暖意將臨 hope ahead !

"Spring will come and so will happiness. Hold on. Life will get warmer.” —Motivational poet Anita Krizzan

春天將臨，幸福將臨，堅持，等待，生活的暖意也 將來臨。 ——勵志詩人Anita Krizzan 被疫情隔離的生活已有一年，記得去年的此時我正 在為飛赴巴黎參加2020年秋冬時裝周作準備，疫情開始 變得令人難以捉摸，Giorgio Armani宣佈取消他的米蘭 發佈會，而法國的新冠感染病例與日俱增。 我 的 法 國 之旅仍然成行，旅行結束後，為安全起 見，回到家我堅持作了14天的自我隔離。也就在隔離的 第一周，加拿大開始封城，直至五月下旬我才有機會再 次回到辦公室。對這個工作了8年的小天地我曾是那麼的 熟悉一如自己的手掌，再次踏足此地，卻倏然有了種陌 生感……。哦，我的桌上擺着一台嶄新的電腦顯示屏， 這還是我去巴黎之前申請的新設備，足足三個月之後才 跟它有了第一次照面，原來如此！ 是 啊 ， 整 個世界都在變，方方面面都是如此。就 拿時尚圈來說，設計師們將他們的作品搬到了網上， Jeremy Scott以視頻方式發佈了他的Moschino 2021年春 季系列，秀場上模特被人偶取而代之。同樣，Chanel的 Métiers d’ Art系列大秀只有一位現場觀眾——品牌大使 Kristen Stewart。不過，這不會難倒我們，這個從傳奇 「貴婦堡」 中汲取靈感的系列在本期雜誌裡得以精彩展現。 人們的購物習慣也在改變，雖然西裝、高跟鞋可能 現時都在衣帽間裡蒙塵，但零售業卻錄得可喜數字—— 人們需要在一個接一個的Zoom會議上衣裝鮮亮。賣得較 少，自然品質要較高，精美的設計，細緻的做工，哪怕 多花點錢也值得。追上今春最新的時尚，我們為您包羅 萬象。 休閒方式不會沒有調整，不能外出就餐，美味佳餚 叫外賣也能享受到。再者，捲起衣袖自己動手，跟着我 們向您推介的頂級大廚學習烹飪手藝，菜鳥變廚神， 其中大有樂趣。要是把我們的居所營造得如Concord Bridge的空中城堡一樣炫酷，您一定不會對居家生活感 到煩悶。如果實在是旅遊之癢難耐，就去魁北克的薩格 奈峽灣，在針葉林中穿行，於勞倫斯河中浮潛。 但 願 本 期 雜誌能給您送去些許安慰和鼓舞。春將 臨，張開我們的雙臂去擁抱陽光擁抱溫暖擁抱希望。

2021

March 2021 marks the first anniversary when pandemic panic hit the globe. I still remember getting increasingly wary while preparing for my trip to Paris for the Fall/Winter 2020 Fashion Week. Giorgio Armani just announced he was cancelling his show in Milan, and France was reporting increasing numbers of cases.

I still made the trip to France, and when I returned, I insisted on self-isolating for 14 days, just to be safe. Then, exactly a week into my voluntary self-quarantine, Canada went into lockdown. It was not until late May when I set foot in my office again. I have worked in that office for almost eight years, so I should know it like the back of my hand, but it felt strange… until I realized that it was because there was a new computer monitor on my desk, one that I had asked for but didn’t get to see it until three months later.

Yes, the world has changed in so many ways. On the fashion front, designers began taking their shows online. Some got creative: designer Jeremy Scott released his Moschino Spring 2021 collection via film format, and instead of models on a catwalk, he dressed marionette dolls in his new collection. Meanwhile, Chanel showed its Métiers d’Art collection to just one live audience—brand ambassador Kristen Stewart had the whole front row, in fact, all the rows to herself. But that didn’t stop us from bringing you the collection inspired by the fabled Chateau de Chenonceau.

Our shopping habits, too, have changed. Suits and heels may be gathering dust in the closet, but retailers are reporting a soar in the sales of tops—we still want to look sharp on those never-ending Zoom meetings. We may be buying fewer items, but we are buying better—instead of 10 casual purchases, we prefer to invest in higher quality, craftsmanship and design. And our early spring fashion guide will keep you abreast of the best trends of the season.

Leisure time has also had an adjustment. We may not be dining out quite yet, but that hasn’t stopped us from seeking out the best that takeout has to offer. We even roll up our sleeves to try our own hand in the kitchen. For all you budding home chefs, our gourmet kitchen and pantry feature will surely elevate your next dine-in meal to a whole new culinary level. Now if only our own kitchen and living space was as cool as the Concord Bridge Suite featured in our special supplement. And if you are still itching to travel, why not explore our own country? Saguenay in Québec is one of the most beautiful places in Canada, with historic villages, wild fjords and a majestic coastline.

We hope this issue finds you happy and filled with inspriation. Spring is coming, so get ready to embrace brighter, warmer and more hopeful days ahead.

今年的Métiers d'Art工坊系列在盧瓦爾河谷的香儂頌城堡 （Châteaude Chenonceau）舉行，城堡標誌性的黑白菱格地板不但 是時裝秀的天橋，也成為設計靈感。亮片迷你裙、黑白提花毛衣配 襯流蘇幾何花呢長裙正是呼應此黑白圖案。 系列中亦同時見到城堡其它特色︰花園裡的花朵以夾克寬翻 領上的花卉刺繡得以永生，花呢斗篷則讓人聯想到城堡的著名掛 毯，城堡輪廓出現到寶石斑駁的寬腰帶上。城堡不單只是舉行時裝 秀場地，更是系列的繆斯。 Chanel的創意總監Virginie Viard說︰「在有『貴婦堡』之稱 的Château de Chenonceau舉行時裝秀，是最自然不過的選 擇。這裡由女性設計和居住，包括Diane de Poitiers和Catherine de’ Medici。而Catherine de’ Medici的徽號和Chanel一樣，都是以 兩個交錯的『雙C』作標誌。」 Chanel的Métiers d'Art高級手工坊系列傳承了Karl Lagerfeld 的理念，將法國的經典文化結合非凡手工藝。黑色喱士長裙上便有 來自Lemarié的鉚釘格子，錦緞連衣裙的上半部由來自Lesage的刺 繡師處理，雙色調的銀色厚底涼鞋和黑靴則是來自Massaro的製鞋 匠的傑作……工匠們的精湛工藝跟Chanel的設計相輝映。

The runway show in the grand gallery of the Château de Chenonceau was a dramatic backdrop for a motif echoed on sequined minis and long skirts in a fringed geometric tweed patchwork.

Other elements from the château, which span the River Cher, are reimagined in a variety of ways: flowers from the gardens are immortalized in the floral embroideries on the wide lapel of a jacket; the famous tapestries of the castle inspire the warm hues of a tweed cape and the facade of the castle adorns a bejeweled wide belt.

Chenonceau was not just a stage for the collection—it is its muse.

“Showing at the Château de Chenonceau, the ‘Château des Dames’, was an obvious choice,” says Virginie Viard, creative director of Chanel. “It was designed and lived in by women, including Diane de Poitiers and Catherine de’ Medici. And Catherine de’ Medici’s emblem was a monogram composed of two intertwined Cs, just like that of Chanel.”

The Métiers d’Art ready-to-wear show is a nod to Chanel’s late creative director Karl Lagerfeld, who wanted to perpetuate French cultural legacy and an uncommon craft expertise. From the long black lace dress composed of lattices punctuated with studs by Lemarié and the top of a damask dress embroidered entirely by Lesage to the two-tone sparkling silver platform sandals and the tapered black boots made by Massaro, these artisans surely shine.

美肌產品入手攻略

Spring Splurge Emerge from your winter hibernation looking your best with the latest and most luxurious Story | Leslie Yip

眼前一亮 有沒有想過為什麼眼睛最容易出賣年齡？除了因為眼周肌膚又薄 又脆弱之外，我們每日平均眨眼10,000次亦令肌膚受壓。而且，眼部 是人體其中一處最多神經分佈的部位，增加了肌膚的敏感度。就算是 輕微的疲勞、黑眼圈及眼袋，都會令眼周肌膚變得鬆弛、皺紋變深及 眼眉下垂，從而令雙眼看上去變得沉重、無神、細小及失去光彩。 這款眼部精華特別針對上述種種眼部衰老問題而研製。產品含 高達94%天然萃取成份和全新黑蜂蜜修護科技。結合殿堂級的蜂皇產 物，包括烏埃尚島黑蜂蜜及特級蜂皇漿，針對皮膚及神經細胞因壓力 及環境而造成的損害進行修復。天然萃取的緊緻複合物讓眼睛由睫毛 以至眉毛整體輪廓上揚，而微細珍珠粉末有提亮效果，重現亮麗明眸。 全新設計的黃金塗抹器在塗抹時可釋出適當的份量，配合獨門的 按摩手法，令眼瞼肌膚回復緊緻，減少疲勞、浮腫及黑圈等問題，雙 眼顯得圓大有神。

Open YOur eYes Why are our eyes the first to show our age?

Well, perhaps because the eye area has one of the body’s largest supply of nerves, and this over-innervation can increase sensitivity. not only does the eye area have the thinnest layer of skin on the face, but it also exerts pressure as we blink around 10,000 times per day.

Furthermore, when even the slightest fatigue, dark circles and puffiness appear, the skin loses firmness, wrinkles deepen and eyebrows sink. This all leaves the eyes looking heavier, sadder, smaller and less radiant.

Halt these signs of aging with this eye serum featuring 94 per cent, naturally derived ingredients and the new BlackBee repair technology.

It combines the very best in hive products, including Oeussant Island honey and royal jelly, which target skin and nerve-cell damage caused by stress and the environment—naturally-derived tensing polymers that form a flexible tightening mesh to lift the eyes from eyelash to eyebrow, and micro-pearlescents to ensure perfect light reflection.

The new hybrid Gold Drop applicator delivers the precise dose of serum and, when applied following the exclusive and precise massage technique, the skin is left stronger and firmer. signs of fatigue, puffiness and circles are minimized and eyes look wider and more radiant.

DOn’T skImp Lotions are the prelude to every beauty ritual and are fundamental for radiant skin. They finalize the cleansing ritual and prepare the skin to receive the next products. This lotion contains botanical alfalfa concentrate and a magnetic water complex to deliver deep hydration within the skin and provide anti-aging effects.

The magnetic water complex acts like a magnet to attract, bind and retain water molecules for intense, long-lasting epidermal hydration. Alfalfa seeds, which are rich in minerals, trace elements, vitamins and amino acids, are extracted for their high-performance, smoothing and firming active ingredients. Gentle on the skin, its action is similar to that of retinol, and it also stimulates the production of Type I collagen.

The lotion has a new, denser, jelly-like texture that transforms into a water-on application. It absorbs instantly, with immediate tensing, plumping, luminizing and pore-minimizing effect. The skin appears plumped and stays hydrated for eight hours. smoother and firmer, it is better prepared to face daily aggressors.

rejuvenATInG rITuAL As we age, the skin’s cellular activities slow down, including essential cells that produce fewer new skin cells and the structural architecture in all layers of the skin that provide the skin with mechanical strength, firmness, elasticity and volume, leading to a loss of skin tissue.

To help counteract this age-induced loss, this rejuvenation ritual takes a three-faceted approach. First, the formula temporarily softens the skin barrier to allow better penetration of the active ingredients. next, skin cells are reanimated so they resume their full renewal and regeneration. Third, as an outcome, skin appears rejuvenated due to the creation of new tissue.

The course consists of three 10-day vials and an activator—to be used as a month-long intensive treatment four times a year—allowing the skin to rebalance between each use. each vial is composed of two chambers to protect the integrity of two separated formulas, which is activated by a signature platinum catalyst.

Maison Margiela ‘Replica’ Bubble Bath eau de toilette, 100ml | $159

《101斑點狗》的英國作家Dodie Smith曾在另一作品《I Capture the Castle》中寫過「高尚的行為和熱水浴是治療抑鬱的最佳方法」。 如果你自問平日「高尚」行為做得不多，又沒有浴缸，不用擔心，因 為Maison Margiela最新推出的Bubble Bath香水能讓你隨時隨地也 能有潔淨怡人的舒適感覺。 今 次 推 出 的 中 性 香 水 是「 R e p l i c a 」系 列 的 其 中 一 部 分 ， 「Replica」由比利時設計師Maison Margiela於1994年創立，從世界 各地搜集經得起時間考驗和有獨特風格的衣物，再根據原作照辦複 製，每件衣服均配上專有標籤，標明其出處、時期和風格。 與其重現有形物體，Maison Margiela更擅於擷取記憶中的 片段作靈感，捕捉到瞬間的香氣，充滿感性。就像當中的「Coffee Break」香水，便是新鮮烤的阿拉伯咖啡豆、鮮奶忌廉和薰衣草香 氣，仿若置身魅力咖啡室般；「Springtime in a Park」則能帶你到春 天的公園，經過漫長寒冷的冬天，終於看到花兒在温暖陽光照拂下 發芽生長……每一種香氛都喚起回憶，湧現相關景象和情感。 顧名思義，「Bubble Bath」當然是帶來在家中來一個舒適自在 的泡泡浴後那份怡然純淨感覺。這款柑苔調的香水，初調是帶有肥 皂泡清潔香氣和佛手柑精華，中調是玫瑰、薰衣草和茉莉花，基調 則廣藿香、和白麝香。 盛載在只有布料標籤，簡約猶如藥水瓶的「Bubble Bath」，跟 同系列的香水如 「Beach Walk」 、 「Lazy Sunday Morning」 和 「Flower Market」搭配，無論是氣味和感覺都相得益彰。喜歡這香氣的話， 還可以選擇 「Bubble Bath」 香氛蠟燭來為家居或工作空間增添香氣。 當然，可以的話，最好便是以這香氣推出泡泡浴露和沐浴液 了……。

Maison Margiela ‘Replica’ Bubble Bath scented candle, 165g | $75

“Noble deeds and hot baths are the best cures for depression,” wrote Dodie Smith in her novel, I Capture the Castle. If your scout badges are long lost, or you don’t own a bathtub, fret not. The next best thing is Bubble Bath by Maison Margiela.

This unisex fragrance is part of Replica, a collection of clothing and accessories inspired by garments collected from around the world and chosen for the universality and timelessness of their style and history.

Created by the maison in 1994, each garment is reproduced identically and is marked with a plain white label indicating its provenance, period and style description.

The scent collection is inspired by this curative sentiment, but instead of recreating tangible objects, it aims to capture the scent of a moment.

Coffee Break is freshly roasted Arabica beans, frothed milk cream and fine desserts garnished with lavender blossoms at a charming café.

Springtime in a Park transports you to a green city oasis in spring, where sprouting flowers are warmed by the first rays of sunshine after a long, cold winter. Every scent evokes an image and an emotion that echos with our own past.

Like the name suggests, Bubble Bath is the soothing sensation of bathing in the comfort and safety of one’s own home. A Chypre floral, the scent reveals itself with a soap bubble clean accord and bergamot essence. Roses, lavender and jasmine follow, enhanced with relaxing hints of patchouli and white musks.

Housed in a simple apothecary bottle with a cloth label, Bubble Bath complements well in smell and in feel with Beach Walk, Lazy Sunday Morning and Flower Market from the collection. A luxury candle of the same scent is also available to infuse your home or workspace.

If only they would make an actual bubble bath or shower gel with the same fragrance….

2021

Last year marked a watershed for Chinese social media darling Lu Han. He’s been an adored idol since returning to China in 2014 after leaving South KoreanChinese boy group Exo. But in 2020, at 30, he began a new chapter in his life.

His aim was to turn his image on its head by playing polarizing characters on two TV series—as a tormented trailblazing gamer in CrossFire and as a two-faced villain drifting between good and bad in Sisyphus.

It was also the year he won over fans as Coach Lu, gently dishing out cutting critiques on talent show Chuang 2020, and sharing positive energy on reality show Hahahahaha.

He also kept busy on the music scene, producing singles and albums, as well as embarking on his 2021 “π DAY” Tour.

PoSITIVE rESPonSE To ConTroVErSIAL roLES As Shuo Feng in CrossFire, Lu Han plays a downon-his-luck, messy-haired disheveled gamer, often shot in a T-shirt, boxers and flip-flops, in a relentless pursuit of a gamer’s dream with a pure and kind heart. As serial killer Zhao Binbin in Sisyphus, he struggles deep down but gives in to pain and the urge to take revenge.

In just two roles, Lu Han obliterated the misconceptions many may have had about him. So let’s hear directly from the man some have referred to as the Chinese Justin Bieber.

Lu Han took part in the reality show Hahahahaha to experience different ways of life.

記者：當初接「肖楓」這個角色的時候，自己不會有形象上 的考量嗎？

Q: When you took on the role of Shuo Feng, did you consider how it would affect your image

鹿晗：其實沒考慮那麼多造型的問題，主要是劇本我一 個通宵就看完了，覺得特別好，就決定接了。當初第一次試妝 完，我覺得還是可以再邋遢一點、頭髮可以再卷一點，因為當 年我就是錫紙燙過來的，錫紙燙確實會更卷。但是劇組沒同 意，我覺得現在這樣也挺好。另外我覺得也不能說故意扮醜 吧，就是要符合人物，還原那個時候的肖楓。而且我覺得遊戲 裡肖楓挺帥的。

A: I didn’t think much about the character’s styling. It was the script that captivated me. I read it overnight and thought it was special, so I took it on.

After the first makeup test, I thought the character could look even more unkempt, and the hair could be curlier. I permed my hair with tin foil before, so I knew it could be curlier if done that way. But the production team didn’t think so. It looked good enough anyway. I didn’t think it was deliberately making the character look ugly. It was about making the character believable. I thought Shuo looked very handsome when he was gaming.

記者：和肖楓相處了4個月，過了一把他的人生，你覺得 從他身上收穫了什麼嗎？比如一些思考一些啟示？ 鹿晗：肖楓認準的事兒，雖然當時環境不好，但他就是能 堅持到底，不管別人怎麼說，這個勁兒我挺佩服的。人活着還 是得有夢想，有夢想就要去努力實現，不然還不如一隻豬。 記者：在《在劫難逃》中初次演反派，會覺得有挑戰嗎？趙 彬彬這個角色很複雜，如何把握好這個度？

Q: Having lived as Shuo Feng for four months, what did you learn from the character? What inspiration did you get?

A: When Shuo knows what he wants to do, he will keep at it against all odds, disregarding what people think of him. I admire that determination.

Humans need to have a dream and work hard to make it come true, lest we are no better than pigs.

Q: What challenges did you face playing a bad guy for the first time in Sisyphus? Zhao Binbin is a very complex character. How did you get it right?

鹿晗：趙彬彬雖然看起來像是個「反派」，但他內心還是善 良的。進組之後，五百導演、千源哥、齊溪姐、吳越姐都幫了 我挺多的，大家會一起討論怎麼演更合適。趙彬彬要切換自己 的兩個身份，晚上要犯罪，白天是兒科醫生，而且還要面對張 海峰的拷問，那個狀態確實開始時不太好找。千源哥拉着我一 起對戲，他說你一定要淡定，要和張海峰對視，眼神不要飄。 後面進入狀態就好了。

A: Zhao might look like a villain, but he is a good person at heart.

Since joining the production, the crew—from director Guo Shubo to the cast, including Wang Qianyuan, Qi Xi and Wu Yue—helped me a lot. We discussed how best to interpret the character. Zhao Binbin moves between two identities: a pediatrician by day and a criminal by night. He also has to face interrogation from Zhang Haifeng. It’s difficult to get the nuances right.

Qianyuan took me aside to rehearse together and he said, ‘You have to keep cool, look Zhang Haifeng in the eyes and hold a steady gaze.’ That put me in the right frame of mind.

記者：很多人討論你接演這些角色是為了撕掉流量的標 籤，你同意這個說法嗎？

Q: There were comments that you took on these roles to rid yourself of the social media darling label. Is that so?

鹿晗：沒想那麼多，什麼時間就做什麼時間該做的事兒， 把一切交給時間就行了。

A: That didn’t cross my mind. We do what feels right when the time comes.

在《在劫難逃》中，鹿晗演出了趙彬 彬善與惡的雙面人性，表情入微。 Lu Han shows the right nuances as two-faced bad guy Zhao Binbin in Sisyphus.

穩紮穩打 全面開花 螢屏之外，鹿晗在2020年也格外活躍。以全能唱跳型 偶像出道的他，在真人秀《創造營2020》中化身學員們的「鹿 教練」，給學員門做聲樂指導。而在戶外真人秀《哈哈哈哈 哈——很高興認識你》中，鹿晗與「五哈旅行團」成員一起，在 一段東西穿越中國的公路之旅中，從當搬蟹工、地攤小販、 計程車司機，到賣早餐、送外賣、街頭貼膜……體驗各式普 通工作。在音樂方面，他的「π」系列，繼《π-Volume.1》和 《π-Volume.2》之後，於去年5月推出了有着復古浪漫調性的 《π-Volume.3》，11月又有《π-Volume.4》如約而至。 記者：有網友評價你在《創造營2020》中的風格是「溫柔 一刀」，這是你在點評中自然形成的風格，還是之前就已經給 自己定下了？ 鹿晗：我自己點評的時候沒有太注意，有問題就說了， 播出後看到大家的評價，也是沒想到，算是有點犀利。其實 我從學員身上學到更多，他們比我們那個時候更會表達自 己，而且聽的歌、看的東西比我們那時候多多了，挺觸動我 的。 記者：在《哈哈哈哈哈》中你綁過螃蟹、擺過攤，印象最 深是哪一次？參加這個節目都有哪些收穫？ 鹿晗：送餐算印象比較深的，能接觸到很多不同的人。 我有一單，當時操作還不太熟練，店裡拿了餐應該點已取 餐，我點了個已送達，點餐人可能出門來拿，發現沒有，就 不爽了，最後點了取消這一單，我也能理解。我以後點外 賣，肯定不會給差評，哈哈。其實大家都是一樣的上班人， 藝人是我的職業。可能以後也會有節目，讓大家來體驗我們 的工作。 記者：「π」系列專輯概念是由哪些想法而來？這張專輯 打磨了多久？可以具體談談它從零到有的過程嗎？ 鹿晗：《π》這張就是試了很多曲風、各種風格，而且分 了幾個階段製作，每個階段選Demo，可能會因為當時正在 聽什麼風格的音樂都不太一樣，現在回頭看也覺得挺有意思 的，這張專輯可能記錄了我這一年的變化。

rEELInG IT In, CooL AnD STEADY In 2020, Lu Han became a triple threat. He assumed the role as Coach Lu in Chuang 2020, offering musical training to the apprentices.

In the outdoor reality show Hahahahaha—Nice to Meet You, Lu Han toured with the crew on highways across China to work, among other things, as hawkers, taxi drivers and delivery drivers—to experience different walks of life.

In music, he also added to his “π” series with the retro-romantic “π-Volume.3” in May and “π-Volume.4” in november.

Q: You were labelled by netizens as a “gentle critic” regarding your coaching style in Chuang 2020. Was that critique style formed during the show or have you always been like that?

A: I wasn’t conscious of that when giving a critique. I just made observations as I saw them. I read the public’s reviews after the broadcast, and I didn’t expect that. It was indeed a bit cutting. Actually, I learned a lot from the apprentices. They were much better at expressing themselves, compared to us back at that stage of our development. They also had greater exposure to different genres of music and other things. They inspired me.

Q: In Hahahahaha, did you actually tie up crabs or set up hawker stands?

What was the most memorable job, and what was the most rewarding?

A: Delivering meals was unforgettable. I got to meet different types of people. In handling one order, when I still wasn’t too familiar with the procedure, I should have punched in “delivery collected“from the outlet when updating the status, but I clicked “meals delivered“. So when the person who ordered the meal came out to collect, but didn’t see it, he wasn’t happy, and then he clicked “cancel order“. I could understand why he responded that way. So when I order takeaways in future, I will not give negative feedbacks, haha. Indeed, we are all just doing our jobs. Being a performer is my job. Perhaps there will be a show in future for others to experience our jobs.

Q: Where did you get the idea for the π album? How long did it take to polish it? Can you take us through the journey?

A: π was made after trying differing genres and styles. It was made in various stages of production. We picked a demo in every stage. The style varied depending on what music we listened to at that particular time.

Looking back, it was quite interesting. This album is perhaps a record of how I evolved during the year.

找到節奏 擁抱變化 鹿晗以突破性的表現帶來了不少令人眼前一亮的驚 喜，讓人一時間忘記他「偶像」的標籤。有網友直言，「通 過鹿晗，甚至打破了過往的看法，決定開始正視流量明 星。」許多業內人士在點贊鹿晗表現的同時，也開始「揣 摩」他的路線，不少媒體在報導時直接用上了「轉型」一 詞，認為鹿晗開始走上「撕掉流量標籤」的道路。 記者：你認為從事藝人職業後，自己的性格會因此 被塑造嗎？還是說你心裡一直在堅持自我？ 鹿晗：其實大家都一樣吧，工作之後，身邊認識 的人、經歷的事兒都或多或少有點影響。但是我自己知 道，我還是我，別做超越底線的事兒就行了。 記者：你說找到自己的節奏很重要，對當下的你 來說，最令自己喜歡的節奏是怎樣的，實際上可以做到 嗎？ 鹿晗：人的時間和精力是有限的，不能把所有好 事兒都攥在自己手裡，人會崩潰的。所以找到自己的節 奏，把時間和精力分配好，把事一件件做好。但現實肯 定有變化的，不能所有事情都按照你計劃的那樣，所以 還是得擁抱變化，大方向不變，結果是你想要的就行。

EMBrACE CHAnGE Lu Han has shown everyone what he’s capable through these new and surprising roles, possibly putting his original “idol” label in the rear-view mirror. Some netizens have commented that Lu Han has changed their perception of him—so much so that he should be regarded as “more than just a social media star.”

Q: Do you think showbiz has changed who you are?

A: We are inevitably shaped by our work, the people we know and our experiences. But I know that I’m still who I am. It’s all fine, as long as we don’t cross the bottom line we set for ourselves.

Q: You said it was important to find your own rhythm.

At this moment, what’s your preferred rhythm, and can you achieve that?

A: our time and energy are finite. We can’t attempt to keep hold of every good. It will destroy us. So it’s important to find our own rhythm, making good use of time and energy to do things well. Things change and won’t necessarily go as planned. So it’s also important to embrace change while maintaining the same direction. It’s fine as long as the result is what you want.

瑞士名表Girard-Perregaux（ 芝柏）今年便 屆230周年，品牌以最明亮的天文體之一—類星 體 (Quasar) 命名它藍寶石新款男表—Quasar Light。Quasar Light擁有藍寶石表殼，還將品牌 著名三金橋都變成透明，配合鏤通機芯，在光線 反射下驚艷無比，且帶懸浮效果。 由於Sapphire藍寶石是硬度僅次於鑽石的 一種剛玉，切割和打磨修飾的難度極高，製作成 本不便宜，用來製作表殼甚至量產化只是十年內 發生的事。此次的Quasar Light與眾不同之處在 於，它的46mm表殼都是從一整塊藍寶石經超過 200小時和數百工序才能完成，限量只有18枚。 它所搭載的GP09400型機芯，連品牌在1884年獲 專利的著名三橋設計都改用藍寶石來製造，所採 用的Aerial Neo-bridges呈拱形和帶弧度的鏤通立 體造型。

Swiss watch brand Girard-Perregaux marks its 230th anniversary this year with Quasar Light, named after the most brilliant astronomical entities. Encased in sapphires, the watch also features the brand’s signature Three Golden Bridges in sapphires. Coupled with the skeletonized mechanism, the timepiece dazzles.

The hardness of sapphires is second only to diamonds, so cutting and polishing them is a big challenge. The cost is prohibitive and Quasar Light ups the ante, investing 200 hours and taking hundreds of steps to fashion the 46mm case. Not surprising, there are only 18 pieces in the limitededition collection.

Quasar LiGht 表殼和三橋透明，可全方位完全無阻欣賞機芯的構造和 運作。 機芯：GP09400-1128自動 物料：藍寶石 The see-through case and the three bridges exhibit the full glory of the mechanism.

Calibre: GP09400-1128 self-winding MaTerial: Sapphire $294,000

今年便屆230周年的芝柏，歷史悠久卻不保守，在平面上大玩立體設計屢見不鮮。 Marking its 230th anniversary, Girard-Perregaux stays true to its heritage while continuing to break the norms, playing with dimensions to give substance to its designs.

說得一口流利日文的瑞士先生David Glaettli 在瑞士著名設計學院ECAL畢業，其後到日本當上 傢俱品牌的創作總監，已經在日本組織家庭落地 生根。他用自己的當代藝術觸覺，將日本多個傳 統產業推廣到世界市場。在將傢俱老牌大翻新成 為年輕消費者寵兒，令古老瓷器有田燒變得摩登 有型之後，David的新任務是推廣日本多治見市的 瓷磚。 David Glaettli現在主理的瓷磚品牌叫Tajimi Custom Tiles。Tajimi即是日本多治見市。這個 位於岐阜縣的城市得天獨厚，土壤除了礦物質豐 富，更是最適合造陶瓷。所以多治見早於1,300年 前已經發展陶器工業，更是日本最聞名陶器美濃 燒的誕生地。去到20世紀初，多治見亦發展為日 本瓷磚生產中心，日本九成國產瓷磚皆出於此。 你下次去日本旅行見到屋靚瓷磚正，如無意外都 是多治見出品。

David Glaettli’s career has been an interesting one, to say the least. The Zurich native’s schooling took an interdisciplinary approach, studying art, communications and Japanese—to the point that be became fluent in the language. After graduating from renowned Swiss design school ECAL, he went to Japan to be creative director of a furniture line.

He subsequently applied his contemporary art sensibility to promote various Japanese industries on the global market. After rejuvenating an old furniture brand and winning over young consumers in the process, Glaettli turned his attention to Arita ware, making the centuries-old porcelain process hip.

In 2019, Glaettli embarked on a new mission, helping to establish Tajimi Custom Tiles. Tajimi—a town in Gifu province blessed with mineral-rich soil and where ceramics have been made since the 16th century—is the birthplace of Japan’s best-known ceramic products, Mino ware.

現在多治見當然以大廠房大量生產標準瓷磚 為主，不過仍然有一些規模小技藝高的製造商， 他們仍然保留日本傳統的上光和燒製，簡直是舖 上牆的瓷器。Tajimi Custom Tiles所用的對策是， 針對全球建築師和設計師，為天下最挑剔的眼睛 度身訂造瓷磚。你想使用什麼材料，用哪種生產 和燒製方法，形狀、大小、釉面、質地或顏色如 何都好，你不是一車車貨櫃訂都好，多治見瓷磚 都可以為你訂造，全球送貨。反正Tajimi Custom Tiles有的是工匠那雙巧手及超過700年歷史的陶器 土壤。說到這裡，筆者開始想買樓。

缺憾美值千金 多治見瓷磚最獨特的魅力，除了精通各種生 產、上釉和燒製技術之外，就是成品予人溫婉細 膩、手工製作才有的獨有質感。成品的顏色和質 地上的輕微不規則，被視為日本美學的體現。世 界大部分的瓷磚都是在輥道窯中燒成的，為了達 到一式一樣，有如塑膠啤出來。但在多治見市， 使用的是隧道窯和梭式窯。這些窯就成就到那種 日式美學：由色彩至質感，每塊瓷磚都會有些微 變化。透過這種「人為意外」，就可以成就到值千 金的缺憾美、科技難以生產的人情味。此外，還 可以用特殊釉料及燒成方法，創造獨特的紋理和 色彩，就像傳統日本陶器一樣。

In the early 20th century, Tajimi emerged as Japan’s hub for ceramic tile, accounting for 90 per cent of the country’s production. The mesmerizing tiles covering thousands of beautiful houses in Japan are likely the products of Tajimi.

While the majority of its tile companies specialize in high-volume production of standard slates, there are a number of smaller, highlyspecialized manufacturers using a rarely seen combination of alternative production methods and traditional Japanese glazing and firing. Tajimi Custom Tiles is one such company.

It seeks to make bespoke tiles that meet the most discerning demands of architects and designers around the world. No matter what shape, size, firing, glazing, texture, colour or amount, Tajimi Custom Tiles utilizes the deft skills of its artisans and the region’s renowned pottery soil to create its custom-made tiles for delivery worldwide.

IMpErfECTIoN ADDS vALuE Tajimi tiles are beautiful, not only because of skillful production, glazing and firing techniques, but also because they have the sophisticated unique texture of handmade artworks. The colours and textures of the finished products are not uniform, which is revered as a full expression of the Japanese aesthetic.

While most tiles in the world are made in roller kilns and look identical, as if produced in standard moulds, Tajimi tiles are made in tunnel and shuttle kilns. They give life to Japanese aesthetics, displayed in colours, textures and small variations from tile to tile. The invaluable beauty of “intentional” imperfection and the human factor in making these tiles are what make them so intriguing and so highly sought after.

這就是Tajimi Custom Tiles的瓷磚 「常餐」 ，他們做慣做熟的傳統款式，看得人想買樓。 Could these quintessential Tajimi Custom Tiles prompt one to buy a classic Japanese house, just to show them off?

Kwangho Lee設計的Tide，大概有改變市容的效力。 Kwangho Lee’s Tide design has the potential to change the face of a city.

為了表達Tajimi Custom Tiles的獨有創造力，Glaettli請來英國 設計師藝術家Max Lamb合作。Lamb在英國陶瓷重鎮Cornwall長 大，本身未設計過瓷磚，去了多治見市，親身感受那裡的水土及生 產文化後，成就了Working Tile系列。它是一套模塊化的3D瓷磚， 可以生成無數的形狀和形式。Lamb就設計出有花瓶、梳化、檯、 長櫈和屏風。這些3D瓷磚傢俱看上去好奇幻，不過Lamb選用了多 治見最通用的粘土，以及多治見市最出名的風格：模棱兩可的釉料 顏色，向經典的日本瓷磚致敬。他的生產方法是壓力模製，可以創 建高精度的3D形狀和圖案。 除了Max Lamb，Glaettli亦將韓國設計師Kwangho Lee帶到 多治見市。Lee向來喜歡用編織為主題設計傢俱，全因他很沉迷不 斷迴圈同一個圖案。他設計的Tide原理又好像編織：不斷迴圈同一 個圖案，織出不同形狀作品。Lee覺得看着一堆又濕又軟的泥土變 硬，不過瓷磚結構又似編織品，充滿反差，非常過癮。

本身來自英國陶瓷重鎮，能夠去日本陶瓷重鎮交流，Max Lamb一口答應。 Hailing from the English pottery hub of Cornwall, Max Lamb was eager to visit Japan’s ceramic centre for an exchange.

To expand Tajimi Custom Tiles’ unique creativity, Glaettli invited English designer artist Max Lamb to collaborate. Lamb, who grew up in English pottery stronghold Cornwall, hadn’t designed ceramic tiles until visiting Tajimi multiple times to get a feel for the land and the production culture there. Subsequently, he created the Working Tile collection, comprising a set of 3D ceramic tile modules that can be put together to form numerous shapes and styles.

Lamb designed vases, sofas, tables, benches and screens with these tile pieces. He used Tajimi clay and the style of morphing glazing synonymous with Tajimi to pay tribute to Japan’s longstanding ceramic artistry. He applied pressure moulding to make it possible to create super-precise 3D shapes and patterns.

Glaettli also invited Korean designer Kwangho Lee to Tajimi.

Lee, known for making woven furniture with looping patterns called Tide, got a kick out of watching soggy soil turn into tiles resembling a woven item.

韓國設計師Kwangho Lee設計的Tide，就是一個pattern不斷loop。 Kwangho Lee’s Tide design loops the same pattern.

空中城堡

Laputa t.O. Concord’s Bridge Suites—Your Castle in the Sky 要想象占士邦住的地方，Concord的Bridge Suites庶幾近矣！ 由開始策劃到真正落成，Bridge Suites已教全世界充滿好奇地翹首 以待—在多倫多市中心Canoe Landing Park公園旁的兩幢高樓中間，於 98米的高空橫空連接，仿如橋樑般架在兩幢大樓中間，意念、建築難度 都是世所罕見。 許多市中心居民對2012年6月發生的一幕記憶猶深—一組玻璃和鋼 的結構被提運到現場，它跟波音737客機的長度相同，惹來一片驚嘆。 來到今天，當發展商為這充滿懸念的劃世建築掀開神秘面紗，推出發售 時，再一次教人讚服。 兩個Bridge Suites單位是加國最高和最大旳懸空式住宅。當中以 Grand Bridge Suite的面積最大，也是率先公開發售的。單位面積達 4,168平方呎，分為3層，客廳、飯廳和書房更享有格外開揚的特高樓 底；面積相當於小型城市花園、達823平方呎的陽台備有室內酒吧和日 光浴室，成就最佳私人休閒區，不禁令人聯想起巴比倫的空中花園。此 外，單位還配備了三個泊車位的私人停車庫和特優儲物空間。 Concord Adex的銷售與市場部副總裁Isaac Chan說︰「從前您很難 凌空一指，很肯定和具體地跟人說『我就住在那裏』 ；但現在就可以了，如 此獨特的府邸位置，絕對不會讓人錯過。」 當您驚嘆於美麗雅致的室內裝潢，以及北眺市中心、南望安大略湖 無與倫比的美景時，或許亦該為如此難以置信的工程和建築壯舉而鼓掌。

It’s a lair fit for James Bond himself.

Suspended 98 metres mid-air between two skyscrapers at the foot of Canoe Landing Park in downtown Toronto, Concord’s Bridge Suites have been a source of curiosity and wonderment throughout the city— and the world—since its inception nearly a decade ago.

Many downtown dwellers may recall the crowds standing in awe when this glass-and-steel structure, the same length as a Boeing 737, was lifted into place in June 2012. Now, the world is dropping its collective jaw again as the developer unveils a residential suite for purchase.

The two Bridge Suites are the country’s highest and largest suspended residences. The Grand Bridge Suite is the larger of the two, and the first one being offered to the public. Spanning 4,168 square feet over three floors, this living space features double-height living, dining and study areas.

It also boasts an outdoor retreat serviced by an indoor bar and sunroom that would put the Hanging Gardens of Babylon to shame.

At 823 square feet, it is the size of a small city parkette. Additionally, the suite comes with a private three-car garage and premium storage space.

“Rarely in a city can you point in the sky and say definitively, ‘I live there’,” says Isaac Chan, Vice President, Sales and Marketing at Concord Adex. “The uniqueness of this residence makes it very hard to miss.”

儘管高層建築物之間的天橋屢見不鮮，但通常都是作為行人天橋。 這項目的結構工程師及Halcrow Yolles的前高級負責人Halcrow Yolles表 示，從未有住宅單位建築在連接建築物之間的天橋上。 由天橋連接的兩幢大樓已落成，當中一幢更是已經入夥且有人居 住，如何在兩者中間組裝翻新天橋，成為了項目的一大挑戰。經過足足 四年的規劃、分析和推敲微調，才將重達450噸的結構以千斤頂起重裝 置，以每次升高16吋的速度向上絞合到位，整個過程歷時超過14小時。 正如Isaac Chan所說，多倫多人這些年來一直對這個建築計劃大感 興趣。「我們很高興拉開帷幕，讓大家終於可以一同欣賞和感受這個令人 難以置信的生活空間。」

As you marvel at the beautiful interiors and the unparalleled views of Lake Ontario to the south and Toronto’s cityscape to the north, don’t forget the incredible engineering and architectural aspects of its creation.

While flyovers between high-rise buildings are not uncommon, most of them are experienced in a passageway, like a pedestrian bridge, and not a residence. According to Agha Hasan, former Senior Principal at Halcrow Yolles, the project’s structural engineers, there was no precedent for integrating a residence into a sky bridge.

One major challenge was that the bridge was to be retrofitted between two existing buildings, one of them already occupied. It took four years of planning, analysis and fine-tuning before the 450-tonne structure was strand-jacked into place, employing beams, hydraulic jacks and heavy-duty cables, six inches at a time. The whole process took more than 14 hours.

“The Bridge Suites have long sparked intrigue from Torontonians,” says Chan. “We’re excited to pull back the curtain and finally give everyone the grand tour of this incredible space.”

Threaded together by scenic routes from Lac-Saint-Jean through the city of Saguenay to Tadoussac, this stretch is ideal for road trippers. Take your time to explore the historic village of Val Jalbert, the majestic Saguenay Fjords and whale watching in the St. Lawrence estuary. Here’s how you can feast on regional specialities, meet friendly locals and create lasting open-air memories.

Climb 764 steps, or take the cable car to the top of the waterfall, to get a panoramic view of the quaint single-industry village that was once the most modern town in the region—heck, it had electricity and running water.

However, with the decreased demand for pulp, the mill closed in 1927 and it quickly became a ghost town. Take in the 40 charming original buildings, including the well-preserved convent school, general store and mill itself on the provincially-owned property.

Spend an evening or two in the heart of the village in a room above the general store, or in a 1920s period house that’s been beautifully retrofitted with contemporary comforts. There’s also a campsite and mini-cottages, with access to a heated outdoor pool—great for young families. dine at the mill restaurant and enjoy the regional cuisine created by chef Gilbert Nault, before taking a leisurely evening stroll along the river to the illuminated falls in the closed theme park.

The next morning, how about a guided tour of Val-Jalbert—on foot, or aboard a trolley bus—to explore rows of abandoned houses in various states of decay and experience a bevy of interpretive activities? Included is an immersive multi-sensory show in the old mill’s grinders’ room, video interviews with former residents and costumed actors portraying former citizens in the unique open-air museum, which operates from may to October.

跟超市售賣大大粒的藍莓不同，細小的野生藍莓有着光滑的外皮，味道如果醬般 香甜。當地人喜歡用藍莓入饌，比如位於Saint-Ambroise的Ferme Michel Rivard et Fille餐廳便提供藍莓poutine。 Unlike the plumper cultured version, tiny wild blueberries have a smooth frosted skin and are packed with gorgeous jammy flavours. You can sample them in local creations, like blueberry poutine, at Ferme Michel Rivard et Fille in Saint-Ambroise.

野生藍莓及馬鈴薯。農莊以休閒農場的形式運作，讓美食愛 好者有機會透過周末舉辦的導賞遊，了解全手工摘收水果的過 程。之後可以遠足，又或者採摘生果或農產品，更可即興野 餐，農莊小店提供多款新鮮食品如藍莓批、現烤麵包配藍莓牛 油，以及著名的藍莓poutine等。別忘了多買一些新鮮莓子在 車上吃，而果醬及三文治醬則可帶回家慢慢享用。

薩格奈 由Chicoutimi、Jonquière及La Baie鎮三個行政區組成的 薩格奈，是該地區最大的商業樞紐。Chicoutimi作為區內主要 行政及商業中心，多個世界知名的節慶活動都在這裡舉辦， 如Regard短片電影節、Festival des Bières du Monde啤酒節 及Festival des vins de Saguenay餐酒節等，兩個酒節每年都 吸引不少愛酒之人慕名而來。La Baie位處薩格奈峽灣旁，因 而成為旅遊熱點。鎮上可找到不少精緻小店及藝坊，包括位 於市中心的玻璃及石雕工作坊Touverre，店內亦出售自家製 的玻璃藝術品。La Baie更是郵輪港口。沿Véloroute du Fjord du Saguenay單車徑由碼頭的村莊可前往科學博物館Musée du Fjord。館內設施包括峽灣水族館、海洋生物展覽、昆蟲生 態園和不時更新的短期展覽等。參觀者可了解Saguenay-LacSaint-Jean地區的大自然及歷史，探索300米深的薩格奈峽 灣，亦可透過Navis多媒體演示或峽灣海岸導賞遊，加深對當 地的認識。

遊客可以參加Economusée Touverre的工作坊，欣賞藝術家Mr. Benedetto如何創 製他的玻璃和石雕作品。 Economusée Touverre is where visitors can attend workshops to observe how artisan Giuseppe Benedetto creates his artful hand-blown glass and stone-cutting.

On the way to Saguenay, stop by Ferme michel rivard et Fille in Saintambroise to savour the region’s prized produce—wild blueberries and potatoes. The agri-tourism operation offers curious food lovers the opportunity to visit a working farm on guided weekend tours to see how the hand-picked fruit is harvested.

Coravin 對劉伶一族來說，在家中添置Enomatic取酒機無論是空間和費 用方面都不太划算；相較之下，Coravin的單瓶取酒器可能會是更佳 選擇，讓你可以無需拿走軟木酒塞，一樣可以倒酒出來享用，將保存 和最佳享用時間延長。易於使用的扳機操作式開瓶器因具有防止葡萄 酒氧化的能力而倍受讚譽，它使用帶塗層的針頭輕輕刺穿軟木塞， 用氬氣代替倒出的葡萄酒，讓餘下的酒在本來的酒瓶自然熟成，是 許多餐廳必備的便捷工具。無論是可將餘酒保存長達4周的Pivot儲酒 系統，還是可以將葡萄酒保存多年的豪華SmartClamps系統（它還與 Coravin Moments應用程式連接以進行，確保傾倒酒的速度和狀態評 估），所有設備都具有符合人體工程學的手柄和傾斜的噴嘴，讓倒酒 更容易。

For oenophiles, having an Enomatic dispenser at home might be a bit of a commitment (in space and funds). However, Coravin’s single-bottle wine preservation system is an ideal solution that lets you enjoy wines over weeks, months, or perhaps years, without removing the cork. Prized for its ability to keep wines from oxidizing, the easy-to-use, trigger-operated wine opener uses a coated needle to gently pierce through the cork, replacing poured wine with argon gas. The process means that bottles can continue to age naturally.

It’s a handy tool that’s a staple of many dining rooms. Whether it’s the Pivot Wine Preservation System that preserves the remaining bottle for up to four weeks, or the luxurious SmartClamps™ System that can preserve wines for years (it also connects with the Coravin Moments App for custom pour speeds and status checks), all devices have an ergonomic handle and angled spout that make wine-pouring easy. Starts at $135.95.

Vitamix Food Processor Attachment Vitamix的攪拌機向來以高性能著稱，很多人視之為廚房不 可少的投資。品牌最近推出12杯份量的食物加工機附件，集細 切、刴碎、混合、揉捏、切絲和切片功能於一身，放到Ascent或 Venturist型號攪拌機的底座上，一按鈕便可得到所需要的效果。

Trusted for its high performance, Vitamix’s commercialgrade blenders are a must-have investment for any kitchen that desires the smoothest purees and most precise textures through controlled speeds. Built to last, the same expectations come with the brand’s recently launched food processor attachment that’s the equivalent of having your own sous chef capable of finechopping, mincing, mixing, kneading, shredding and slicing.

Simply pop the 12-cup food processor attachment on to the motor base of an Ascent or Venturist blender and watch your “mise en place” appear in no time, with the simple touch of a button. $259.95.

艾雷威士忌酒廠釀造Gin酒此「別有用 心 」， 是 源 於 一 種 今 已 罕 見 的 蒸 餾 器 Lomond。 Bruichladdich Distillery, one of nine distilleries on the Isle of Islay, is trying its hand at gin-making because of this antique Lomond still.

蘇格蘭的威士忌「聖地」艾雷島，以其獨特的泥媒風味讓世上萬千威士忌 迷所醉倒，愛之者甘之如飴，但惡之者卻說此等泥媒風格等同「醫院味」， 感覺像喝消毒藥水多過喝威士忌。村上春樹說「提起艾雷和威士忌，就像說 蘇格蘭和水那樣容易一起脫口而出」，其實他只是從百份百愛艾雷者角度出 發。名作家說的，不一定是適合你和我的金科玉律。 這極小撮蘇格蘭人在艾雷島好端端的釀製泥媒味威士忌，不就是他們 國家生產大局的主導路線嗎？為何又要另起爐灶去釀造蘇格蘭人沒有專利的 Gin酒？是別有用心乎？ Bruichladdich蒸餾廠是艾雷島九大蒸餾廠之一，之 所以另闢蹊徑，只因為有了「醜貝蒂」Lomond蒸餾器。 今期的主角名為The Botanist，以「植物學家」命名，用心其實不難猜 度，就是因為釀製Gin酒的過程中，所加進的主要材料—草本植物—亦即是 影響Gin酒的主要命脈；也因為製酒大師Jim McEwan真的邀請了兩位植物 學家一起研發，酒液中盡是22種艾雷島原生植物的精華：當中包括野生的 百里香、艾菊、紅（白）苜蓿、檸檬香油……和最要強調的艾雷島野生杜松。 The Botanist瓶身上的數字「22」，便是代表這22種植物，喝慣威士忌的難免 會誤以為是代表22年陳。 至於這威士忌酒廠釀造Gin酒那「別有」的「用心」呢，只是源於一種今 已罕見的蒸餾器Lomond（暱稱「醜貝蒂」)—話說於2005年Jim McEwan從 Dumbarton一家蒸餾廠Inverleven收購了一大堆已廢置的製酒器具中，發現 Lomond這不可多得的傳統寶藏，遂珍而重之亦產生了以此釀製Gin酒的念 頭。 有說，艾雷島的天然水有泥媒味，這Gin酒告訢你，這說法未可盡信。

The Scottish Isle of Islay is a whisky-making mecca, its unique peat flavour having captivated a faithful following. Yet, the uninitiated might compare the hint of peat with the smell of hospital disinfectants.

Japanese writer Haruki Murakami once said: “Islay and whisky roll off the tongue like Scotland and water.” He spoke like a true lover of Islay, but it might not resonate with everyone.

So, why would a region known for making some of the world’s most renowned whiskies bother with gin, a decidedly un-Scottish drink?

Meet The Botanist. The gin is so named because it’s dependent on botanicals. Indeed, gin maker Jim McEwan invited two botanists to develop a gin imbued with 22 foraged botanicals from Islay, such as wild thyme, tansy, red (white) clover, lemon balm and, most importantly, native Islay juniper. They are so essential that the gin is named “22”, denoting the botanicals rather than its age.

Bruichladdich Distillery, one of nine distilleries on the Isle of Islay, is giving gin a try, thanks to a rare distilling tool—the Lomond still, fondly dubbed Ugly Betty. McEwan found it among a dump truck full of distilling tools he purchased from another distillery, Inverleven of Dumbarton. He recognized Lomond as a treasure from the past and got the idea of using it to make gin, and the rest is history.

Some say the taste of peat in Islay whisky is from the water. But this gin shows that’s simply not true.

The Botanist瓶身上的數字「22」， 代表的是22種植物，不要誤以為那 是22年陳。 The “22” on The Botanist label refers to the number of botanicals in the mix, not its age.

Another porsche winner the porsche panamera 4s e-hybrid is nimble and easy to Drive Story | Norris McDonald

幾個月前，我看過保時捷Panamera 5款全新型 號，包括後輪推動的Panamera(售價由99,300元起)、 AWD Panamera 4 (104,600元)、AWD 4S E-hybrid (128,500元)、AWD Panamera GTS (147,400元)和 AWD Panamera Turbo S (202,400元)，已急不及待 躍躍欲試。 機會終於來了。我借到了Panamera 4S E-hybrid 試駕幾天，感覺是它真的如廣告所說，結合了跑車的 性能和房車的舒適。 4S E-Hybrid全新插電式混合動力車型，擁有134 匹馬力的電動摩打，配搭8前速PDK雙離合器波箱和 2.9公升V6雙渦輪增壓引擎，可迸發出552匹馬力和輸 出553磅/呎扭力。新的電池不僅提升了容量，還增加 了續航能力。車廠列明這車極速可高達298 km/h，而 從靜止狀態加速到時速100公里僅需3.7秒。

Several months ago, I previewed Porsche’s five new Panamera models: the RWD Panamera (starting at $99,300), the AWD Panamera 4 ($104,600), the AWD 4S E-hybrid ($128,500), the AWD Panamera GTS ($147,400) and the AWD Panamera Turbo S ($202,400).

Oh, to drive at least one of them!

Well, I got my wish. I borrowed a Panamera 4S E-hybrid for a couple of days and, as the advertising says, it really does combine the performance of a sports car with the comfort of a sedan.

The 4S E-Hybrid is a plug-in. The 134-horsepower electric motor, when combined with an eight-speed, dual-clutch, PDK transmission and a 2.9-litre, twin-turbo V6 engine, generates a system output of 552 horsepower and a maximum system torque of 553 lb./ft. With its updated battery pack and improved range, this one boasts a top speed of 298 km/h. When launched, you can go from zero to 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds.

I found the car to be extremely nimble and easy to drive. One

我把這輛保時捷駛到密西沙加市Eglinton Avenue夾Satellite Drive 角落的偌大停車場內測試，證實廠方所言非虛。試車時真的要非常小 心，因為從零加速到時速100公里只是3秒多，實在很容易失控。

negative: when the weather was damp, the brakes felt spongy.

They worked perfectly, but I didn’t feel as confident using them as when conditions were dry.

這輛4S E-Hybrid十分靈巧，非常容易操控。只是它也有一小個問 題：在天氣潮濕時，剎車掣有點鬆軟像海綿的感覺，但其實剎車掣也 運作得很好，只是操控時沒有像路面乾爽的那麼有信心。

Now, let’s be honest. The 4S E-Hybrid looks like a stretched 911 in order to accommodate the two additional doors. The car comes with a Sport Design front end (which was optional on previous Panameras), large side cooling openings and enlarged air-intake grilles. At the rear, a revamped light strip now runs over the trunk lid and connects with the two LED taillight clusters.

坦白說，4S E-Hybrid看似是保時捷911加了兩個車門的伸長版。 它的車頭前端是跑車設計(這在舊款的Panamera屬於選置項目)，兩側 冷卻風口寬大，配上面積更大的進氣格柵。重新設計的車尾燈條橫過 行李箱蓋，與兩側LED尾燈組融為一體。 我喜歡所有保時捷車款的駕駛倉，不僅僅是4S E-Hybrid。這款車 換上新的駕駛方向盤，並大量使用優質真皮，令人更加心儀。此外， Panamera提供道路限速和公路工程的資訊，同時有多種輔助系統如防 止偏離行車線輔助、夜視輔助 、轉線輔助、泊車輔助連360度環景攝 像鏡、自動感應定速控制系統和平視顯示器等。

Inside, you’ll find a new steering wheel and extensive use of leather and premium materials. The Panamera offers speed limit and highway construction information, plus an extensive range of assistance systems: Lane Keeping Assist, Night Vision Assist, Lane Change Assist, Park Assist including Surround View, Adaptive Cruise Control and head-up display.

Automobiles 我和太太都身材高大，然而只要把座椅推後，我 們都坐得很舒適。鑽進這保時捷後，感覺就好像雙手 戴上了尺寸恰好的手套般舒服，而一切盡在手指尖的 掌控之中。 不過，後座位則是另一回事，沒有足夠空間容納 像我們這樣高大的人。如果你只是坐短程（最多不超過 30公里）而不是長途，同時坐直身子的話，後排座位 是沒有問題的。 說到短途，E-Hybrid提供Hybrid自動駕駛模式、 E-Power和幾個充電模式，讓你可在寧靜中駕駛近30 公里。若耗電完畢，從電能轉用汽油是無縫的。 毫無疑問，這是保時捷的另一個成功型號。

way back, we were very comfy. In fact, we were so comfortable, sliding into this Porsche felt like slipping on a glove. Plus, everything’s at your fingertips.

The back seat is another matter, however. There is not a lot of room for people our size, but if you’re not travelling far, and you sit up straight, you’ll be OK. Speaking of short trips—let’s say less than 30 kilometres—you should be able to do them in silence.

The E-Hybrid comes with driving modes Hybrid Auto and E-Power and a couple of charging modes. When you get to the EV max, the transition from electricity to gasoline is seamless.

This is another winner from Porsche.
