brightness, and black levels that surpass those of any traditional LCD TV.
