讓我們一起分享 Tales To Tell 北京出生的華裔電影導演趙婷憑藉《浪跡天地》在各 大電影頒獎禮上風光無限。她在接受媒體採訪時說，作 為電影人，可以用電影講故事，並且與人們一起分享， 是一件非常幸運的事情。是啊，分享，是人類的共情， 在經歷了漫長的疫情之後，相信每一個人對這兩個字都 有了更深的理解和體會。 我很幸運，作為一個雜誌製作人，有機會和我的同 事們一起和讀者們分享—一起追逐一年又一年，一季又 一季不斷變幻的時尚潮流；用一件件華服、一款款首 飾、一道道美食、一處處風景，給讀者講述一個又一個 動人的故事。

By the time you hold this magazine in your hand, the Oscar winners would have been revealed. This year I was rooting for Nomadland, directed by the Beijing-born American filmmaker Chloé Zhao. In a recent interview, she remarked that what she loves most about movie-making is the opportunity to tell stories through her work. Yes, story-telling is a fundamental part of human nature. Anthropologists would even say story-telling is central to human existence. And our cover girl Jessalyn Wanlim also has an inspiring story to tell.

The Chinese-Canadian actress is best known for playing Evie Cho on the hit TV show Orphan Black. In our exclusive interview, she shares with us her 20-year journey from budding ballerina at the National Ballet School of Canada to leading lady in the CBC original series Workin' Moms. Her success was not without struggle, but in the end, persistence and hardwork paid off.

又到五月花季，時尚大舞台一如繁花般五彩繽紛， 我們迫不及待要與讀者們分享。在這個舞台上各大品牌 上演着2021-22秋冬時裝大秀；蕭邦用時針撥動鑽石， 跳起歡快的舞蹈；香奈兒以令人歎為觀止的珠寶首飾唱 出了一首獻給水都威尼斯的讚歌；路易士威登把原本再 普通不過的腳踏車騎入了奢華的殿堂。

We also go face to face with up and coming singer SSUN. Born in Shanghai and now a full-time Toronto resident, this young talent recently released her first-ever English EP. Integrating her many years of classical training in both music theory and composition, her music spans multiple genres and is both fresh and familiar at the same time. She is equally at ease modelling the latest in our spring fashion feature, a collaboration with Bayview Village Shopping Centre.

女人如花，由繁花我自然想到了女性，其實在當今 世界，女性全然不像花兒那樣嬌柔脆弱，在我們這期所 分享的許多故事裡，都有一個努力奮鬥自強不息的女性 靈魂——卡加利華裔女演員溫林堅持二十年，終於在 CBC原創劇集《 Workin’ s Moms》中擔綱；多倫多的歌手 SSUN，接受嚴格的音樂訓練多年，如今攜發行單曲之 勢闖入時尚圈。

While most of us embrace the warmer weather, changing seasons can wreak havoc on our skin and hair. But fret not: we’ve tried and reviewed the latest products to address your hair and skin concerns.

別忘了，五月還有一個特別獻給母親的日子，我要 在此向所有母親，所有女性道一聲珍重，希望你們多多 愛護、保養自己。雖說對你們的生活我提不出多少建 議，但起碼，我能在這個容易引起皮膚不適的季節，與 你們分享一些護膚養髮的應急方法。 無 論 喜 怒哀樂，有分享，我們的生活才會變得更 好。在未來的日子裡，eliteGen會把更多更好的內容分 享給你們，我親愛的讀者。

And just as spring flowers are now bursting in a riotous display of colour, this issue, too, is blooming with brilliant ideas like Chopard’s dancing diamonds, Chanel’s sparkling ode to the City of Water, Louis Vuitton’s bespoke bicycles and, of course, a first look at what to expect on the fashion front for fall/winter.

So turn the page, and enjoy.

與 SSUN 同沐陽光 HELLO

SSUNS H 新晉加藉華裔歌手SSUN聯同 《eliteGen》前往Bayview Village親試今季最潮新品。

Rising Chinese-Canadian star SSUN and eliteGen head to Bayview Village to test drive some of this season’s hottest trends Story | Leslie Yip Photography | Simon J Boucher-Harris

半透明多層次穿搭 誇張肩線 大件配飾 金色粗鏈項鏈 黃色包包 過去一年，相信大家穿得最多的便是 運動服，現在都急不及待迎接時裝潮流的 回歸。因此，我們相約剛推出首張EP的歌 手SSUN前往Bayview Village購物中心， 親身試穿清單上的最潮單品。

Sheer layerS, check.

Bold ShoulderS, check. overSized acceSSorieS, check.

Gold chain necklace, check. yellow BaG, check. after a year of lazy lockdown loungewear, we are more than ready to welcome some fashion panache back into our lives. and so, armed with a style checklist, we took singer SSun, who has just released her debut eP, to try out some haute new looks at Bayview village Shopping centre.

S H INE!

今季時裝潮流充滿希望與趣味。高腰、闊腳、燈籠 袖及誇張的肩線象徵強勢，而利用半透明上衣的多層次 穿搭加上蓬鬆的細節位可令造型剛中帶柔。誇張的配飾 散發自信，閃爍的物料及質感令視覺效果更突出。基本 色調以單色為主，但整體造型卻絕不單調。

The fashion mood this season is definitely filled with hope and playfulness. high waistlines, wide legs, balloon sleeves and dramatic shoulders create strong definition, softened by sheer layers and flouncy details. Statement accessories exude confidence, while sparkling materials and shiny textures add visual interest. The base palette may be monochromatic, but the look is anything but monotonous.

關於SSUN 在上海土生土長，及後移居多倫多的SSUN，說得上是現世代的音樂奇才。父親為鋼琴老師而母親則是歌手，她自三歲 起已經跟音樂結下不解之緣。雖然自小接受古典音樂的樂理及作曲培訓，但她的唱功及音樂路線非常廣泛，能輕鬆駕馭不同 類型的作品，如騷靈的 「Dear Lover」 、 「Let Me Go」 ，簡單的曲調讓她盡情展現其嗓音，又或者節奏明快的流行歌 「Motive」。 除了音樂之外，SSUN的藝術品味亦見於她的街頭時尚風格。想欣賞她的最新MV及下載其EP「Eclipse」，可參閱 ssunmusic.com。

aBouT SSun Born and raised in Shanghai before relocating to Toronto, SSun is somewhat of a modern-day musical prodigy. with a piano teacher father and singer mother, she began her own musical journey at the tender age of three. while she is classically trained in music theory and composition, her vocals and melodies are far-ranging and span multiple genres, seamlessly shifting from soulful songs such as “dear lover” and “let Me Go”, which showcases her effortless vocals over stripped-down keys, to more upbeat, quintessential pop songs like “Motive”.

SSun’s artistry extends beyond her music. her high-fashion street style is a juxtaposition to her refined vocals. To download her eP Eclipse to view her latest music videos, visit ssunmusic.com.

無論是在城市縱橫，抑或是鄉郊馳騁，只要踏着的是Louis Vuitton 這輛跟Maison Tambotte聯乘的LV Bike單車，總會惹來艷羨目光。 Maison Tambotte是成立於1912年的巴黎製造單車品牌，Louis Vuitton與之合作的首輛LV Bike單車，便是以其經典的Parisian型號作藍 本，於巴黎手工精製，結合了Louis Vuitton和Maison Tambotte在皮革和 木工方面的精湛工藝。 全車處處可見Louis Vuitton的經典元素，像是Monogram花朵圖案 的齒輪盤牙盤、「LV」造型的車架，就連坐墊、把手、剎車線、後行李架 和前籃等，同樣包裹以品牌的經典皮革。 金屬車架由Maison Tambotte在巴黎以手工打造，採用琺瑯與鍍鉻 鋼材質，透過拉伸與輕化處理，增強車體的強度，達至平穩舒適的騎乘 體驗。輪圈及泥擋以紅色染色木材製作，並帶有Louis Vuitton的圖形標 誌，精製皮革製成的座墊加入了避震彈簧，增加舒適度。 為了避免失竊及確保車主安全，單車還加入了整合式追蹤器，可以 透過手機應用程式進行定位追蹤。若要在晚間出行，可以輕觸坐墊下方 和車籃的LED燈來啟動夜間模式，即使身處黑暗也可安全騎車。 LV Bike現有五款型號供選擇，每款均提供步進式或封閉式車架， 並配備二速驅動系統，有三種不同呎碼以適應不同身高人士。紅或黑 色的Monogram單車，紅色皮革坐墊綴有Monogram打孔圖案；Damier Graphite車款則以黑灰色調、亮黃色皮革細節裝飾；「Since 1854」 Monogram款更採用了女裝藝術總監Nicolas Ghesquière全新設計的 Monogram皮革。所有車款包括亮眼的Lime Yellow自行車，都可在車架 或坐墊下方，以熱壓印工法印上個人的姓名縮寫。 此外還有限量版的Urs Fisher紅色和白色兩個版本。顧客可於全球 任何一家Louis Vuitton專門店訂購，在巴黎完成製造和組裝後，將會以 木箱包裝運送，無需組裝。

前籃和齒輪盤牙盤也都顯現Monogram花朵圖案。 The LV classic monogrammed flower can be seen on the basket, chainset and interlocking.

Whether you’re on a city adventure or exploring the countryside, you’ll be turning heads with these two-wheeled steeds.

Born from a fruitful collaboration between Louis Vuitton and Maison Tambotte Paris, an artisanal Paris-based bike manufacturer established in 1912, the first-ever LV Bike is a reinterpretation of the classic Parisian model. Handcrafted in Paris, it fuses the savoir-faire of Vuitton’s leather craftmanship with Tambotte’s woodwork.

Key signatures include a monogrammed flower chainset and an interlocking LV-shaped frame, nods to Louis Vuitton’s heritage. Carefully selected leather envelopes each seat and the handlebars. The bike is available with a leather basket in front or a leather luggage rack above the rear wheel that can be adjusted with an elastic strap.

The metal frame is made of enamelled and chromed steel, stretched and lightened, strengthening the bike and allowing for a smoother ride.

The seat, covered in refined leather, boasts shock-absorbent springs for added comfort. Wood has been incorporated for the mudguards and the multi-spoke rims are lined with wooden red-and-white branded wheel trim.

To ensure both the bike’s and rider’s safety, an integrated tracker allows for same-time location via a dedicated smartphone app. For evening rides, discrete LED lights have been fitted under the seat and on the luggage rack, easily activated with a simple touch.

There are currently five models of the LV Bike available, with either a step-through or closed frame, all equipped with a two-speed drivetrain.

Three sizes are available to suit different heights.

The Monogram bicycle, with red or black leather detailing, features a red seat fitted with iconic Louis Vuitton perforated Mahina leather.

The Damier Graphite bicycle mixes shades of black and grey with bright yellow leather details. The eye-catching Lime Yellow bicycle, as well as the Damier Graphite and Monogram models, can all be personalized with one’s initials hot-stamped on the frame below the seat. The LV Bike also comes in the new “Since 1854” Monogram, created by Nicolas Ghesquière, artistic director of women’s collections. There is also the limited-edition Urs Fisher Red and White version.

Each bike is crafted in Paris upon order at any Louis Vuitton store worldwide. The bike is delivered in a wooden crate with no assembly required.

Prices start at approximately $16,000.

金屬車架由Maison Tambotte在巴黎以手工打造。 The metal frame is handcrafted by Maison Tambotte in Paris.

超越時空 GiorGio ArmAni Privé fAll/winter 2021 transcending Seasons and Boundaries Story | Leslie Yip

Photography | Giorgio Armani

時裝世界一向均是以「季節」作分界和主導，但時裝大師 Giorgio Armani於去年5月宣布，他的高訂服系列將超脫這個 界線，是一個「沒有季節之分」的系列。 就如大師所說，時裝只有美而不應設定界線，因此華美 豐盈的天鵝絨可以配搭如蟬翼般通透的透明硬紗和薄紗，精緻 的吊帶裙襯可配襯線條明朗的細條紋面料外套；色調也是自由 跳脫猶如四季—春天的水綠、夏日的鈷藍、秋季的紫紅和冬天 的普魯士藍。不依常規的組合，卻併發出誘人魅力，特別是華 衣上的水晶和亮片，閃爍出非一般的色彩和光芒。 而在比例運用方面，更是巧妙運用對立統一的細節，緊 身上衣和飄逸長裙同場，幾何線條的領口，重新定義輪廓線條 和裁剪比例。 今次Giorgio Armani高訂時裝秀不但擺脫了季節之限，亦 打破了舉行地點的地理界限，雖然今次的高訂時裝秀是巴黎高 訂時裝周的一部分，實際上是在意大利舉行的。

In a fashion world governed by the seasons, Giorgio Armani announced last May that his latest haute couture collection would be “seasonless”.

True to his word, lush velvet appeared alongside ephemeral organza and tulle; delicate slip dresses followed by structured pinstripe. The palette ranged from spring aqua to summer cobalt, autumnal magenta to winter Prussian blue.

Tying together this seeming discord is a glow—micro-crystals and sequins seem to glaze every garment, adding a new dimension of light and colour.

There is also ample play on proportions. Body-skimming jackets and voluminous dresses shared the runway, while geometric necklines provided excitement and definition.

Merging different seasons is not the only thing that sets this collection apart. It has also dismantled traditional, physical boundaries. Although the show was streamed as part of Paris' haute couture week, it actually took place in Italy.

破天荒的時裝秀在米蘭的Palazzo Orsini舉 行，這座華麗的巴洛克式建築距離市內備受推崇 的時裝區Quadrilatero della Moda僅數步之遙； 亦是自1996年以來Armani王國的總部和工作 室，無數作品從構思到實物的誕生之地。 由於疫情持續，Giorgio Armani這場高訂時 裝秀也是在沒有現場觀眾下閉門進行，之後透 過品牌的社交媒體發放，也讓更多人可以近距離 欣賞到如此精彩的高訂時裝秀。Giorgio Armani 稱︰「 高訂服紮根於時尚歷史，反映了超凡的創 造力和剪裁技巧，卻只是極少數人可以接觸到。 而今，通過互聯網的普及化，我們能夠讓每個人 仿若坐在秀場第一排座位般參與其中。」

For the first time, it was staged at Palazzo Orsini in Milan, an ornate baroque mansion a few steps from Quadrilatero della Moda, the city’s revered fashion district. It has been serving as the headquarters and atelier for the Armani kingdom since 1996, and this is where Armani clothes are conceived and take shape.

Due to the ongoing pandemic, the show took place behind closed doors and without an audience, but the entire spectacle was broadcast through the brand’s social media channels, thus bringing the magic of haute couture to everyone around the world.

Says Armani: “couture is rooted in fashion history. It represents the pinnacle of creativity and sartorial skill, but in a world available only to very few. Today, through the democracy of the internet, we are able to offer a front-row seat to everyone.”

Making ScentS Nose documentary uncovers the secrets of Dior’s perfume creator Story | Leslie Yip Photography | Dior

Dior形容揭開香水世界迷人神秘面紗的紀錄片《Nose》為非 一般的「香氣襲人」電影。這部電影追隨旗下首席調香師François Demachy兩年，足跡遍及歐亞以訪尋製作原材料，而對我這樣一 個熱愛香水和美食的人來說，更會即時聯想起有異曲同工之妙的美 食紀錄片《Chef’ s Table》和《Michael Pollan's Cooked》—主人翁們 都同樣充滿熱情、投入和永不言倦。 為了烹製一道美味佳餚，廚師會上下尋索，追求完美食材， 費盡心思設計最有趣的組合，配合最佳烹飪方法來感動客人。看 《Nose》，只覺那份打造教人一嗅鍾情香味的堅持和過程中的難度 不相伯仲。 François Demachy家鄉Grasse的玫瑰、意大利Calabrian的佛 手柑、馬達加斯加Nosy Be的依蘭、印尼Sulawesi島的廣藿香、愛

The House of Dior calls it an atypical smell-good movie. To me, Nose is akin to a scent-lover’s version of a great food documentary, like Netflix’s Chef’s Table or Cooked.

I’m one who is passionate about fine perfumes, as well as superb food. To create a great-tasting dish, an inspired chef will search high and low for the perfect ingredients and combine them in interesting ways, using the best cooking methods. Dior’s Nose shows us that the process of creating a great scent is no lesser a feat.

The documentary team spent two years following François Demachy, one of the greatest noses in global perfumery, as he explored the origin of the precious ingredients used in his creations. From the May roses of Grasse to Calabrian bergamot, Indonesian patchouli and Sri Lankan sandalwood, we meet the passionate men and women who painstakingly cultivate the exceptional raw materials to be distilled into beautiful scents.

Dior Homme Eau de Parfum is a polyphonic symphony of woods, including patchouli heart, which comes from Indonesia. 100 ml | $124

In Nose, we see the harvest of May roses in Carole Biancalana’s flower fields. They form the heart of Miss Dior Rose N’Roses. 100 ml | $146

J’adore Infinissime contains jasmines and tuberoses from Grasse, where Dior head perfumer François Demachy grew up. 100 ml | $185

爾蘭海岸的龍涎香……，到世界各地遊歷尋覓、鑑香，選擇原材料、造訪 合作農場花田、採摘、提煉、創作……，《NOSE》鉅細無遺地捕捉了香水 創作的每一步。跟有機花卉種植場建立緊密的夥伴關係，幫助珍貴的手工 藝和傳統專業知識得以延續，確保原材料的可持續性，不同範疇工作人員 的投入……，從方方面面帶領觀眾步入一個充滿美和香氣的世界。 情景交融的《NOSE》，是一部賞心悅目的電影—各種天然材料的來源 教人動容，充滿詩意的旁白和配樂引領觀眾情緒，猶如親臨其境。然而最 大的得著應該是︰從此會以不一樣的角度看香水。 往身上輕噴Miss Dior Rose N’Roses，仿如看見Carole Biancalana在 法國Grasse的Domaine de Manon花圃內的粉紅玫瑰；靠近聞一下J’ adore Infinissimie，便會想起原來要700公斤的茉莉花才能提煉到1公升的精華； 至於François Demachy在片末調製的Dior Homme eau de toilette，我終於 知道了當中成份廣藿香的出處。 跟許多介紹美食的紀錄片一樣，觀眾會為廚師們而喝采，《NOSE》 亦讓觀眾對香水的前世今生有了更深體會和欣賞。推薦大家於Apple TV、 Amazon Prime Video、Google Play和Canal VOD收看片長126分鐘的 《NOSE》。

The movie is a joy to watch: the scenery of where these natural ingredients come from is awe-inspiring. The narration is poetic and the diverse soundtrack transports you to the time and place of the story. But the greatest takeaway is that you will never look at perfumes the same way.

Spritz on Miss Dior Rose N’Roses and you are smelling the pink roses you saw from Carole Biancalana’s Domaine de Manon in Grasse, France.

Take a sniff of J’adore Infinissimi, and you are reminded that it takes seven hundred kilograms of jasmine flowers to make one kilo of absolute. And that bottle of Dior Homme eau de toilette? Demachy was working on its final blend in the movie, and now you know where patchouli comes from.

Much like how food documentaries let you appreciate how great chefs come to be, Nose instills a deeper appreciation of what goes on inside and behind a perfume bottle.

Nose is available on Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video, Google Play and Canal VOD.

溫林於2014年出演美劇 《足壇密探》 。 Wanlim in the TV series Matador (2014).

在一個亞洲演員、角色和故事等代表性仍然不足的行業， 溫林走過的路成為其他同途有心人的鼓舞和典範。她曾在許 多北美主流電視劇集中扮演角色，如《Gossip Girl》、《All My Children》、《Scoundrels》、《Orphan Black》，當然還有不可不 提的《Workin' Moms》。

In an industry still reckoning with an underrepresentation of Asian actors, characters and stories, Wanlim has blazed a trail for others to follow, having landed roles in many major North American TV shows such as Gossip Girl, All My Children, Scoundrels, Orphan Black, and of course, Workin’ Moms.

我們早前跟溫林視像遙距訪談，她與我們分享了作為亞裔 的演藝之路、在疫情期間的特別攝製經歷，及第一次當媽媽， 如何平衡家庭和工作的親身感受。

We sat down with Wanlim earlier this year—virtually of course—to chat about her journey as an actor of Chinese Indonesian and Filipino descent, and to talk about filming during the pandemic while balancing the realities of being a first-time working mom.

原來，溫林的演藝歷程並不是由演戲開始。「我是姐姐的 跟屁蟲，她所做的一切，我也想做。父母很開明，讓我發掘自 己喜歡做的事。姐姐愛舞蹈音樂，我也要跳舞學音樂。」

But first, Wanlim wanted us to know that her journey didn’t start with acting: “I started off in everything arts and dance related,” says Wanlim, “following in my sister’s footsteps. Everything she did, I wanted to do and my parents were so open to just finding out what I loved to do.”

才剛三歲，溫林便參加了舞蹈班，跟着是學拉小提琴、彈 鋼琴、歌唱班……然而這些只是淺嘗即止，演戲才是主角。

At just three years old, Wanlin was enrolled in dance, followed by lessons learning the violin, the piano and how to sing. But none of those were in the cards. Acting was.

踏出第一步

THE EARLY YEARS

溫林的演員之路開始得有點突然。當她還是紐約Juilliard School的學生時，好朋友說服她參加非工會的廣告片和音樂錄 像試鏡。其中有一次，溫林在熱門流行曲《It Wasn’t Me》演唱 者Shaggy的音樂錄像中扮作和唱歌手。首次表演的「感覺太棒 了。」沒多久她又得到在長篇電視肥皂劇《All My Children》的角 色，讓她可以支付演戲課程的費用。到2009年，她的代理人告 訴她是時候搬到洛杉磯去。「這是要邁出的一大步。作為一個 在紐約的演員，演出機會始終有限，而他們覺得我已經準備好 了。」於是她即時收拾，片刻也不耽擱地踏上征途。 溫林形容第一年在洛杉磯是「出乎意料地成功」。然而， 即使演藝之門是打開了，但她同時也有了許多被拒於門外的遭 遇。「記得我到達洛杉磯三星期後，那時一個著名美國處境劇 說會請我做一個客串角色，經過數不盡的來回通話，終於來到 首次綵排圍讀劇本，可是跟着便被通知返回自己的更衣室。我 也不知發生什麼問題，心裏很不安，之後便被告知我被解僱 了，那角色落到一個5呎9吋的金髮女郎身上。」這麽沮喪痛苦 的打擊，令她懷疑自己能否面對將來可能會陸續有來的類似事 件。「我會想︰是否被荷里活裁掉了？」

Her career as an actor started unexpectedly while attending New York’s Juilliard School. It was a close friend who convinced her to crash auditions for non-union commercials and music videos. In fact, one of Wanlim’s first acting appearances was pretending to be a back-up singer for Shaggy (the singer best known for the hit song “It Wasn’t Me”) in one of his music videos. “It was awesome,” she says. That experience was quickly followed by her role on the long-running soap opera, All My Children, which allowed her to pay for acting classes. In 2009, her agents told her it was time to make the move—to Los Angeles, that is. “That was a big step for me, As a New York actor I think you were limited to how much work you could actually do, and they said I was ready.” So, she packed her bags and “hauled-ass” to L.A. Wanlim describes her first year as surprisingly successful. But for all the doors that opened, plenty of doors closed, too. Wanlim shares a painful anecdotal moment. After being booked as a guest star on a well-known American sitcom three weeks after arriving in L.A.—after an “insane amount of callbacks”—she landed the role. After attending the first table-read, she says, “I got sent back to my dressing room and I was like, ‘something’s weird here’. Sure enough, they fired me and ended up going with a five foot nine blonde.” She described it as a heart-wrenching moment: “It just made me question how I had to build up the strength to stomach this on a weekly basis.” Feeling somewhat disheartened, Wanlim questioned if she was cut out for Hollywood.

《黑色孤兒院》 是一部科幻驚悚电视劇，溫林在劇中飾演大反派Evie Cho。 Evie Cho, played by Wanlim, is the main villain in Orphan Black season 4.

經過了這些年的歷練，角色的得失已不再讓溫林感到困 擾。反之，這讓有着父系華裔和印尼血統的她更勇敢面對自 己的背景在演藝路上的影響。 「我不能改變自己的亞裔背景， 那為什麼要浪費時間在這些事上呢？」被類型化雖然是個障 礙，但同樣也可以是機會。「試過因為我是當中唯一的有色 人種，會令整個組合顯得更多元化而被選上。在演藝界生存 就如進行一場艱辛的拔河比賽，是在測試考驗你的意志。」 事實上，就在她快要放棄，打算轉行當地產經紀時，收到了 《Workin’Moms》的試鏡電話。 「你知道嗎？我那刻在想︰我還 是應該去試，當演戲工作靜下來時才做房地產的工作好了。」 她付諸行動，演戲之餘，當下也在為下一個地產經紀牌照努 力中。

此一時彼一時 亞裔演員Sandra Oh吳珊卓憑《Killing Eve》成為去年的 金球獎視后；CBC另一大熱處境劇《Kim’ s Convenience》中 的加拿大華裔演員Simu Liu劉思慕更成為Marvel電影中第一 位華裔超級英雄；Paul Sun-Hyung最近在《Mandalorian》擔 任要角……亞裔演員在北美以至歐洲的演出機會和重要性均 有所增加。溫林接受卡加利660 News訪問時曾分享過自己的 感受︰「你何曾見過有色人種擔任主角？每一次得到的試鏡 都是扮演主角身邊古靈精怪的好朋友之類……令我不禁想︰ 我未來的演藝事業是不是就這樣？」能夠看到行業中出現的 積極正面改變，主要角色和故事情節的多元化，對她來說都 是激動人心的。「就如《Workin’Moms》，我和飾演我男朋友 的菲律賓裔男演員Alex Mallari Jr.是一對很有趣的亞裔情侶。 但角色沒有其實設定族裔背景，他們本可以讓任何人扮演。」 2017年開播的《Workin’Moms》，今年已來到第五季， 故事主題聚焦於返回職場的媽媽們，是備受熱捧的喜劇。溫 林說雖然這齣劇重點並不是有關於文化差異，也不是要宣揚 文化共融，但她所飾演的媽媽Jenny卻也一定程度反映了亞 洲社區的觀念。「我喜歡扮演Jenny這角色有很多原因，其中 一樣是引起觀眾共鳴，欣賞Jenny性格是如此堅強，總是要 過自己想過的生活和找出解決方法來。觀眾注意的並不是她 的文化背景，而是故事和角色無分地域，可引起全世界觀眾 共鳴；即使你不是一個母親，也一樣會被感動，因為我們身 邊到處都是在職媽媽。」

Today, however, being passed over for roles is something Wanlim doesn’t bother getting upset over. Instead it has emboldened the actor whose father is of Chinese and Indonesian descent. When asked about how her background has played a part in her journey, she says, “I can’t help that I’m Asian and I can’t help that sometimes I’m not a specific type of Asian.

I’m like, what am I doing wasting my time?” But just as typecasting can be a hindrance, it can also be a benefit. “I’ve had opportunities where I’m literally the only person of colour in the mix, and they end up going with me because I’m ‘diverse’. So, it’s this really awful tug of war. L.A. has definitely tested my will.” And the call to audition for Workin’ Moms came as Wanlim was on the verge of quitting acting altogether. In fact, she was already thinking about her second career in real estate. “It was just one of those things where I was like, ‘You know what, maybe I should just stick it out and see, and do real estate when [acting] is slow’.’’ And that’s where she is now, acting while working on her next real estate license.

ON-SCREEN REPRESENTATION From Sandra Oh as the lead on Killing Eve to the cast of another CBC hit Kim’s Convenience—including the show’s Chinese-Canadian actor Simu Liu set to become Marvel’s first Chinese superhero and Paul Sun-Hyung’s recent role in The Mandalorian—Asian actors are becoming increasingly represented on North American and European screens. During an interview with 660 News in Calgary, Wanlim recalls a recurring feeling throughout her acting career: “You never saw any people of colour who were just in the leading role. Every audition I got was for the quirky best friend, and that’s all I thought my career was going to be.” For Wanlim, it’s inspirational to see such positive changes in the industry and for diversity to be reflected in the main roles and storylines like those recently on Workin’ Moms. “The representation of Asian couples is pretty fantastic. They could have gone with anyone to play this role. I’m excited to work with Alex Mallari Jr., a Filipino-Canadian, who plays my boyfriend.”

Her own excitement about the show going forward is one of the reasons why Workin’ Moms continues to be a hit. Wanlim explains that her character Jenny is a mom first and foremost, and it is fantastic that she also represents the Asian community. But the show is not about cultural differences, and the goal of Workin’ Moms is not to unpeel those types of storylines. Wanlim says she loves playing the role of Jenny for many reason. One of which she says that has also resonated with the audience is that Jenny is such a strong character, a woman who is trying to, says Wanlim, “live her life and figure it out. I don’t think her [culture] is the one thing people are paying attention to.” The show has certainly resonated with a worldwide audience, whether you’re a mom or not. “I feel like the show itself is about working moms everywhere—all working moms.”

2008年，溫林在網絡微型劇Fresh Takes中飾演一個在生活中苦苦掙扎，努力尋找人生 位置的年輕女孩Lizzie。 Wanlim played Lizzie in the Micro-web series Fresh Takes (2008) , a “lost” friend still struggling to find out what she wants to do with her life.

儘管溫林承認在成長過程中會刻意無視自己的文化背景，以 便更易融入身邊周圍的圈子；但初為人母的她卻希望一歲的兒子 認識到她的中國和菲律賓背景。「我以前忽略了的，希望可以補回 給兒子，讓他能同時在中國和菲律賓的價值觀念下成長。」其中一 個方法便是「吃」。「我的家庭是圍着桌子長大的，大家聚集在廚房 裡邊吃邊談。要讓他熟悉所有這些不同口味的食物，對我來說真 的很重要。」 在疫情大流行期間第一次成為真正的在職媽媽，溫林直言有 「不勝負荷」的感覺。幸好她的工作容許她可以留在家中，很感恩 能夠照看兒子，不會錯過他成長中的每一秒。儘管當中也不無遺 憾—在遠方的父母不可以親自探訪，只能每天早上以視頻聊天， 這樣他們就不會錯過孫子的重要里程碑。 每個人都在期待疫情消退，不再有那麼多的限制，溫林說她 到時最希望的不是旅行，不是上餐館。「聽起來好像有點怪，但我 最希望可以帶兒子到雪糕店，一起試吃不同口味的雪糕。」

觀眾可用免費的CBC Gem應用程式，一口氣觀賞五季的 《Workin’Moms》。

A REAL WORKIN’ MOM Although Wanlim admits to disregarding her own culture while growing up so that she would “fit in”, she’s hoping to expose her one-year-old son to both sides of her heritage. “I want my son to be raised with both the Chinese and Filipino values because I was never surrounded by them,” she says. And one of the ways she plans to do that is through food. “My family was raised around the table; all we do is congregate in the kitchen and eat,” says Wanlim. “Getting him familiarized with all of these different flavours is really important to me.”

And what was it like being a real, first-time workin’ mom during the pandemic? Overwhelming says Wanlim, but she says she is grateful that her work has allowed her to stay home. She relishes in the fact that she has been able to watch her boy grow up every second of the day. And although being so far away from her family during this time has been tough, they video chat with her parents every morning so they aren’t missing out on any of their grandson’s big milestones.

To wrap it up, we asked Wanlim what she’s looking forward to most when the pandemic wanes and restrictions are lifted.

“Forget travel, forget going to restaurants,” she says, “I know this sounds so pathetic but it’s being able to go to an ice cream shop and sample the flavours with my son.” 與 《婚外情事》 男主角Dominic West在該劇的拍攝現場。 Wanlim and Dominic West in the TV drama The Affair.

時間之舞

Dancing DiamonDs chopard reintroduces the Happy sport Story | Connie Li Photography | Chopard 「我希望創作一款全天候皆可佩戴的腕錶：無論在健身房、在辦公 室或在市區享用晚餐。」27年前，蕭邦聯合總裁兼藝術總監卡羅琳•舍 費爾基於精鋼和鑽石這種新穎奇特的材質組合，設計出Happy Sport腕 錶，她希望女性不僅通過腕錶讀取時間，更藉此機會欣賞在腕錶上不 斷變幻、靈動旋舞的璀璨鑽石。 活動鑽石之名，源於自舍費爾的母親於1976年說的一句話：「自 由無羈的鑽石是最幸福快樂的」。活動鑽石跳脫束縛，在錶盤兩層藍寶 石玻璃間自由旋舞，而正是女性的一舉一動，為活動鑽石提供動力， 讓靈動畫面分秒不同。

“I wanted a watch that I could wear all day long—at the gym, in the office or for a dinner in town.”

With that expression 27 years ago, Chopard artistic director and co-president Caroline Scheufele captured the spirit of the era by devising a sports watch based on, at the time, the unprecedented mingling of steel and diamonds.

Happy Sport was born out of this bold vision almost three decades ago and Scheufele’s hope was that women would no longer simply look at their watch to read the time, but also revel in the choreography of the dancing diamonds.

Happy Sport ‘tHe FIrSt’ Happy Sport the First第一款腕錶發行1993枚，旨在向經典之作的誕生年 份致敬；第二款腕錶發行788枚，象徵舍費爾的幸運數字。全新Happy Sport the First腕錶搭載由148個零件組成的Chopard 09.01-C型自動上鏈機芯，機芯 的直徑為20.4毫米，具備42小時動力儲備，在各方面都與1993年推出的原作 有異曲同工之妙。它圓潤的錶殼配以沉穩的銀色錶盤，七顆活動鑽石在錶盤上 方的兩層藍寶石水晶玻璃之間自由舞動，幽深的藍色光澤與錶耳和錶冠上鑲嵌 的五顆凸圓形藍寶石遙相呼應。

Chopard recently revealed Happy Sport ‘the First’, in every way, similar to the original model introduced in 1993. the Happy Sport collection is 20.4mm in diameter with a 148-part Chopard 09.01-C movement—with automatic winding and a 42-hour power reserve. With seven dancing diamonds and five cabochon-cut sapphires set on the lugs and crown of the watch.

兩款Happy Sport the First及Happy Sport-33 其中一款的錶殼，均採用新型精鋼材質Lucent Steel A223。這種精鋼耗時4年研發而成，是一種 具有高耐磨度的合金，比普通精鋼更亮澤，更堅 固，且具有抗過敏特性。它的成份中有70%來自 回收再利用金屬，在位於奧地利的尖端工作坊中 製作而成，有效減少了與將材料運輸至蕭邦瑞士 工作坊而產生的碳足跡。

Chopard uses a particularly innovative steel for the cases of the two new Happy Sport ‘the First’ series and the Happy Sport-33 model.

Lucent Steel a223 is a steel alloy that combines anti-allergenic virtues with the brightness and sturdiness of ordinary steel. It resulted from four years of research and development that now enables it to join the ranks of precious metals.

Lucent Steel a223 is 70 per cent recycled metals manufactured in a state-of-the-art plant located in austria, thereby limiting the carbon footprint related to shipping materials to Chopard’s Swiss workshops.

人們此際不斷狂玩Cyberpunk 2077的meme。其實不用到2077，我們 的社會如今已經夠Cyberpunk了。瑞典設計團隊Front Design好像預視人類 未來一樣，用設計創造出一個人造野生環境。他們與意大利品牌Moroso發表 一個名為Design by Nature傢俬系列，索性用科技來生產大自然出現的石頭 青苔……。將來地球生態毀滅之後，這些「人造野生」設計應該會大行其道。

Swedish design team Front Design has applied its futuristic vision, in conjunction with Italian brand Moroso, to a furniture collection. Design by Nature uses technology to recreate natural elements, from rocks to mosses.

Front Design的設計的確討喜，他們跟Moroso合作，利用現在最高科技 3D掃描技術，將海邊沖洗到光禿禿的地貌、森林裡的樹枝和長滿青苔、地衣 或者藻類的大石頭這些大自然裡面最平凡不過的元素轉化為傢俬。

And the pieces are full of fun. The design team worked with Moroso and used cutting-edge 3D scanning technology to make furniture pieces that look like weathered seaside landscapes, tree moss and even algae-covered rocks among other naturescapes.

Front與Moroso不是要造一張梳化，在上面印上幾可亂真的圖案來製造 幻覺，反而是希望完完整整將一舊野外石頭擺入客廳，想達到的效果，就是 用剷泥機到森林剷起一片風景，再將它原汁原味連帶青苔野藻掉入屋中。所 以Design by Nature的「梳化」是連形態都跟足大自然，你要坐要躺，就有如 你爬山時找一處舊石頭席地而坐一樣。

Their designs aren’t about making a sofa upholstered in realistic printed patterns. Instead, the design team wants to bring the look of a rock in the wild into the living room—“to create the feeling that someone had lifted a whole glade from a forest with a gigantic shovel and moved it in a home,” says Front Design co-founder Sofia Lagerkvist.

Design by Nature整個項目足足用了四年去研究，並非單單為了造出 一張似石頭的梳化，而是研究大自然對於身心健康的影響。Front Design覺 得，自己身為瑞典人北歐人，跟自然環境關係密切，親近自然當然可以緩解 壓力，有益健康。研究甚至包括動物建造的房屋和結構，究竟野生動物如何 選址起屋？在野生動物的設計中可以找到什麼智慧？這些研究成果，都會用 在日後的傢俬設計上。

The collection has been four years in the making. It’s not about producing a rock-like sofa, but how to use nature to enhance well-being. Perhaps it’s the Scandinavian heritage, but Front Design believes the natural environment is part of its core, that being closer to nature is soothing, and good for the mind and soul. Designers even study how animals pick and build their habitats, and then apply their findings to furniture design.

近看那隻高科技3D編織趴地熊，除了線條，不同色彩紗線交疊出來的效果好靚。 The high-tech 3D bear reflects the vivid effects achieved by colourful weaving, Vitra Resting Bear mauve, approximately €900.

用動物造型改變氣氛，Front Design最會玩。 Front Design is known for using animals to create fun.

Design by Nature每張 「梳化」 的質感都無比豐富，透過不同色調混合出來的布料 具有層次。 Each sofa in the Design by Nature collection is rich in texture, with layers of fabrics in different tones.

布料用最新的印刷及紡織方法，模仿地衣青苔的綠調，及其覆蓋的岩石。 The fabrics are made by using the latest printing and weaving methods to emulate moss green and algae on rocks.

在製作上，Front Design除了瘋狂拍攝參考圖片，同時用了傳統的畫 圖掃描。梳化的骨架是木製，利用機器加工雕刻出波浪狀的岩石輪廓。至 於包裹的布料，就用上荷蘭紡織公司Febrik生產的布料。這些布料都是用最 新的印刷及紡織方法，模仿青苔的綠調，模仿地衣覆蓋的岩石。另外一些 布料，則由多種藍色混合而成的紗線編織出來，描繪出海邊的岩石質感。 Design by Nature每張 「梳化」 的質感都無比豐富，透過不同色調混合出來的 布料具有層次。 Vitra，一間致力於可持續發展理念和製作的德國家俬公司，年前找 Front Design設計一些家居裝飾，Front Design決定創造一系列「裝飾動 物」，將大自然生氣帶入家居。該系列由羊毛和陶瓷製成，包括一隻趴地 熊，一隻打貓餅的貓和一對正在睡覺的雀仔。那隻趴地熊用最新的3D編織 法織成。過程中經歷無數次反複試驗，最後用了四種不同顏色的線來達到 想要的紋理及色彩變化。 這隻趴地熊，你可以將它當櫈坐，或者挨着它坐在地下打機。Front Design試驗過，Vitra再多靚櫃靚梳化靚櫈，將這組最後稱之為Resting Animals的裝飾搭配這批傢俬，家居氣氛立即大變，變得更人性化。 Front Design擁有以動物形式製造傢俬的悠久歷史。早在2006年， 他們為荷蘭設計品牌Moooi創建了著名的1:1動物產品系列Animal Thing。 作品包括一張豬茶几，將馬頭兔子頭變燈。在自己家鄉瑞典一個叫 Åbyparken的項目中，Front Design用動物雕塑佈置一個建於50年代的公 園。設計師故意將那些被認定是俗氣的、大多在後花園中作為裝飾的青銅 雕塑，重新帶入日常生活。一群動物在公園的長椅上陪伴隨遊客，造就一 個又一個美妙風景。

For production, Front Design uses traditional drawing methods, as well as photography. The wooden frame of the sofa is sculpted by machines into silhouettes of undulating rocks. The fabrics are made by Dutch textile firm Febrik, using the latest printing and weaving methods to emulate moss green and algae on rocks. Other fabrics are woven with threads in different shades of blue to reproduce the texture of seaside rocks. Each sofa in the Design by Nature collection is rich in texture, with layers of fabrics in different tones.

When Vitra, a German design company with a spotlight on sustainable thinking and action, engaged Front Design to produce home furnishings, the latter decided to create a series of decorative animals to inject nature into homes. There are pieces made in wool or ceramics, in the form of a lazy bear, a curledup cat and a pair of dozing birds. The bear, a chair as well as a recliner, is made with the latest 3D weaving technique that’s gone through numerous tests to determine the most realistic texture and colour changes.

Front Design has a long history of making animal-shaped furniture. In 2006, it created the 1.1 Animal Thing collection for Dutch brand Moooi: that included a piglet coffee table as well as horse-head and rabbit-head lamps. In another project for Swedish brand Åbyparken, Front Design used animal sculptures to create a 1950s garden. The designers dotted the property with what were regarded by some as “tacky” bronze animal garden sculptures to keep people company and create a peaceful landscape.

Ask for Luigi外觀樸素，一不留神，你很容易錯過。 Because of its unassuming exterior, the restaurant can be easily missed.

Ask for Luigi餐廳位於Gastown煤氣鎮近末端（305 Alexander Street）一個寧靜角落，外觀樸素，一不留神，你很容易就錯過 了。然而，自2013年11月開業以來，這家餐廳已獲多項榮譽，包 括《溫哥華雜誌》年度餐廳、最佳新餐廳、最佳休閒餐廳，及最佳休 閒意大利餐廳；它還獲得Georgia Straight的最佳新餐廳獎，更被 評為加拿大百個最佳餐廳之一。 餐廳名曰「找Luigi」，還真是確有其人。久居溫哥華和奧肯納 根的意大利移民 Luigi Zuliani，採用卑詩省本地食材，堅持以年輕 時在意大利體驗的當地方式烹飪，達成完美的結合。 餐廳以Ask for Luigi命名，原意是，當我們去某處有認識或經 朋友介紹的人照應，總會比較安心，而餐廳團隊就是要創造這種氛 圍，讓每位客人都感到他們是由共同的朋友介紹而來。客人既是由 介紹而來的，當可信任這家餐廳——我在餐廳能得到熟人或朋友般 的款待。 這家餐廳的設計靈感，則來自於舉行過許多意大利家庭晚宴 的老房子，房間裡的木牆有反射聲音的作用，歡聲笑語與觥籌交錯 的混響，產生熱鬧的環境氛圍，勾起客人關於家庭的美好回憶。 要讓客人體驗樸實無華、真正的意大利家庭式款待，Ask For Luigi以其新鮮手工意大利麵為最大特色，餐廳背後團隊Kitchen Table Restaurants公司的烹飪總監Alex Tung說起這點便滔滔不絕。 eG：新鮮的手工義大利麵與乾麵相比，主要區別是什麼？ Alex Tung：我非常喜愛新鮮的手工意大利麵pasta Fresca， 與乾麵pasta secca，這其實取決於醬汁和調味料。歷史悠久的 意大利麵名牌Rustichella d’Abruzzo，其專有的Spaghettone del Leone硬質小麥麵，造就更厚的意大利麵，有完美的「彈牙」質感。 Carbonara(雞蛋、芝士及煙肉)或Cacio e Pepe Spaghettone(芝 士、蒜頭)是我最喜歡的深夜小吃。意大利麵就是一切。

Located at a quiet corner on the edge of Gastown, Ask for Luigi might easily be missed and passed by because of its unassuming exterior. Yet since its opening in November 2013, this Italian restaurant has gone on to be named one of Canada’s 100 Best Restaurants.

As well, it has won numerous local accolades, including: Vancouver Magazine’s Restaurant of the Year, Best New Restaurant, Best Casual and Best Casual Italian; and Georgia Straight’s Best New Restaurant.

Ask for Luigi is inspired by the life of Luigi Zuliani, an Italian immigrant who lived in Vancouver and the Okanagan. Utilizing the province’s readily accessible produce, he stayed true to the Italian regional cooking he grew up with.

The name Ask for Luigi is indicative of the concept that people are more inclined to have a better experience when they go where they will know somebody – a restaurant that creates an atmosphere where guests feel like they’ve been sent over by a mutual friend who believes they will be in good hands.

The restaurant’s design was inspired by the wood-walled rooms in many old houses where Italian family dinners take place, where the wood’s acoustic quality creates an ambient sound of voices and cutlery clicking on plates that will take any guest back to the old, happy days.

Ask for Luigi introduces guests to unpretentious, true Italian familystyle hospitality and specializes in fresh handmade pasta. eliteGen recently had a pleasant chat with Alex Tung, culinary director of Kitchen Table Restaurants, which is the team behind Ask For Luigi.

Q: What are the major differences between using fresh and dried, pasta?

A: I have love in my heart for both pasta Fresca and pasta secca, and it truly depends on the sauce and condiment. Nothing beats the perfect al dente texture of a thick-gauge spaghetti, like Spaghettone del Leone

by Rustichella d’Abruzzo. Carbonara or Cacio e Pepe Spaghettone is my favorite late-night snack. Pasta is everything.

極具意大利風味的肉醬通粉。 Rigatoni alla Bolognese, so full of Italian personality.

芝士鮮果多士。 Stracciatella on toast.

eG：哪些義大利麵和開胃菜不容錯過？ AT：麵食是Ask for Luigi的基石，團隊每天都製作新鮮的麵 食，西西里風格的肉丸、鳳尾魚和雞蛋是主食。我是這裡的野豬 肉醬寬條麵的忠實粉絲。對我來說，沒有什麼比pappardelle all’ Uovo寬條意大利麵那新鮮濃鬱蛋黃柔滑活潑的質感更勝一籌了。 前幾天，我在Ask for Luigi吃了新鮮的寬條麵配野豬肉醬，真是完 美！ eG：新鮮製作的意大利麵，是否需要花更長的時間準備？ AT：麵食的製作其實相對簡單，但亦很難掌握，需要優質 的麵粉、雞蛋、水，再加上高超的技術。新鮮意大利麵煮食速度 比乾麵快，我最喜歡的一些意大利麵，很快就可準備好。cacio e Pepe(牛油、黑椒、芝士)只需幾分鐘就可以上碟。一些ragu肉醬 是需要幾天耐心烹調，但那種鮮味和濃鬱風味，使這一切等待都 很值得。 eG：你多久更改一次菜單？你從哪裡攝取靈感？ Ask for Luigi菜單的核心始終保持不變，但大廚Michael Maclean和他的團隊從本地和時令食材汲取靈感，提供多款當日特 色。 Ask for Luigi背後的靈感，並非遙不可及的經典意大利風格， 關鍵在於吸收意大利人的情懷、展示卑詩省的絕美食材，再添加 一些高級技術和一些創意。 溫馨提示：疫情期間，請及時查詢餐廳營業時間，以免向隅。

炸耶菜花、鷹嘴豆、香草和蒜泥蛋黃醬。 Fried cauliflower, chickpeas, herbs and aioli.

Q: What are the must-haves for antipasti and pasta?

A: Pasta is the cornerstone of Ask for Luigi and the team makes fresh pasta daily. The Sicilian-style meatballs and the anchovies and eggs are a staple. I’m also a big fan of the pappardelle with boar ragu. To me, nothing compares to the silky, snappy texture of the fresh egg yolk-heavy pappardelle all’Uovo. The other day, I had fresh pappardelle with a boar ragu here at Ask for Luigi and it was the perfect lunch.

Q: Does it take longer to prepare a pasta dish because it’s freshly made?

A: Pasta is relatively simple, but extremely hard to master. It starts with great ingredients – great flour, the best eggs, good water and good technique. Fresh pasta cooks faster than dried pasta. Some of my favourite pasta dishes, like spaghetti pomodoro or cacio e Pepe, come together in a matter of a few minutes. Some of the ragus are a multi-day labour of love, but the umami and depth of flavour totally make it worth the wait.

Q: How often do you change the menu and where do you get your inspiration from?

A: The core of the Ask For Luigi menu remains fairly constant.

However, chef Michael Maclean and his team take inspiration from local products and seasonality and produce multiple daily features. The inspiration behind Ask for Luigi is really about taking Italian sensibilities and showcasing the beautiful ingredients of British Columbia, as well as adding in some elevated technique and creativity.

British Columbia distillers have reaped a bumper harvest of awards at the 2021 Canadian Artisan Spirit Competition (CASC), winning gold in 10 of 19 categories, as well as a clutch of silver and bronze medals.

The competition, organized by Artisan Distillers Canada (ADC), featured a record number of entries in its fourth year, reflecting the swelling ranks and diversity of artisan distillers across the country.

As well as having different spirit categories, the competition also designated a class for terroir to celebrate territorial aroma profile and “sense of place” of finished spirits. ADC founder Alex Hamer said that though business in the sector has been affected by the pandemic, Canadian distillers are still working hard to produce high-quality spirits.

The Woods Spirit Co.的Pacific North-West Amaro獲Amaro/Vermouth 類別榮譽。 Pacific Northwest Amaro by The Woods Spirit Co. received Best in Class distinction in the Amaro/Vermouth category. 得到2021年Canadian Artisan Spirit of The Year殊榮的Ampersand Distilling Co.限量出品Nocino!

Limited-edition Nocino by Ampersand Distilling Co. claimed the top honour as 2021 Canadian Artisan Spirit of the Year.

每年，CASC都會向所有類別中得分最高的酒品授予「年度手工蒸 餾烈酒」（Canadian Artisan Spirit of The Year）榮譽，今年Liqueur類 別得獎酒品Nocino!成為了全加烈酒年度得分之冠。

The top honour of the competition, Canadian Artisan Spirit of the Year, went to Nocino, which was also judged Best in Class in the Liqueur category.

限量版Nocino!由位於溫哥華島的Ampersand Distilling Co.生產， 是意大利風格的青核桃利口酒。青核桃是在Cowichan山谷中人手挑 選，再和有機小麥一齊釀製，甜味是因為加了本土蜂蜜。這支酒蘊含 了核桃及少許檸檬皮、肉桂、巧克力、咖啡和焦糖的風味組合，非常 複雜卻又異常平衡，具有濃濃的烘烤堅果香和令人愉悅的苦味。聞香 帶有戶外大自然和草本氣息，口感豐富飽滿，可以像苦艾酒或雪利酒 一樣飲用。

Limited-edition Nocino is a spicy sweet Italian walnut liqueur produced by Ampersand Distilling Company on Vancouver Island.

Green walnuts are harvested by hand from the Cowichan Valley to make this spirit. It is distilled with wheat spirit and sweetened with local honey. Cinnamon, lemon peel and allspice give it spicy notes, which are enriched and balanced with hints of chocolate, coffee and caramel.

今年獲獎的溫哥華酒坊眾多，北溫The Woods Spirit Co.因 其Pacific North-West Amaro而獲得Amaro/Vermouth類別榮譽； Granville Island的The Liberty Distillery，憑藉Endeavour Old Tom Gin 贏得Aged Gin桂冠；溫東的Odd Society Spirits，則以其Commodore Single Malt Whisky獲得Single Malt Whisky金獎。

Judges were impressed by its deeply roasted nutty nose, with elements of botanicals that make it lively and fresh. They remarked that it “finishes incredibly smoothly, with a pleasing note of bitterness” and could be “used like vermouth, or drink like sherry.”

Several Vancouver distillers also made it to the honours list. The Woods Spirit Co. from North Vancouver won Best in Class in the Amaro/Vermouth category with its Pacific North-West Amaro. The

Merridale Cidery＆Distillery的Cowichan Spiced Rhumb為何贏得另類朗姆酒類別 金獎？因為傳統上朗姆酒是由甘蔗副產品製成，然而Cowichan Spiced Rhumb 是百份百由卑詩蜂蜜釀製。釀酒師Laurent Lafuente先把蜂蜜焦糖化處理然後發 酵，完成後將發酵液在銅製蒸餾器中緩慢蒸餾，並在橡木桶中陳釀，故酒色呈深 琥珀色。該酒品帶有加勒比香料和香草的香味，飲用時加少許薑啤和菠蘿汁，更 讓人一試難忘。 Cowichan Spiced Rhumb by Merridale Cidery & Distillery was named Best in Class in the Rum-Alternative category.

It imparts a pronounced spicy fruitcake character with notes of juniper, mint, orange blossom and mulberry.

Judges described it as delivering the warming aromas of Christmas roasts.

Persian spices, intertwined with oak, juniper and botanicals, makes for its complexity.

Liberty Distillery from Granville Island took gold in the Aged Gin category with its Old Tom Gin, and Odd Society Spirits from east Vancouver took the top accolade in the Single Malt Whisky category with its Commodore Single Malt Whisky.

Double Barrel Batch 5, made by Shelter Point Distillery from Campbell River, won in the Contemporary Gin class with its Noteworthy Gin-Navy Strength.

These accolades are proof that B.C. distillers are indeed a “spiriting” force to be reckoned with on the Canadian scene.

Michelle擁有超過25年的專業經驗，她在加拿大、澳洲和英 國的項目涵蓋類型廣泛，有手製的小項目，也有大型複雜多戶發 展項目的管理和設計指導。Michelle擅長對項目的所有要素進行 周密考慮和周到整合，包羅建築、景觀園藝設計、室內設計、家 具、藝術品和配件方方面面。

With more than 25 years of experience and projects across Canada, Australia and the UK, Biggar’s work has embraced a wide range of projects ranging from hands-on crafting of small designs, to project management and design leadership on large-scale, complex, multi-user facilities that thoughtfully integrate architecture, landscape design, interior design, furniture, art and accessories.

eG：買家在置業前，從室內設計的角度來看，首先應該考 慮的是什麼？

Recently, eliteGen caught up with Biggar for a question-and-answer session.

MG：在裝修方面，從室內設計的角度來看，要考慮的關鍵 因素之一，就是創造强烈的室內-室外空間連貫性。房屋需要有良 好的骨骼，以清晰的空間感、周到的流通量，以及與自然和光線 的緊密聯繫，來適應主人的所有生活方式。

Q: Before a person buys a home, what things should be considered first, from an interior design perspective?

eG：設計公司會為客戶做些什麽？ MG：設計家園是一個非常個人化的經歷，對許多客戶來 說，選定建築師或室內設計師是一種新的體驗。信任是設計師與 客戶關係的基礎，而良好的溝通是建立信任的基石。設計公司會 傾聽客戶的願望，為客戶提供清晰反映其價值觀，且具獨特連貫 性的設計解決方案，幫助客戶作出決策。

A: If you feel it will require renovations, one of the key things to consider from an interior design perspective is the ability to create strong indoor-outdoor connections. The house needs to have good bones to accommodate all the lifestyle desires of the owners, with spatial clarity, thoughtful circulation flow and strong connections to nature and light.

Q: How can an architect or interior designer help clients?

A: Designing a home is a very personal process. For many clients, appointing an architect or interior designer will be a new experience. Trust is the foundation of any relationship between designer and client, and good communication is the cornerstone of building trust. An architect or interior

工程項目通常分為四個階段：1. 設計前+計劃； 2.原理圖設計； 3.施工文件； 4.家具選擇+採購（如果 需要的話），及施工管理。每個階段的時間長短，取 決於項目的規模和復雜程度。一般來說，設計公司在 與新客戶早期會面時，會盡可能多瞭解客戶目前的生 活方式，他們喜愛現在家園的哪些元素，同時幫助客 戶明白哪些因素是不太重要的。討論客戶的價值觀、 工程項目的計劃，以及對項目的總體期望當然是會面 的主要目的。另外，設計公司還將審查境況限制（現 有的房屋，場地等等） 以及相關的時間表和預算目標。 eG：什麽是好的室內設計？ 你通常從哪裡找到 靈感？ MG：一間優秀的設計公司會以創造連貫相關、 永恆、優雅的空間為目標，這些空間對於住戶來說不 僅極具功能性，而且也在講述業主自己的故事。 OMB在其多戶住宅項目中使用鮮明的線條和天 然、永恆的材料，創建一個可加添層次的背景，使家 園真正體現客戶自身的個性。對至關重要的區域理念 進行開發，充分利用現場獨特之處，並在形式和物料 上有意地作出呼應，是我們在做所有工程項目時的追 求。我們一方面從世界各地的建築、設計和藝術中尋 求創作靈感，另一方面考慮到住宅項目的親密性，也 從客戶的故事中發掘素材，從我們個人的經歷中獲得 啟發。

designer prioritizes listening to clients’ aspirations and help them make decisions by presenting unique and contextual design solutions that clearly reflect their values.

Projects will typically be separated into four phases: 1. Pre-design + planning phase; 2. Schematic design phase; 3. Construction documents phase; 4. Furniture selection + procurement (if required) and construction administration phase. The length of each phase depends on the size and complexity of the project.

Typically, initial meetings with new clients are about learning as much as possible about their current lifestyle: what they love about their current home and, often more importantly, what doesn’t work. Clients’ values, the project program and overall aspirations for the project would be discussed. The architect or interior designer also reviews the constraints (the existing house, site, etc.) and goals regarding the client’s schedule and budget.

Q: What constitutes a good interior design? Where do you normally get your inspiration?

A: The ambition of a good interior designer is to create contextual, timeless and elegant spaces that are functional and meaningful for the people occupying them. Each home tells a story about the client.

For our multi-family residential projects, we take the same approach of using clean lines and natural, timeless materials to create a backdrop for future owners to add layers that make the home authentically theirs.

“All our work strives to explore critical regionalism: projects that meaningfully respond to their place, both in form and materiality, while leveraging the unique aspects of a site. We look globally for creative inspiration across multiple disciplines, such as architecture, design and art while staying contextually grounded.

Given the intimate nature of residential projects, we get inspired by exploring our client’s stories with them, while also drawing from our own personal influences. officemb.ca

not horsin' around the Ford Bronco sport is just the vehicle for outdoor adventures Story & Photography | Norris McDonald

When O.J. Simpson went for his infamous last drive on the freeways of Los Angeles in 1994, he was riding in the back seat of a white Ford Bronco, with former football teammate Al Cowlings behind the wheel.

TV networks cut into regularly scheduled programming to cover the police chase live, while thousands in L.A. stopped their cars and got out to applaud, seemingly indifferent to the fact that the man they were cheering was facing two murder charges.

Two years later, either by design or pure coincidence, Ford stopped building the vehicle. The official reason was that they weren’t selling enough of the two-door SUVs, claiming the buying public wanted four-doors.

Whatever the reason, Ford officially deep-sixed the Bronco in 1996 after building it for 30 years. Internally, however, a small group of Bronco enthusiasts kept the dream alive and here we are today, 25 years later, with a revamped and redesigned Bronco family of vehicles.

The brand features a two-door, a four-door and a smaller SUV called the Bronco Sport—all with 4X4 capabilities that will go over any type of terrain, just the thing for outdoor adventures.

The Sport is easy to enter and exit. Once inside, every control you can think of is on the steering wheel, with creature comforts like seat and steering-wheel heating

加熱按鈕，以及其它空調控制都設在那8吋的觸控螢幕之 下。觸控螢幕內有AM、FM和Sirius衛星電台，以及導航 等等資訊娛樂設施。簡單來說，所有需要用的裝置都在 你手可觸及的範圍之內。還有，它的多媒體系統與Apple Carplay及Android Auto兼容。 有一樣功能很重要而福特做到了，非常值得恭喜，這 就是：當你停車關掉引擎後，整個觸控螢幕會亮起「檢查 後座乘座者」這幾個字，並會響起鐘聲，提醒你的注意， 目的是要防止把嬰兒和小童遺留在後座。這種情況的確時 有發生。 車廂的座位非常吸引，舒適和容易調較。兩個附 有USB接口的杯架觸手可及。雖然座椅下沒有空位，但 Bronco Sport在後座位內掏出空間供收藏品物。另外，只 需把後座椅翻前摺合，就會騰出大量空間，足夠擺放兩輛 越野單車。而車頂的行李架可放置帳篷、滑雪板、獨木舟 及露營用具等。

buttons and other climate controls directly under the eight-inch touchscreen that has AM, FM and Sirius satellite radio, navigation and so-on. In short, everything you have to touch is within easy reach. Oh, and it’s compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto too.

Now this is important. When you stop and turn off the engine, the whole touchscreen lights up with these words, “Check Rear Seats For Occupants”, and a bell rings to draw your attention to the warning. This, of course, is to guard against anybody leaving a baby or small child in the back seat, which has happened far too often. I’m sure other OEMs have done this, but I haven’t come across another example like this one, so congratulations to Ford. The seats are attractive, comfortable and easy to adjust, and there are two good cupholders with USB ports within easy reach. Given there is no room underneath the seats, the Sport has solved that problem by creating storage space within the rear seats.

Those rear seats, in turn, fold down to increase the amount of cargo space and Ford says there’s enough room back there to fit a pair of trail bikes. The roof rack can accommodate tents, skis, kayaks and camping equipment.

One more thing about the back seats: seating space is extremely limited.

My wife and I are both tall, so we both slide our front seats right back, making it virtually impossible for adults to sit back there. Children? Maybe.

不過，這款車也有一個小問題：後座位的空間不足。我和太太都 是高個子，坐上車後便會把前座椅推後，可是後排座椅只可以向前摺 合，不能往後推，因此我們無法坐在後面，相信其他和我們般身材的 人坐上去也會很不舒服。 按上啟動鈕後，汽車會很平穩地在路上行駛，若經過隆起的地 面，你會感覺到，雖然不是劇烈搖晃，不過也很明顯。它有自動啟停 系統，在紅燈及停車標誌前會關掉引擎，節省燃油。此外，它有很好 的無鎖匙系統，剎車器的反應也很靈敏，是一輛在市內行駛相當不錯 的車。 然而，它其實是一輛越野車，非常適合那些有鄉村小屋、狩獵營 和喜歡去露營的人士。你甚至可以在車內後方打開桌子擺放小吃。 Bronco Sport有多達7種駕駛模式供選置，讓你在任何路面行駛。 標準的模式包括日常、節能、跑車、濕滑和沙地等五個模式。你可以 支付額外費用添置爛泥地及攀爬模式。鄉間小道操控技術類似定速控 制，由於是在田野行駛，速度不能如公路般快，你可以設定時速30公 里前行或是10公里倒車。這項功能真的很棒。 福特讓我試駕的是Badlands車型，配備2.0公升EcoBoost先進引 擎，迸發出245匹馬力和275磅/呎扭力。另外三個型號，包括Base、 Big Bend和Outer Banks，均搭載1.5公升EcoBoost引擎，產生181匹 馬力和190磅/呎扭力。兩款引擎皆配搭8前速自動波箱，而Badlands 車型的方向盤配備換檔撥片。 入夜後，如你仍想燒烤或下棋等，可以打開車尾箱門，左右兩邊 各鑲了一盞可以調較角度的LED射燈，為你照明。 此外，福特Co-Pilot360駕駛輔助技術是所有型號的標準裝置，幫 助駕駛者在高速公路上保持直線，同時避免在曠野撞到樹木。

Up to seven G.O.A.T. modes are available that will help the driver take the Sport just about anywhere. Standard modes include Normal, Eco, Sport, Slippery and Sand, and you can pay extra for modes like Mud/Ruts and Rock Crawl.

Trail Control technology is like cruise control, but for off-road driving.

It manages throttle and braking, allowing drivers to focus on steering in challenging conditions. It can be set at 30 km/h going forward and 10 km/h in reverse. This is really great stuff.

Once in motion, the ride is smooth on fresh pavement. However, if you hit a bump, you’ll feel it. It’s not jarring, but it’s noticeable. There’s automatic stop-start at red lights and stop signs, which saves fuel. The compact SUV has good pep and the brakes are sharp. It’s a good car for around town.

But this is an off-road vehicle, its “raison d’être.” It’s perfect for people with cottages, hunt camps and those who like to go camping. There’s even a table that can be set up inside the back of the Bronco, where you can set up the barbeque condiments.

I’ve saved the best for last. Ford gave me a Badlands model for this test and it’s powered by a 2.0-litre EcoBoost engine that puts out 245 horsepower and 275 lb.-ft. of torque. The other three models—Base, Big Bend and Outer Banks—have the tried-but-true 1.5-litre EcoBoost engine that produces 181 horsepower and 190 lb-ft. of torque. Both engines are mated to an eightspeed automatic transmission. The Badlands model has steering-wheelmounted paddle shifters.

There are a couple of other things worth mentioning. If it’s after dark and you want to throw a little light on whatever you’re up to, be it a late barbecue or a summertime game of chess, there are two LED spotlights—one on each corner of the rear lift—that can be adjusted to help you see what you’re doing.

As well, Ford Co-Pilot360 driver assist technologies are standard on all models, which help keep you on the straight and narrow on the highway and from running into a tree in the wilderness.
