「珍惜昨天 ，憧憬未來 ，享受當下」 “Cherish yesterday, dream tomorrow, live today” 這個月我們迎來了eliteGen創刊6周年，真是令人興 奮。生日常常會勾起人們對過往的回憶，而今時不同往 年，相信每個人都會有些特別不同的感受。讓我們用美 國作家李查•巴哈的寓言性小說《天地一沙鷗》中的一句 話來概括：「珍惜昨天，憧憬未來，享受當下」。 新冠肺炎病毒全球肆虐，我們社會的每個群體都因 此受到重創，讓我們認識到人類是那麽的脆弱，那些被 我們看作恆常的東西是那麽的瞬息萬變。但感恩和信念 絕不會就此溟滅。對昨天的回憶與對未來的嚮往，就是 帶動我們走向美好明天的動力。 好了，嚴肅的思辨到此為止，讓我們開始生日派對 的狂歡。這次有很多明星來為我們添熱鬧—迪麗熱巴與 我們分享生日的感悟，章子怡戴著蕭邦珠寶靚麗登場， 趙薇芬迪伴身笑語盈盈，好萊塢新星唐嘉壕透露他爭演 熱門美劇角色的幕後秘事。另外，我還要和大家分享一 件喜事，eliteGen上期封面的美新娘倪晨曦馬上就要升 級當媽媽了！ 我們的生日派對更重要的是要有你們—和我們一起 追逐時尚的朋友們來參加。我邀請你們一起去到時尚之 都巴黎，走進製造香奈兒傳奇的神秘夢工場；一起去瞭 解江詩丹頓手錶的製造工藝；一起用愛馬仕絢爛絲巾把 自己裝扮起來。喜歡美食的朋友更要接受我的邀請，走 遍台灣的米芝蓮餐廳和小吃夜市；或者就算不出遠門， 也隨我到本地的熱鬧商場去邊買邊吃邊逛。
We are very proud to bring you our sixth anniversary issue. While birthdays always induce a bit of nostalgia, this year the sentiment is especially strong. And those feelings can be summed up quite nicely by Richard Bach, author of Jonathan Livingston Seagull: “Cherish yesterday, dream tomorrow, live today.” The dreaded coronavirus has struck so many communities, and our hearts go out to all who are affected. It showed us how vulnerable we can be, and how everything we knew about our world can change on a dime. Yet, amidst this pandemic, many have newfound gratitude for what we have, and we never lost faith that things will be better tomorrow. The most important thing is to embrace the present, and let our memories and dreams provide comfort as we move gingerly towards a new normal. But enough about reminiscing, let’s get the birthday party started with a star-studded roster. Our two-time cover girl Dilraba Dilmurat shares her birthday thoughts (we are not the only sentimental ones), Zhang Ziyi shows off her happy spirit with Chopard, Vicki Zhao looking very alluring in Fendi, and Chase Tang spills the beans about the rumoured rivalry between him and Simu Liu. Oh, and please allow me to give a shoutout to Elva Ni, our last cover girl. She is going to be a first-time mother later this year. Congrats to her. For luxury lovers, we take you to Paris to visit the skilled artists behind Chanel's runway looks, decipher the design symbolism of the latest Vacheron Constantin, and show you clever ways to wear Hermès silk scarves. Our foodie friends will delight in a gastro-tour of Taiwan as well as our low down on gourmet groceries closer to home. And finally, let’s pop the cork—some vintage champagne is in order as we celebrate another year. If we can only have one wish, we wish everyone good health. God bless. Sincerely,
最後，生日派對的開香檳時刻到了—讓香檳泡泡飛 起來，我們一起舉杯，慶祝我們過往一起分享的每一 天，更一起祝願我們未來有健康快樂的每一天！ Leslie Yip Associate Publisher

時裝秀背後的魔術師
Behind the seamstress Story | Leslie Yip
Chanel秋冬Ready-to-Wear時裝秀於巴黎大劇 院圓滿結束後，翌日，我很榮幸有機會拜訪幾 位工藝師，他們憑藉精湛的手藝，成就天橋上 一個又一個的完美造型。 It is the day after Chanel’s 2020 Fall/ Winter Ready-to-Wear show at Le Grand Palais in Paris, and I am very privileged to visit with the artists who’ve spent hours crafting the looks.

Lesage的檔案室收藏了75,000年刺繡樣本，全世界時裝刺繡藏量最豐富，提供了無窮無盡的靈感及啟發。 The archives at Maison Lesage hold 75,000 samples. It is the largest collection of couture embroidery in the world, providing an inexhaustible source of inspiration.
平凡的大廈，不起眼的入口，但灰色鋼門後面，卻匯聚了巴黎最頂尖的工藝師。 連慈禧太后都為之動心的精緻刺繡？精巧的羽毛工藝可媲美挪威女神Freya的羽 毛大衣？能獲埃及艷后賞識的珠寶鑄造廠？要尋找巧奪天工之精品，絕對只此一家。 這就是Paraffection，Chanel旗下的子公司，它由十多個獨立的精品工藝坊組 成。每一個都有獨特手藝，包括刺繡、帽藝、針織、羽飾、鞋履、鈕扣、人造花飾、 金匠、手套、褶飾等等。他們利用精巧的工藝把時裝推至另一層次，成就了高級訂造 服的出現。 這些工藝坊很多早於19世紀已經成立，部份於1950年代開始跟Chanel創辦人 Coco Chanel合作。可是，這些精湛的手藝一度面臨失傳的危機，有估計過半數的法 國傳統工藝師找不到接班人，而他們的工藝可能在少於一個世代後便會失傳。為保護 這些傳統工藝並讓手藝得以傳承下去，品牌收購了這些工藝坊。而除了Chanel之外， 他們更可以自由地跟其它品牌合作，為的是確保藝術的革新、創意及獨立性。
The entrance is inconspicuous. The building, non-descript. But behind these steel grey doors toil some of Paris’s most skilled craftspeople. Intricate embroidery that would impress the Empress Dowager Cixi? Check. Decadent featherwork fit for Freya’s coat? You bet. A jewellery foundry that would have been on Cleopatra’s speed dial? You have come to the right place. The place is called Paraffection, a subsidiary of Chanel, comprised of a dozen independent ateliers. Each has a specialty: embroidery, millinery, knitwear, feathers, shoemaking, buttons, artificial flowers, gold-smithing, glove-making, pleat-making and more. Together, they put the haute in couture, elevating fashion with their handcraftsmanship. Many of these ateliers were established as early as the 19th century, and some worked directly with Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel since the 1950s. Unfortunately, their hallowed heritage is threatened. Some estimate that more than half of France’s traditional craftsmen have no successors, and their art could be lost in as little as one generation. In order to sustain and protect these ateliers, the fashion house has taken them under its wings. Moreover, in the spirit of fostering innovation, creativity and independence, they are free to work for rival brands as well.

在Lesage，設計靈感或來自品牌的藝術總監，又或者透過旅遊及世界各地的博物館而來。這個圖案的靈感來自奧地利皇后兼匈牙利王后的Sissi。 At Lesage, design inspiration can come from the art directors at fashion houses, or from travels and museums around the world. This pattern is inspired by Sissi, Empress of Austria and Queen of Hungary.
這個安排實在完美不過，但也導致了每年巴黎時裝周 舉行之前，這裡就如戰場一樣。因為很多手工坊都同時跟多 個品牌合作，而死線全部都迫在同一星期內。聽過不少傳聞 說，模特兒在踏上天橋前一刻，鈕扣及飾品才被縫上。幸 好，參觀當日是時裝周的最後一天，氣氛輕鬆很多。不過大 家都知道這只是暴風雨前夕的寧靜，當訂單一到，又會再次 進入緊張狀態。 當時裝周結束後，Chanel各專門店都只有一星期時間落 單，而決定權就落在每間專門店的買手當中，因為他們最清 楚自己店裡顧客的喜好。這就解釋了為什麼在rue de Cambon 有2間Chanel專門店，一間位於19號而另一間位於31號，由於 店內產品風格各異，提供截然不同的購物體驗。（順帶一提， 31號是全世界唯一一間使用白色禮盒及購物袋的專門店。） 接到訂單後，工匠們要立即投入工作。秋冬時裝周於3 月初舉行，而各專門店會於9月收到秋冬季新品。你可能會覺 得6個月時間尚算充裕，但試著想象：今個系列中look 47造 型的頸飾及臂環便用上了100米長的繩絨線及超過16,000小 玻璃管，並利用古老法國的 Lunéville編織技巧製成。Maison Lesage刺繡坊（專門於刺繡及呢絨編織）的工藝師要花上180 小時才能完成，以每周工作40小時計算，即差不多一個月 才完工。別忘記，他們都是小型手工坊而非大型工廠。而 Lesage只有75位刺繡工藝師，Chanel的專門店在全球卻有多 達205間。

This may sound like a beautiful arrangement, but it also means things can get quite intense leading up to Paris Fashion Week—multiple houses may commission work from the same group of artists, and the deadlines are all within the same week. Tales abound when buttons and trimmings are still being sewn on as the model steps onto the catwalk. Luckily for me, today is the last day of fashion week and the atmosphere is decidedly more leisurely. However, they know this is the calm before the next storm —when the orders come in. For Chanel, boutiques have only one week after the show to place their orders. The buying decision is left up to the buyer for each boutique, who should know what would appeal to its particular clientele. This explains why there are two Chanel boutiques on rue de Cambon—one at No. 19 and another at No. 31. The merchandise is curated differently, offering two different shopping experiences. (On a sidenote: No. 31 is the only place in the world where your shopping comes in white boxes and bags.) Once the order is received, the artists get to work immediately. The fall/ winter show is in early March, and items are in stores by September. You may think six months seems plenty, but consider this: the yoke and armband for “look 47” in this collection is composed of 100 metres of chenille and more than 16,000 cuvettes attached, using the ancestral French technique of Lunéville crochet. It takes the skilled artisans at Maison Lesage, which specializes in embroidery and creating elaborate tweed weaves, 180 hours to complete their work. That’s more or less a whole month based on a 40-hour work week. And don’t forget, these are small workshops, not big factories. To put things into scale, there are only 75 embroiderers at Lesage, and there are 205 Chanel boutiques around the world.
軟呢絨原本應於男裝上，Lesage刺繡坊把這粗布配 搭不同的物料，為Chanel帶來驚喜的設計。無論配搭 皮革、塑膠、絲帶及拉鍊，每一塊布料都以人手編織 及完成。單是準備好織布機已花上一整天時間，編織 一塊8x8吋的布料可能需要超過15分鐘才可完成。 Borrowed from menswear, the original woolen fabric takes flight in every imaginable material at the house of Lesage for Chanel. Whether in leather, plastic, ribbon or zipper, each piece of fabric is woven and finished by hand. It takes a full day just to set up the loom, and an eight-by-eightinch piece could take more than 15 minutes to produce.
Chanel軟呢絨背後的故事 Coco Chanel跟軟呢絨的愛情故事始於1920年代。 為了令業務更多元化，François Lesage於1996年成立了 刺繡坊。2年後，他向Chanel提議把軟呢絨面料用於其 Ready-to-Wear系列，而自2008年起，Lesage刺繡坊一 直為品牌的高級訂製服系列設計新穎的軟呢絨面料。一針 一線都反映背後的精湛工藝。
BEHIND CHANEL’S ICONIC TWEED The love story between Coco Chanel and tweed began in the 1920s. In 1996, led by a desire to diversify the activities of the House, François Lesage established a textile atelier. Two years later, he started proposing tweeds to Chanel for its ready-to-wear collections. Since 2008, the house of Lesage has been inventing new tweeds for the Haute Couture. These sophisticated assemblies of the most diverse threads reflect an extraordinary savoir-faire.
在2020/21秋冬時裝秀，Lesage刺繡坊把軟呢絨搭配金屬線絲 絨及透明硬紗絲帶，低調地突顯不同材質的對比。這件軟呢絨短 外套使用了黑色繩絨線，其光滑柔順的質感跟閃亮的線飾形成對 比。 For the Fall/Winter 2020/21 Ready-to-Wear runway show, the tweeds woven by Maison Lesage combine velvet with metallic threads and organza ribbons in a subtle play of contrasts between materials and textures. This tweed jacket is composed of black chenille, whose velvety texture is in contrast to shiny fringes. (Photo credit: Benoit Peverelli)

除了花飾外，羽毛是Lemarié的另一專長。這 件外套(look 60)的袖子以人造毛搭配鴕鳥毛絨 球及絲雪紡製成，製作時間長達199小時。在 參觀工作坊之前，我以為這些複雜的工序只 會見於高訂服，不知道原來亦會用於成衣單 品上。 In addition to crafting flowers, Lemarié also does featherwork. The sleeves on this outfit (look 60) are made of faux fur with ostrich feather pompoms and silk chiffon, and take nearly 200 hours to make. Before visiting the ateliers, I did not realize that the laborious craftmanship associated with haute couture is also used on ready-towear items. (Photo credit: Benoit Peverelli)

當Lemarié羽毛花飾坊於1880年由Palmyre Coyette創立時，全巴黎有300名羽毛工藝師。但 時至今日已寥寥無幾，他們便是世界上少數的羽 毛工藝師之一。 When the House of Lemarié was established in 1880 by Palmyre Coyette, it was one of 300 plumassiers in Paris at the time. Now, they are one of the last feather workers in the world.
Lesage隔鄰的是Maison Lemarié羽毛花飾坊。於1880年 成立，是世界上少數仍然運作的羽毛及花飾手工坊，工藝師們 亦精於為時裝縫製褶襇。忠實擁躉對於Chanel標誌性的山茶 花絕對不會陌生。你或許沒有想過它是怎樣製造出來，但當親 身見過工藝師先塑型，然後利用工具把葉子一片一片卷曲，然 後逐層堆疊成花，你會對這朵白色小花多了幾分敬意。 刺繡坊亦會縫製褶襇、鑲嵌及製作複雜的波紋飾邊。在 最新系列中，焦點是一件淡褐色的軟呢絨外套，寬闊的兩袖飾 以羽毛，襯衫的領位用上府綢，搭配羽毛及雪紡絲緞。如果你 認為刺繡難度高，羽毛工藝更需要耐性及精巧的手藝。
以製作Chanel的山茶花而聞 名，每年大概生產25,000朵。 這朵在2020/21秋冬Ready-toWear時裝秀出現的灰色軟呢 絨山茶花，工藝師花了3小時 製作，而製作經典的16瓣山 茶花一般需時1.5小時。 Maison Lemarié is famous for creating every single Chanel camellia flower, averaging 25,000 a year. The bejewelled grey tweed camellia adorning this look at the Fall-Winter 2020/21 Ready-to-Wear show takes three hours for the artisans to make, while the classic camellia with 16 petals typically takes half the time.
Next door Maison Lesage is Maison Lemarié. Founded in 1880, it is one of the last plumassiers (feather-workers) and florists in the world, and they are also experts in couture pleating and smocking. Chanel fans will surely recognize the camellia, one of their most representative products. One may not think much about how they come to be, but after watching an artist stamp out the form, curl each petal with a balling tool and assemble it layer upon layer, there is a newfound respect for that little white flower. The house also creates smocks, pleats, inlays and sophisticated ruffles. For the latest collection, the highlight is a jacket in ecru tweed with majestic sleeves trimmed with feathers, a neckline of a blouse in poplin, combining feathers with thin strips of chiffon and silk charmeuse. If you think embroidery is difficult, wait till you visit the feather workshop. It is a test of patience with the need for a delicate touch.

有人會認為服飾珠寶的手工比不上高 級珠寶，Goosens對此並不贊同。事實 上，很多工匠均來自Chanel高級珠寶工 坊，他們把製作高級珠寶的精湛手藝來 製作服飾珠寶。就好像這件2020/21秋冬 Ready-to-Wear系列的24卡鍍金項鍊， 飾有十字架、色彩繽紛的水晶及珍珠。 While some people might think that costume baubles are not as finely crafted as high-end jewellery, the artisans at Goosens will beg to differ. In fact, many of them came from Chanel’s high jewellery workshop, where they honed their classical jewellery-making skills, and are now applying their savoir-faire to make more expressive pieces, like this necklace with a 24-carat gold-plated cross with coloured crystals and pearl cabochons for the Fall-Winter 2020/21 Ready-to-Wear collection.

19M大樓，標誌著Chanel將繼續保存及發展高級手工藝。這個由1985年起展開的項目，已經收購了超過30個高級 手工坊，約5,000名員工，為Chanel及其它時裝品牌創作極致的精品。 With Le 19M, Chanel continues to preserve and develop the savoir-faire of the Métiers d’art that began in 1985, with the acquisition of more than 30 Maisons d’art and manufactories that represent about 5,000 employees, serving creation at Chanel and other major names in fashion.
Chanel系列除了時裝外，配飾同樣重要。為了一睹今季服 飾珠寶配件的製作過程，我特地訪問了工作坊位於大樓南面的 Patrick Goosens。他的先父Robert Goosens跟Coco Chanel交 情匪淺，並擅長將銅、晶石、木材及玻璃鑄造成精緻的珠寶、 飾品及配件。
Chanel’s collections are as much about clothes as accessories. To see how the season’s costume jewellery line is produced, I pay a visit to Patrick Goosens at the southern end of the complex. He is the son of the late Robert Goosens—who had a close relationship with Coco Chanel—having used his expertise in transforming bronze, rock crystal, wood and glass paste into exceptional jewels, adornments and decorative objects.
他的設計理念跟Coco Chanel在很多方面都非常合拍。例 如，他勇於把高檔與平價配件混搭：Chanel認為服飾珠寶配件 可以成為造型的主角，更可隨意搭配家中的古董配件，這概念 改變了女士對配飾的看法。他更無懼將矜貴的寶石如綠寶石鑲 嵌於鍍金配飾上。此外，Coco Chanel希望珠寶配件可以跟服飾 起到相輔相成的作用，而Goosens能把古董珠寶、拜占庭風格 與古埃及風格珠寶重新詮釋並鑄造成一件件永不過時的精品。
His design philosophy “clicked” with that of Coco Chanel in many ways. For example, there is no fear of mixing “high and low”. Chanel revolutionized how ladies accessorize their outfits by making costume jewellery a fashion statement that can be mixed with heirloom pieces, and Goosens was not afraid to set precious gems like emeralds in silver or goldplated pieces.
Patrick Goosens為我介紹如何以人手模製各件天橋上的服 飾珠寶配件，之後他帶我來到一間更大的工作坊，三名金匠正 在將一件大型的黃銅花環裝到鏡子上。除了珠寶外，他亦有出 產家居擺設，而剛才提到的鏡子將會放於Chanel位於巴黎的全 新高級珠寶店。鏡子飾以天然晶石花飾及鍍金麥穗，就好像一 件為牆壁而設計的巨型飾品。 Lesage、LeMarié及Gossens只是眾多工藝坊的其中三 家，他們都是法國最奢華極致時裝系列背後的魔法師。其它工 藝坊還有Lesage Intérieurs及其刺繡藝術學院École de broderie d’art 、 Montex 鉤針刺繡坊及其MTX裝飾部門、Massaro鞋履 坊、Maison Michel製帽坊、Lognon褶飾坊、布藝坊Paloma及 生產內衣及泳衣的Eres。 為了讓各手工坊聚集一堂，互相激發創意，創製極致精 品，Chanel正在興建一座名為19M的全新大樓，坐落於Porte d’Aubervilliers的大樓佔地25,000平方米，竣工後將會成為品牌 旗下12家手工坊，600名工藝師的辦公室。 大樓名字中的「m」字有多重意思：法文字mains是手的意 思，亦代表時裝（mode）、工藝（métier）、時裝屋（maisons） 及工廠（manufactures）。19則代表大樓位於的郡，同時亦是 Chanel其中一個極具代表性的數字：Coco Chanel的生日是8月 19日。結構工程於去年10月已經完成，預計各工藝師可於明年 7月進駐，新大樓不單距離Chanel的設計工作室更近，亦更接近 其它品牌的工作室，方便交流。
Moreover, Coco Chanel wanted the costume jewellery to complement fashion, and Goosens relished the opportunity to reinterpret jewellery inspired by Antiquity, Byzance and ancient Egypt into timeless, modern pieces. After showing me how each costume jewellery piece for the runway collection is molded by hand, Goosens leads me to a larger workshop, where three goldsmiths are setting a giant brass wreath on top of a convex mirror. In addition to jewellery, he also produces decorative furniture pieces, and this particular work is destined for the new Chanel high jewellery store in Paris. With natural rock crystal flowers and gold-plated sheaths of wheat, it will be like a huge piece of jewellery for the wall. Lesage, LeMarié and Gossens are just three of the many métiers houses behind France’s most prestigious runway collections. There is also Lesage Intérieurs and its École de broderie d’art, the Montex atelier and MTX, its decoration department, the shoemaker Massaro, the hatter and milliner Maison Michel, the pleater Lognon, the grand flou atelier Paloma and the lingerie and swimwear maker Eres. In order to provide a hub for creativity and an ideal setting for the creation of their masterpieces, Chanel is building Le 19M, a 25,000 squaremetre complex at the Porte d’Aubervilliers to house some 600 artisans from the 12 ateliers. The “M” in the name stands for many things: the French word mains for hands, mode for fashion, métier for craftsmanship, maisons for houses and manufactures for factories. The numeral 19 stands for the Parisian arrondissement where Chanel is situated, and it is, of course, one of Chanel’s emblematic numbers. It celebrates the birthdate of Coco Chanel, which was Aug. 19. Structural work was completed last October, and the artisans are expected to move in next July, where they can be close to the creation studio at Chanel, as well as the other fashion houses that rely on their skills.

Leonora Carrington說過︰「煉金術是一種魔法，因此藝術中畫像 或身體的轉變對夢境/精神物質會起作用。」 Dior女士服裝系列的創意總監Maria Grazia Chiuri談論品牌20/21 秋冬季高級時裝系列時也說︰「超現實主義的畫像使本身不可見的東西 呈現於我們眼前。我對神秘學和魔法很感興趣，它們也是消除未來不確 定性的一種途徑。」 在當前這個史無前例的居家抗疫時期，Maria Grazia Chiuri選擇專 注於Lee Miller、Dora Maar和Jacqueline Lamba等藝術家的作品。彼 等超越了最初被貶低的「繆思女神」角色，在生活和超現實主義作品中展 現不同的魅力。 全新系列散發著這種氣息：與自然融為一體，和諧共處。部份作 品展示了壯觀的紅色漸變，仿如在微光中搖曳的珊瑚礁。在這些作品 中，Leonora Carrington和Dorothea Tanning的繪畫透過發光的色彩和 夢幻世界變得栩栩如生。
“Surrealist images manage to make visible what is in itself invisible,” says Maria Grazia Chiuri of Dior’s fall winter collection. “I’m interested in mystery and magic, which are also a way of exorcising uncertainty about the future.” During this unprecedented period, Chiuri, the Creative Director of Dior women’s collections, chose to focus on the work of artists like Lee Miller, Dora Maar and Jacqueline Lamba, who transcended the role of “muses” to which their beauty had initially relegated them in order to champion—in their lives and surrealist works—a different kind of femininity. The new collection is imbued with that attitude: one that is connected, attuned to nature and transformation. Certain pieces display spectacular gradations of red, like a coral reef swaying in the glimmer of the ocean. The colors of paintings by Leonora Carrington and Dorothea Tanning live on in these creations through luminous hues and dreamworlds.

超現實主義的人體線條也 讓人聯想到迷你人體模型，在高 級時裝世界中心有著詩意象徵。 在化作魔法行李箱的30 Avenue Montaigne，亦即是Dior當年的大 本營，這季的高級時裝系列開始 全 球巡 迴 演出 ，呼 應了 D io r先 生 於1945年二次大戰結束時參與的 Théâtre de la Mode傳奇之旅，那 時候他製作眾多迷你高級訂製服， 希望將法國時裝推廣至歐美各地， 同時亦激發大眾在捱過艱難歲月 後對時尚和美的嚮往，一襲襲華 衣美服成為交織情感與夢想的故 事，也是詩歌和生活樂趣的永恆象 徵。Maria Grazia Chiuri以創意能 量之名延續創新精神，精選37款高 級時裝製作成微型模型，展現Dior Atelier的精湛工藝。
The surrealists’ female body also conjures up a reinterpretation of the miniature mannequin, a poetic emblem at the heart of the couture universe. The artist Cindy Sherman appropriates this almost magical object into one of her first video projects, which oscillates between the history of fashion and the possibility of a new representation; today, these miniatures make it possible to invent a different ritual. And so, in a magical trunk, one that embodies 30 Avenue Montaigne, the haute couture collection embarks on its world tour. Evoking Monsieur Dior’s own odyssey, it echoes the Théâtre de la Mode, a roving exhibition of styles by French couturiers that travelled between Europe and the U.S. right after the war.

從 高 級 時 裝 的「 日 常 造 型 」開 始，採用了具有非凡結構風格的男 士布料西裝，演繹了製作精巧迷你 創作的精湛技藝。大衣呈現皺褶層 次，垂墜細節令人想到古老雕像； 發光物料昇華了灰色和金黃色的色 調，散發耀眼光彩。這些迷你模型 身上的褶皺全手工製造，秉承創意 姿態的美感。以透過迷你時裝玩偶 的獨特角度，重新演譯女性身材， 譜出高級時裝設計的非凡故事，最 是適合不過。
The Dior ateliers also played a major role in that adventure. Starting with haute couture “day looks,” with suits in men’s fabrics of exceptional architecture representing a virtuoso feat, that of a perfectly-crafted, miniature creation. A coat reveals pleated layers; draping evokes antique statues; luminescence sublimates the gray and golden yellow tones, offering a dazzling brilliance. Produced entirely by hand, the folds dressing these miniatures celebrate the beauty of the creative gesture, which is the essence of couture. For the grand finale, and in keeping with tradition, the wedding gown, a symbol forgotten over time. In this way, it feels only natural to recount the story of extraordinary haute couture silhouettes by reinterpreting the female body through the singular prism of the fashion doll.

一個H字母，加上標誌性的 橙色包裝，便足以叫無數女士雙 眼瞬間發亮的Hermès（愛馬仕）， 吸引大家的招牌作品，除了手 袋，絲巾也深受歡迎。 品牌於1837年開始為顧客 製造第一件馬具，1928年開始 生產馬鞍，也開始把眼光轉向服 飾，1929年 Hermès 推出第一件 皮革成衣，隨之也有浴袍等服飾 面世。到1935年， Hermès 發佈 了一款「馬鞍」包，這就是日後大 名鼎鼎的凱莉包，此後不久， Hermès絲巾再次颳起時尚旋風。
Instantly recognized as a status symbol, the Hermès H and it’s distinctive orange have always turned heads. But today even its scarf collection is as sought-after as its legendary “it” bags. Having started out by making horse harnesses and bridles in 1837, the company later expanded in 1928 to include saddles. In 1929, Hermès turned to apparel, including bathing suits; it introduced the “sac” in 1935, which became known as the legendary Kelly bag. Shortly thereafter, they embarked on making scarves as fashionable accessories.

上世紀20年代末，時裝界興起利用絲巾作為彰顯時尚 女性品味的象徵配飾，Hermès於1928年開始出售絲巾。後 來高品質絲巾供不應求，管理層決定聘請專業人才，並成立 由品牌家族成員Robert Dumas親自領導的專屬設計部門， 負責創作自家絲巾，並於1937年創製出第一款 Hermès 絲 巾。為確保絲巾製造過程及產品的質素，品牌亦於里昂自設 工作坊，實行以一條龍方式生產自家製品。
Hermès每年推出兩大系列，設計主要依據當年的年題 為大方向，而設計師再個別發揮其創意。2020年的愛馬仕 年題是Innovation in the Making，顧名思義，就是指製作中 的創新。 As its scarves flew off the shelves, family member Robert Dumas got the bright idea to set up a design department specifically for the creation of scarves. And the first creation was unveiled in 1937. Later, an atelier opened in Lyon, France to control the entire process of scarf production from start to finish. Honoring this tradition, every year, Hermès produces two scarf collections. For 2020, the theme is Innovation in the Making.
同款不同色的兩件The Savana Dance 140×140cm方形絲巾，只需略花心思，即可化身成實 用的手提袋。 The 140x140cm Savana Dance in two colours can be deftly turned into handy tote bags. ELITEGEN

大家知道嗎？原來Marc Jacobs在手腕紋了英文perfect（完美） 一字。 「我已經非常完美」這是設計大師的真言。「這個紋身提醒我， 每當我希望自己可以再強大一點，或者在某個範疇做得更好一些的 時候，我可以跟自己說不，因為我已經做到我想做的。已經非常完 美。」Jacobs解釋到。 他的最新香水亦取名為Perfect。品牌邀得超模Kate Moss的女 兒Lila Moss擔任代言人，廣告詮釋了香水的背後意念，就是擁抱及 表達真我。香水瓶身綴以多個掛飾，意味著一個人可以流露多種不 同的情感。 當中有一顆閃耀的銀色星星，它是品牌最暢銷的飾物單品。還 有Marc最愛的粉藍蝴蝶結。另有粉紅色的男裝鞋、紫色高跟鞋、 黑白色排九、水晶玩具磚、一隻去了皮的香蕉、車厘子及一隻躲在 背後的可愛小白猫。掛飾的配搭雖然沒有主題，但全部都是Marc Jacobs親自挑選的。 瓶塞的設計如夢似幻，瓶身突顯階級優越感，鍍金的領子、優 雅的兩肩、琢磨過的角位及厚重的玻璃瓶底。粉紅調的香水既經典 又出奇不意。品牌把香氣形容為「慰藉人心的花香」。前調是大黃及 水仙花香，接著杏仁奶香氣撫慰心靈。最後由雪松及喀什米爾香調 作後調。 香水以Perfect為名實在很難再挑剔，不過相信很多人都會認 同，位於荊塞的小猫應該置於中前位置而非藏於背後。
Did you know that Marc Jacobs has the word “perfect” tattooed on his wrist? “I am perfect as I am.” This is the designer’s mantra. “I put it there,” he says, “to remind me that when I am looking at myself and wishing that I could be stronger in this way, or better at that thing, I can just say, ‘No’. I am exactly how I need to be right now. So, perfect.” Perfect is also the name of the designer’s latest fragrance. The campaign features Lila Moss, daughter of supermodel Kate Moss, and it suggests that the scent is about embracing and expressing one’s true self. Judging from the eclectic collection of charms that crown the bottle, there can be many different expressions of one’s own self. There is a shiny silver star, said to be the brand’s best-selling jewellery item. There is a big bow in baby blue—Jacobs’ favourite fashion accessory. There is also a pink men’s shoe, a purple ladies’ heel, a black-and-white domino tile, some clear crystal toy blocks, a peeled banana, some suggestive cherries and a cute white kitten, hiding at the back. There seems to be no underlying theme behind the irreverent mix, except that each charm has been selected by the designer himself. And while the stopper is all about whimsy, the bottle itself exudes classicism, with a gilded collar, graceful domed shoulders, faceted corners and a weighted glass base. Inside, the pink juice is also a play between the classic and the unexpected. “Comforting florals” is how the brand describes it. It opens with juicy rhubarb and bright daffodils, and then unfurls to reveal a comforting heart of almond milk. At the base, cedar and cashmeran dries down for a cocooning finish. It is hard to find fault with a perfume that calls itself Perfect, but many may agree with me that the little kitten on the stopper should be front and centre, instead of hiding in the back.

在 《三生三世枕上書》 中迪麗熱巴扮演的鳳九。 Dilmurat played Feng Jiu in Eternal Love: The Pillow Book.
熱巴的天生麗質和戲外自稱「普通女孩」的心態，獲得了不少的 觀眾緣和網友緣。她在評說自己的情緒波動時說：「我是一個正常 人，都會有心情好、心情不好、脾氣好、有時會生氣的時候，畢竟 是一個正常人嘛，還沒有修仙。我生氣的時候，很多時候選擇不說 話，有時候生氣說出來的話會更多傷害到別人，也會傷害到自己。 如果我對一件事有自己的看法或者是生氣的時候，我會先選擇不說 話為主，就害怕自己會說出一些不經過思考、只是任由情緒信號發 出的話。」
A natural beauty, her self-effacing image of being, in her words, just an “ordinary girl” makes her even more adorable to her slew of followers. “i’m a normal person,” she says. “i have good moods and bad moods just like everyone else. Mostly, i am even-tempered, but i can get angry, too. After all, i’m not a saint. Sometimes the things we say when we are angry are hurtful to others and to ourselves. When i have a strong point of view about something, or when i’m upset, i tend to be quiet, for fear of saying something not well thought through.”
陷入熱巴的美麗
Despite her superstar status, it is perhaps this kind of honesty that made her Feng Jiu character such an icon. in 2019, she was invited to host such popular variety shows as Go Fighting, Produce Camp and The Better Life.
也許正是這種在明星光環下依然坦率表露自我的特質，讓青春 靚麗的「鳳九」人氣一路高漲，單是在2019年，從《極限挑戰》到《創 造營》再到《漫遊全世界》，熱門綜藝的邀約和錄制一個接著一個。 時尚界和商圈自然也不會對這位耀眼的明星視而不見。中國國 內某電商平台曾發表2018年度數據報告，迪麗熱巴憑借超強的商業 影響力，在帶貨能力明星榜上高居第二，她曾代言的品牌涉及頂奢 珠寶、知名美妝、潮流服飾、食品日化、高科遊戲等多個領域。 且不說，她登上過中國版《Vogue》、《時尚芭莎Bazaar》、 《Ellemen》、《時尚Cosmo》的封面，為禦木本珠寶Mikimoto、 Dolce&Gabbana、YSL聖羅蘭美妝香水、雅詩蘭黛、Bulgari珠寶等 品牌作中國形象代言，處處散發出她強大的氣場和迷人的女人味， 就是包括Balenciaga羽絨服、棒球帽，Chanel、Chloe的手袋， Gucci球鞋、羊毛衫，Givenchy Acetate運動褲等在內的時尚單 品，只要穿、戴在她的身上，便引來無數追捧者，說她是時尚界和 商圈的寵兒一點也不為過。
隨時間自然成長 如同「鳳九」從小女配到大女主的蛻變，成長給迪麗熱巴帶來的 不僅僅是塑造出豐滿而有穿透力的銀幕形象，更多的是讓她有和大 女主鳳九一樣強大的內心，對自身有著清醒而成熟的認識。
HER oWN BRAND
Fashion brands, too, have been also attracted to her star status. in 2018, a mainland China e-commerce platform put Dilmurat in second place as a commercial influencer. She has been asked to be the face of so many brands, from luxury jewellers and beauty products to fashion, food and even high-tech games. She has graced the covers of the Chinese editions of Vogue, Bazaar, Ellemen and Cosmo, and is the style maven for Mikimoto, Dolce&Gabbana, ySL beauty products and perfume, Estée Lauder and Bulgari jewellery. Her star power and feminine allure is now such a magnet that all she has to do is wear something to make it an instant trend. She is the ultimate influencer; if she’s seen in public wearing a Balenciaga down jacket and baseball cap or sporting a Chanel or Chloe handbag, or Gucci sneakers and a Givenchy sport pant, everyone will want it. She’s the darling of luxury fashion brands.
EMBRACiNG CHANGE Just like the progression of the character she plays in the Eternal Love series, Dilmurat herself has matured along with her character. Today she has the same inner strength as Feng Jiu; as conscious of her maturity as her self-awareness.

迪麗熱巴以她的可愛個性贏得了衆多粉絲。 Even children are mesmerized by Dilmurat's personality.
曾有人問她有沒有想過可愛之外，有一天也可以走一下嫵媚女人味 的路線。她回答：嫵媚路線不是我想嫵媚就能馬上嫵媚，生活不是戲。這 種東西會隨著年齡、隨著時間慢慢變化。也不是一定要在什麽時間做一個 什麽樣的角色，不管是可愛的、嫵媚的還是性感的，都是慢慢會變化的。 這個路線不是走出來的，是自然而然發生的。 今年28歲的迪麗熱巴曾談到過她的生日，她說：「我好像很沒有現實 感，感覺自己還在18歲的階段。我對現階段自己取得的成績還不太滿意， 希望自己努力變得更好吧。」 讓自己變得更好，迪麗熱巴的成長還在繼續。
When asked about playing such a girly role and whether she wanted more mature roles, she says: “The gracefulness of age is not something one makes happen. This is something that comes with life experience. it’s not about what kind of role to pursue, whether it is adorable, alluring or sexy. This all happens over time. it’s not something you can make happen. it occurs naturally.” Dilmurat, who turned 28 earlier this year, says this of her recent birthday: “i don’t seem to have a sense of reality. i still feel 18. But i am still not totally happy with where i am at this stage in my life. i still need to work hard and be better.”

It’s an audacious move for the 136-year-old Roman jeweller, but one that already seems to be rock solid.

eG : 你曾經為Marvel的動漫電影《Shang-Chi》試 鏡，但最終由劉思慕得到男主角的角色；你當時感覺 為何？為否以他作為自己在荷里活的假想敵？ Tang : 我知道很多人都愛將我和他作比較。事實 上，約於2012年開展演藝事業的Simu，無論是基礎 和發展都肯定比我好。我不會視他為競爭對手，因為 大家都是同坐一條船，為亞裔藝人爭取多元化發展。 事實上我很替Simu高興，他努力了這許些年，終於 有很大的突破。當然我也為未能得到《Shang-Chi》的 角色而失望，因為事前為試鏡進行了密集的訓練和準 備，自覺這是自己表現最好的試鏡之一，即場的反應 也很好，所以期望是蠻大的。但等了三星期也沒收到 消息，直至見到Simu的IG才知角色落在他身上，那一 刻還是禁不住有點妒忌。然而我還是衷心祝福Simu， 希望電影上映時有好成績。 eG : 傳言你會在《黑豹2》飾演主角之一的Namor McKenzie？ Tang : 自去年十月開始，我每星期也會收到 好幾個這樣的查詢。可能是因為漫畫裏的Namor McKenzie有亞裔背景，也可能是大家留意到我在 Fan-Casting的照片；但一切都要待Marvel作實和公 佈。 作為一個藝人，一定要靈活抓緊每一個機會。所 以荷里活和亞洲同樣是我的發展重心，計劃每年平均 各花四至五個月。
eG: You auditioned for Shang-Chi, but the role went to Simu Liu. Has anyone ever said the two of you have lots in common? Do you consider him a major competitor? How did you feel when you learned he got the role? Tang: “Yeah, many people make the comparison. His career is definitely much further ahead than mine is, but I believe he started acting around 2012. I don’t consider Simu Liu a competitor because we are both in the same boat, fighting for diversity and representation as Asian actors on the big screen. “I was very happy for Simu Liu. I know he has worked hard for many years and this was his big break. I was disappointed not getting the role because I prepared very intensely for my audition and it was, hands down, one of the best auditions I have ever had. I felt very good and got amazing feedback, but didn’t hear anything for three weeks. Then I saw Simu‘s post on Instagram that he had got the role. I was so jealous. But honestly, there is nobody more deserving of it than him. I wish him nothing but the very best with Marvel’s Shang-Chi once the film hits theatres.” eG: Any major movies in the works? There are reports that you will be part of Black Panther 2. Tang: “Since October 2019, I’ve gotten at least a couple of messages every week, asking me about Marvel’s Black Panther 2. The main character is Namor McKenzie and I believe in the original comic he is of Asian descent. I’ve been fortunate to get a lot of attention from fan casting, but nothing is official until Marvel signs off and approves it. 他是聯合國主辦活動「#World Is In Our Hands」 支持眾星之一, 其餘參與的 名人包括Joaquin Phoenix、Nikolaj Coster-Waldau、Susan Sarandon、 Neve Campbell、Rosario Dawson、Alec Baldwin和Antonio Banderas。 Tang is part of a high-profile United Nations environment campaign called #WorldIsInOurHands, Among celebrities taking part are Joaquin Phoenix, Susan Sarandon, Neve Campbell, Rosario Dawson, Alec Baldwin, Antonio Banderas and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau. 62

celebrity eG : 大學畢業後，你由一個年薪超過六位數字的行政人 員，重新起步踏入充滿未知數的娛樂圈。當中的心路歷程？如何 裝備自己？經過多少次試鏡才於2017年得到第一個演出機會？ 有甚麼難忘的經歷？ Tang : 雖然有一定成績，但我並不熱衷行政人員的工作， 純粹是為經濟考慮。反而對電影和電視、幾乎所有跟荷里活和娛 樂圈有關的事都有莫名好奇和吸引。正因為這熱愛，這不再是單 純的工作，而是想全心全意發展的事業。 我浪費了生命中美好的五至八年，走別人覺得我應該走的 路。如果可以，但願能夠早些踏上演員路。我的信念是︰不管年 齡多大，時間都掌握在自己手中，沒有人可以寫你的故事，筆是 在自己手中。 我看了大量的報導和相關資料，盡量認識和了解這行業︰ 如何運作、選角總監、經理人和製作模式。參加了數不清的演員 課程，也嘗試不同衣著和造型，務求突出自己，以亞裔演員身分 爭取到最佳機會。 我算頗幸運，無需經過很多次試鏡已得到第一次演出機 會，反而花了好些時間才找到經理人。入行後，遇到不少作品伴 著自己長大的著名演員，感覺很奇妙和難忘。 eG : 演員路上充滿未知數，會否感到失落和挑戰？ Tang : 作為新人，即使是基本如怎樣記熟對白、劇情分析 也不甚了了，但部分演技導師不但沒鼓勵，反而毫不留情地尖銳 批評，那一刻真的懷疑自己。幸好2018年時遇到好些傑出演技 導師，那種信任和支持，帶來截然不同的感覺。 對大部份從事演藝工作的人來說，如何讓公眾認識，吸引 媒體訪問，建立知名度和形象都是很大挑戰。我出道的時機算 好，《我的超豪男友》、處境喜劇《金氏便利店》和《Shang-Chi》 等，令亞裔演員在荷里活得到更多注意和機會。而來自台灣、成 長於新斯高沙省和冰棍球方面的背景，亦讓我在相關圈子有一定 知名度。 此刻最大的挑戰是如何在許多的未知和名氣中找到平衡， 這行的起伏實在很大，這星期可能忙個不了，來到下星期卻又可 能被動地在等工作機會，擔憂停滯的事業。這種不確定狀態可以 很驚恐的。

eG: You were once a corporate executive with a large annual income. How did you prepare yourself for the transition to become an actor? How many auditions did you go on before getting your first role in 2017? Any unforgettable incidents? Tang: “When I started working in the corporate world, I wasn’t very passionate about it, but it was a means to acquire financial stability. I had a successful career in the corporate world, but I always had an underlying curiosity and obsession for movies and TV shows—pretty much anything to do with Hollywood and the entertainment industry. And since I enjoyed it so much, it would never be considered work. I figured that if I committed myself, I could make a career out of it. “I probably wasted a good five to eight years of my life listening to people telling me who I was. What I’m doing now, I probably could’ve done earlier. No matter how young or old you are, you always have time. Nobody has the right to tell your story—the pen is in your hands. So I researched, trying to understand everything about the industry— how the business side of things worked, casting directors, agencies, film sets. I also experimented with a lot of different looks as I wanted to stand out and figure out which ones would give me the best chance of succeeding as an Asian actor in Toronto. “I was very fortunate. I didn’t have to audition too many times before landing my first role. But it took a while before I got an agent as I was enrolled in so many acting classes. I have many unforgettable experiences, especially meeting famous actors and actresses I had watched on TV growing up.” eG: You must have had some struggles. Tang: “One of the biggest struggles was the harsh criticism from acting coaches. As a new actor, I didn’t understand the basics, like memorizing lines or script analysis, and the acting coaches who were supposed to be encouraging were instead very critical. Fortunately, I met some amazing coaches in 2018 who believed in me. “One of the hardest aspects that most entertainers face is making a name for themselves, such as being featured in newspaper stories and building any sort of fame or name recognition. Being from Taiwan, growing up in Nova Scotia and playing hockey at a high level was a blessing, as it helped me become very well known in Taiwan, Nova Scotia and within the hockey community. My timing right now is good. Crazy Rich Asians, Marvel and Shang-Chi, Kim’s Convenience: this is what you call good timing. “I think the most challenging thing right now is to embrace both uncertainty and fame. Careers are full of ups and downs. One week, you may be busy and another week you are waiting around for things to happen and feeling worried that your career is not progressing. For some, that uncertainty can be very scary so it’s not the type of career for them.”

中學時代被視為冰棍球明日之星，卻因意外受 在荷里活的巨型標誌下，成功求婚。 傷而希望幻滅。 Tang proposed to his long-time girlfriend in March under the His dream of being a hockey star vanished famous Hollywood sign overlooking Los Angeles. after an accident.
由曾經一度的 「肥仔」 ，透過嚴格控制飲食和運 動，減掉近40磅，成就此刻的健碩身形。 Strict diet and exercise helped Tang to shed more than 40 pounds and become super fit.
eG : 如何透過嚴格控制飲食和運動，減掉近40 磅，成就此刻的健碩身形？
eG: You are on a very strict diet and you exercise regularly. You have shed more than 40 pounds and become super fit. What is your diet and workout regimen?
Tang : 剛開始做演員的三年間，還不是怎樣忙， 日程較易安排，會每星期做10至15次運動，每24小時 鍛練2次；每星期至少3至4次進行游泳、長距離跑步、 快速短跑等有氧和無氧運動。同時亦會做針對操練肌 肉的舉重，之後再做大量伸展運動作結束，總體運動 量很大。
Tang: “I will start with my exercise routine. From 2016 to 2019, when my career was not as busy and my schedule was more predictable, I would sometimes train twice a day and would work out a total of 10 to 15 times per week. I like to do cardio (swimming/jogging/HITT/sprints) and anaerobic activities (heavy isolation weightlifting one body part at a time, ending every session with intense stretching) at least three or four times per week.
飲食方面，主要視乎那期間的拍攝或試鏡安排， 星期日至四主要會遵照︰50%蔬菜、30%瘦肉和蛋白 質、15%脂肪和5%碳水化合物的比例來進食。戒糖、 戒水果、戒防腐劑和加工食品；星期五和六則可以破 戒，吃一些不健康的食物︰許多的糖果、煎炸食品和 壽司等美味東西。 eG : 是否自小已經很受女孩子歡迎？聽說你最近 訂婚了。 Tang : 高中和大學時代我已愛打扮，總是把頭 髮弄得很有型地出現，的確有不少女孩子會被吸引過 來，不過當她們和我進一步談話時，會嫌我太過「乖」 和遵規蹈矩，那年紀的女孩子大概會喜歡富挑戰性的 不羈男朋友類型，所以她們大都把我歸納為「好朋友」 而不是「男朋友」範圍，我的感情生活並沒有想象中多 姿多采。 今年三月我在荷里活標誌下跟和我拍了五年拖 的女朋友求婚，她也答允了。她不僅美麗，還十分聰 慧、甜蜜和有愛心，伴我度過生命中各種起落，是我 最好的朋友和畢生摯愛。我認識她時，她還是滑鐵盧 大學三年級學生，現在是多倫多金融區工作的高級精 算師。她對影視行業亦很感興趣，有一天也可能會轉 型成為演員。
“As for diet, from Sunday to Thursday, I have a very strict diet that follows my auditioning and shooting schedule. What I typically eat during these days are: 50 per cent veggies, 30 per cent lean meats and proteins,15 per cent fats, five per cent carbs, zero sugars, zero fruits, zero preservatives and zero processed foods. On Fridays and Saturdays, l take it easy and eat more unhealthy foods, like sweets, deep-fried items, sushi and various other tasty items.” eG: Have you had lots of secret admirers? I understand you are newly engaged. What is that like? Tang: “I was always very athletic in high school and university, and I always liked to dress well and style my hair, but I was awfully shy and not confident at all. I had a lot of girls who may have taken an interest in me based on physical appearance, but after speaking with me, I think they found my personality to be too nice or too predictable and not quite ‘boyfriend’ material. “Girls at a younger age often want the ‘bad boy,’ and I was too shy to be one. So, I didn’t really have many admirers and didn’t date too much. Getting a girlfriend was a struggle. I was definitely placed in the friend zone by many girls. “I’m delighted to share my personal life for this article. I proposed to my girlfriend of more than five years in March under the famous Hollywood sign overlooking Los Angeles. She’s not only beautiful, but a very intelligent, sweet and caring individual who has stuck with me throughout all of life’s ups and downs. She’s definitely my best friend and the love of my life. “I met her when she was in third year at Waterloo University; I just recall a very motivated and focussed student. Today, she has a successful career working on Bay Street in the Financial District in Toronto as a senior actuary associate for Price Waterhouse Coopers. She’s also very passionate about the film and television industry, so one day she hopes to transition into an actress or something within the industry.”

有寶島之稱的台灣不但充滿生氣，而且山明水 秀，景色怡人。過去數月，台灣的抗疫成效超著， 獲國際肯定，而同樣獲讚譽的當然還包括當地無可 抗拒的美食。饒河夜市及士林夜市是遊台灣必到景 點，不過台灣的飲食文化又豈止夜市，原住民及樸 實的家常美食、米芝蓮星級餐廳、全亞洲50大最佳 餐廳及獨特的本土產物，全都是台灣飲食文化的重 要元素。 台灣到處都是美食。一早起來，先到阜杭豆漿 品嚐著名的蛋餅及鹹豆漿。微熱山丘的鳳梨酥全部 均以當地土產鳳梨製成，是最有地道風味的小吃， 再來一杯春水堂的珍珠奶就更為滿足。老字號如林 東芳牛肉麵及經常大排長龍天津蔥抓餅都是必吃之 選，晚餐不妨火鍋，當地的火鍋店多不勝數，由中 價至商檔任君選擇。
As a vibrant and beautiful island bursting with green space, Taiwan is being praised for its unparalleled casual food scene. It’s an emerging paradise for food lovers, boasting night markets like Raohe and Shilin, as well as a culinary culture that’s bolstered by aboriginal and home-style foods, courtesy of a brigade of restaurants recognized by the Michelin Guide and World’s 50 Best Restaurants (Asia). Eating well in Taipei is easy. Start the day at Fu Hang Dou Jiang for their signature egg shao bing, washed down with a bowl of savoury soy milk. Take a tea break with SunnyHills’ finger-sized pineapple cake made from locally grown sun-dried seasonal pineapples and Chun Shui Tang Teahouse’s pearl milk tea. Visit stalwarts like Lin Dong Fan for chili-infused, oil-slicked beef noodle soup, or join a building-wrapping queue for ethereal scallion pancakes at Tianjin in Da’an, before practising hot pot on elaborate mid-range to high-end sophisticated spreads.
從信義區的象山可眺望台灣的天隙線美景，包括台北101大樓。 Taipei’s skyline includes the iconic Taipei 101 building as seen from Xinyi District’s Elephant Mountain.

台灣料理經常被歸類為中菜的一種，但多年來台灣料理已經演化出 其獨特性。台灣菜深受歷史背景影響，稱得上是料理美食文化大熔爐。米 芝蓮兩星食府Taïrroir的主廚何順凱（Kai Ho）指出，這是由於台灣曾經由荷 蘭、西班牙、日本及中國管治，而不同年代亦有不同的飲食潮流。近年掀 起日式料理風潮，一些菜館如位於陽明山公園的松園禪林，既提供日本刺 身同時兼備廣東及老台灣特色菜。2019年的台灣美食展，匯取數百個參展 攤位展示穆斯林菜、台灣原住民菜、素菜、精品菜式及創意美食，充分體 現台灣料理的多元性。 何順凱指出，原住民的部落飲食在200多年前地位舉足輕重。想了解 更多，不妨前往台東富里參加吉拉米代部落的生態遊。在這裡可以體驗阿 美族人的部落生活，還有機會親自撒網捕魚並在大自然的美景下品嚐部落 風味午餐，欣賞如畫般的水梯田及有過百年歷史的古老灌溉系統。 如果到訪金山，一定要試試當地名產蕃薯及薑，那裡的溫泉亦十分有 名。九份老街及茶樓亦值得一遊，日本動畫《神隱少女》其中一幕經典場景 的創作靈感亦來自此地。說到宜蘭的必訪景點，非金車噶瑪蘭酒廠莫屬， 酒廠獲國際葡萄酒暨烈酒大賽2017年年度酒莊。除了美酒，當地的櫻桃烤 鴨亦不可錯過。經過車站別忘了買一份鐵路便當，部分便當帶著車站所屬 地區的特色，如池上車站的便當便用上該區出產的稻米。 返回台北，為的是一頓華麗的盛宴。何順凱及他的團隊以傳統的原 住民部落食材如青竹筍結合新派風味，把經典重新演繹。Taïrroir的創意餐 牌名為Qiu Lu Cai（台語「手路菜」），以法式烹調手藝呈現出一道道驚喜菜 式，當中包括以嶄新面貌出現的經典街頭小吃蚵仔煎。另一道菜是釀入原 隻飽魚的炆釀雞翼，開胃菜用上來自台灣谷關的beluga caviar鱘魚子醬， 旁邊放了蛤蜊、豆芽及木魚片，上菜時在客人面前加入熱騰騰的法式清燉 肉湯，無論色、香、味都令人無法抗拒。最後由糕餅師Angela Lai呈上各 款精緻的甜品，如夾著山茶花油忌廉及鳳梨味雪葩的鹹蛋黃曲奇餅，可說 是鳳梨酥的變奏版。
Taïrroir用普洱茶滷煮雞蛋，把蛋煮成溏心蛋，並置於蕃薯軟蓉，蛋上覆 蓋一層冰花脆餅，最後將熱騰騰的雞粥淋在茶葉蛋上。 At Taïrroir, the supplemental course features a silkie soft boiled egg with Pu’er tea that’s served on a sweet potato fondant, topped with crispy pain dentelle and finished with a tableside pour of congee.
Often categorized under Chinese food, Taiwanese cuisine is emerging as its own. The melting pot cuisine takes influence from its past: twoMichelin starred Taïrroir’s head chef Kai Ho attributes that to Taiwan’s colonization by the Dutch, Spanish, Japanese and Chinese, but also notes the cuisine is generation-dependent. In contrast to the preference for Chinese cuisines two decades ago, there’s a current interest in Japanese. You’ll find items like sashimi existing in harmony with Cantonese and Taiwanese flavours on menus across the island. The diversity of Taiwan’s cuisine was showcased at the 2019 Taiwan Culinary Exhibition through hundreds of vendors serving Muslim, indigenous, vegetarian, gourmet and innovative foods. According to Ho, the dominant cuisine from 200-plus years ago was indigenous. To learn more, head out to mountainous Taitung for Fuli’s Cilamitay Tribe eco-tour, where preserved aborigine traditions successfully integrate with modern culture. Spend the day with the Amis people, meeting the rice farmers and fishermen on a guided tour of their village. Attempt to net fish before partaking in a farm-to-table lunch above picturesque, still functioning, terraced rice fields with 100-year-old irrigation systems, and appreciate why the island was named Formosa by Portuguese sailors back in the 16th century.
Taïrroir的蚵仔煎採用口感柔滑的澎湖鮮蚵，並覆蓋上酥脆的炒鴨蛋，再 淋上鮮蠔奄列醬。 Taïrroir’s version of ô-á-tsian (oyster omelette) features a silky poached Penghu oyster blanketed by crispy fried "scrambled" duck egg shreds that’s drizzled with oyster omelette sauce.
Try sweet potatoes and ginger when in Jinshan. Visit a teahouse and admire the old streets of Jiufen, which inspired the animated film Spirited Away. You can’t travel to Yilan without stopping for a tour of Kavalan, the International Wine and Spirit Competition 2017’s Distiller of the Year, before feasting on the region’s famed Cherry Valley roasted duck. Just make sure to try a train bian dang (bento) on your travels. They’re so popular that the Taiwan Railways Administration stations sell more than 10-million bentos annually, with some station’s version becoming the village’s main attraction, like Chishang, which uses the region’s rice. Back in Taipei over a splendid meal of reimagined culinary classics prepared by Ho and his team, I experience the way tradition and preservation of indigenous ingredients integrates with the contemporary palate. Interpreted through refined French techniques, Taïrroir’s innovative “Qiu Lu Cai” menu serves whimsical courses. Here, silky poached Penghu oyster hides under a messy cap of fried “scrambled” duck egg that’s drizzled with oyster omelette sauce. Another course features a juicy braised abalone-stuffed chicken wing, while a quenelle of farmed Beluga caviar from Guguan. It’s excellent, captivating all senses with its aromatic and deep flavours.

Pine Garden位於士林區的松園禪林，八道菜的餐單採用時令食材，如前菜沙律便分別展現甜、苦、辣、酸及鹹五味。 Pine Garden in Shilin District. Its eight-course menu employs seasonal ingredients like a starting salad spread featuring sweet, bitter, sour and savoury dishes.
松園禪林把日式及台式風味完美融和，夏日 「原心」 套餐提供鮑魚枸杞蕎麥冷麵。 Pine Garden’s summer “Original Intention” menu featured a delicious cold wolfberry soba noodle course with marinated abalone.
被問及如何定義台灣料理，土生土長的何順凱表示，主要受福建 及日本影響。不過他認為現在的食客較注重食材及烹調手法，這表示 像Taïrroir這類餐廳將會愈來愈被大眾接受。「到街上走一轉就會知道何 謂台灣料理，牛肉麵、鹵肉飯、小籠包、炸雞……」他補充說。「不過 我自己仍然在探索中！定位依然模糊。」台灣料理不斷演變，絕不局限 於一道菜或一個定義。你要親身試過才能體會。
Pastry chef Angela Lai’s delightful final courses continue the impressive narrative with mildly sweet creations, such as pineapple cake-inspired salted egg cookies sandwiching camellia oil crémeux with pineapple sorbet, and a trolley brimming with mignardises. Asked to define Taiwanese cuisine, Ho (born and raised there) believes it’s mainly Fujian with Japanese influences. He notes, however, that present-day diners care more about the ingredients and their preparation, which means they’re more receptive to restaurants like Taïrroir. Ever evolving, Taiwanese cuisine goes beyond one dish or definition. You just have to taste it for yourself. 76

在外牆鋪上灰色LEGO磚。 Grey exterior in Lego bricks.
說起LEGO，毫無疑問是童年回憶，總會提醒我們那靜好歲月。 LEGO Campus是LEGO在發源地丹麥麥中部比隆（Billund）最新 建造的大型企劃，佔地約54,000平方米，預計於2021年完全竣工， 現時已落成的是其中的辦公室總部。比隆除了是Legoland所在之地， 全球有90% 的LEGO磚是在這裡的工廠生產，連當地的機場也是由 LEGO於六十年代出資興建，可見LEGO與比隆的緊密相連。 辦公室總部找來建築師CF Møller負責設計，銳意將LEGO的六大 理念—imagination、creativity、fun、learning、caring及quality貫徹 其中，從外觀到內部設計，均與這六大理念息息相關。它沒有像同樣 在比隆由BIG設計的LEGO House般色彩繽紛，除了透過不同設計將 兩者區分；也因為辦公室的性質始終要沉穩一些。整幢辦公室採用大 量落地玻璃建成，也是近年以採光為目標的大趨勢，玻璃之間加入了 灰色的LEGO磚，遠看彷彿融入建築底部的灰色牆之中，近看才見到 當中的心思及樂趣，也就知道這是LEGO辦公室，童叟無欺。以灰色 為主調的建築之上，設計了一個黃色的「僭建物」，原來也是一塊大型 LEGO磚，頓時為建築注入歡樂的元素，與LEGO的理念一脈相承。 辦公室總部內部氣氛比較輕鬆，四處都是以LEGO砌成的大小裝 置，也設有不少開揚的公共空間，其中一條連接數層的樓梯採用鮮綠 色，並且設計成搶眼的螺旋狀，令人甫踏進建築物就留下深刻印象。 屋頂的黃色LEGO磚是開放予公眾的部份，不但可以透過窗戶欣賞城 市景色，也可購買最新的LEGO套裝。 近年大家關注的可持續元素，可見於屋頂所鋪上的4,150塊太陽 能電池板，足以提供整幢建築物所需電力的一半；天台亦種植了大量 植物，用以吸收雨水並將它重用在澆灌總部的公園植物，非常環保。 最令人期待的，是LEGO Campus在2021年竣工以後，會提供大講 堂、健身中心、藝術工作坊、咖啡店等設施，上班原來可以好開心。

為員工設計一些 「靜坐位」 ，讓員工專心工作。 A bench for employees to sit and think.
Lego has played a vital role in childhood development for decades. It’s the source of many vivid memories for children and parents alike. So it comes as no surprise that the toy company’s new campus in Billund, Denmark will be equally memorable. When finished next year, it will encompass more than half-a-million square feet. Without a doubt, Lego is an integral part of Billund. In addition to being home to the legendary Legoland, Billund also produces 90 per cent of all Lego bricks globally. Even the local airport was financed by Lego in the 1960s. Architect CF Møller has incorporated Lego’s six main elements— imagination, creativity, fun, learning, caring and quality—into both the exterior and interior design of the main office. It differs from the Lego House, designed by the Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), which is quite colourful. The intention with the new development was to illustrate the difference between the work nature of the main office and the experience concept of the campus. The entire office building uses floor-to-ceiling windows, which aligns with current architectural trends towards brighter interiors. Grey-tone Lego bricks separate the gigantic windows. In contrast to the building’s dominant grey tone is an overhanging yellow brick that appears to have been “snapped” onto the top of the building in true Lego form and function. Inside, Lego displays are assembled in varying sizes throughout multiple open spaces. And there is an eye-catching green spiral staircase connecting the four floors. The magnificent yellow brick cube at the top is open to the public where visitors can enjoy amazing city views as well as shop for the latest in Lego. In terms of being eco-friendly, Lego installed 4,150 solar panels on the roof to produce half of the building’s electricity. And a planted rooftop greenery will absorb and collect rain water for irrigation reuse. When fully completed, the employee campus will include a large lecture hall, a fitness centre and an artist workshop.
悉心設計的色調貫徹LEGO宗旨。 A thoroughly curated colour tone is a Lego theme.

Wine not?
Ayala Blanc de Blancs 年份香檳由2013 到2019，醞釀陳存長達6年才出土面世。 Ayala Blanc de Blancs was aged for six years, from 2013 to 2019, before being introduced to the world.
開香檳的理由
Victory lap
Using only one grape instead of the traditional three, ayala Blanc de Blancs 2013 champagne delivers diverse and rounded flavours Story | Ivan wong
香檳，於法國人而言別具抗戰意義，近代史中的 Champagne Campaign（又稱Operation Anvil龍騎兵行動或普 羅旺斯登陸），便是盟軍於二次大戰中最被低估的其中一個於法 國南部展開的軍事行動，成功為盟軍進攻德國提供了近33%的 軍需供應。愛香檳如命的邱吉爾更誇大其詞，理直氣壯以香檳 之名向同樣無香檳不歡的希特拉開戰，咬著雪茄以一派智者般 說：「請記著︰我們不單是為法國而戰，也是為香檳！」 面前這瓶香檳，是Ayala Blanc de Blancs 2013年份的 香檳，雖然2013年是個遲收成（在十月初）的年份，Côte des Blancs的Chardonnay葡萄亦要撐過遲開花的較濕涼氣候，但 於Ayala釀酒總監Caroline Latrive而言，仍說它是香檳區的一個 極佳年份。

Did you know that Winston Churchill, known to be a Champagne and cigar lover, stoked morale in the war against Adolf Hitler with the words:“Remember gentlemen, it’s not just France we are fighting for, it’s Champagne.” Did you also know that the Champagne Campaign (aka Operation Anvil) was the code name used for the Allied landing of Provence. Although one of the most underestimated military operations by Allied forces in southern France during the WWII, it successfully delivered one-third of the vital supplies needed for the German offensive. So it is no surprise that the French take the fame of Champagne very seriously; it’s a badge of honour. But one producer is doing something a bit different. Where most Champagne is a blend of three principal grapes grown in the region (Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Menieur), Ayala Blanc
釀造香檳，Ayala明顯投了鋼桶而非木桶一票。 Ayala favours steel barrels over wood casks for its Champagne.
雖說是單一葡萄品種，但優質的葡萄莊園，每一塊葡萄田都可長出不同特性的葡萄來，給造酒人顯現其 釀酒功架。 Although using only a single grape species, the diverse characteristics of the grapes from different fields in high-end vineyards let winemakers show off their skills.
香檳區採用的法定葡萄主要有三種︰Chardonnay、 Pinot Noir和Pinot Menieur，混合三種葡萄的特性取長補 短。而Blanc de Blancs（白中白）則只採用Chardonnay， 是要把最優質的Chardonnay中的複雜性無障礙地完全發 揮出來，單一葡萄雖屬一元，但仍可做到多元且圓滿的 風味，就看釀酒師的釀酒功架而已。以Ayala Blanc de Blancs 2013年份的香檳為例，其細膩而剛勁的深層次風 味，便是以不同村莊的葡萄特性融匯出來—Cramant村莊 提供礦物質感的骨架、像絲綢般的鮮嫩幼滑口感便是來自 Chouilly村莊、貴精不貴多的Le Mesnil-sur-Oger村莊貢獻 出來的則是一種難以言喻的繃緊及張力，給予香檳極高的 陳存潛力……留待值得慶祝的時候，就如疫情過後。
de Blancs 2013 has only one: Chardonnay. Although 2013 was a late harvest (in early October), and the Chardonnay grapes of Côte des Blanc also had to endure a cooler climate that delayed the flowering time, Ayala’s Chef de Cave Caroline Latrive believes it was still a good vintage for the Champagne region. But Blanc de Blancs uses only Chardonnay. As long as the complexity of topquality Chardonnay is fully expressed, using only one type of grape can still deliver diverse and rounded flavours. It simply comes down to the skill of the winemaker. And Ayala Blanc de Blancs 2013 is a case in point. Its delicate and deep flavour profile blends in the unique characteristics of the grapes from different villages: Cramant creates the framework with mineral textures, Chouilly brings a silky-smooth fresh finish to the mix and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, despite low production quantity, offers a je ne sais quoi intensity. The mix gives this Champagne enormous potential for aging... until that next special occasion. Perhaps the day the world beats COVID-19.

2020年款的奧迪Q7實在太棒了。去年底我在愛爾蘭用它 走了一轉環海公路Ring of Kerry，深深體會到它的厲害。 第二代Q7是同時可擁有5人與7人設定的三排座位跨界 車，於2014年開始發售，今年推出中期改款。新款車長5,063 毫米，比舊款長11毫米，但軸距（2,994毫米）、車身寬度（1970 毫米）和高度（1,741毫米）則維持不變。 在加拿大售賣的Q7有兩款引擎供選擇，分別是2.0TFS1和 3.0TFS1。後者採用3公升渦輪增壓引擎，取代了舊款的3公升 機械增壓引擎，可輸出340匹馬力和368磅/呎扭力，由靜止加 速至時速100公里僅僅需要5.9秒。Q7還提供一個48伏特輕混 動力系統，最大輸出功率為250kW。 廠方形容Q7是輛「具備越野能力的公路車」，有3種懸掛系 統供選購，分別是：標準的鋼製彈簧懸掛、可購置的氣壓懸掛 和運動型氣壓懸掛，並配備7種Audi Drive Select駕駛模式，當 中有兩種屬於越野，讓駕駛者依照個人駕駛習慣自行選用。
The 2020 Audi Q7 is one terrific car. I learned all about it during a drive around Ireland’s fabled Ring of Kerry. This second-generation, three-row crossover has been updated and tweaked. For instance, the new model is 5,063mm long, which is 11mm longer than previous models. The wheelbase (2,994mm), width (1970mm) and height (1,741mm) remain unchanged. Engines earmarked for Canada are the 2.0 TFS1 and the 3.0 TFS1, which is a 3.0-litre turbocharged engine that replaces the 3.0-L supercharged and produces 340 horsepower and 368 lb/ft of torque (zero to 100 km/h in 5.9 seconds). There is also a mild hybrid system of 48 volts that injects up to 250 kW into the mix. Add a belt-driven alternator-starter to capture kinetic energy from braking, and a system whereupon the engine will shut down when the car is coasting, and you have one highly efficient, environmentally friendly automobile. Described as an “on-road vehicle with off-road capabilities,” the Q7 offers a choice of three suspensions: the standard steel spring suspension and optional air suspension and air suspension sport. There are seven Audi Drive Select driving modes, including two for off-road.

2020年改款的Q7提供30多套輔助駕駛系統，包括遠程雷達、定速巡 航輔助和拖車輔助系統等等，使行車更加安全、省油及舒適。
Okay, let’s go inside. The driver, once settled, sees two pop-up monitors: the top one is for infotainment and navigation; the bottom one is for climate control and other things, such as writing down a location for the navigation system. There’s Wi-Fi and an Amazon Alexa voice-recognition system. You can look at a map and keep an eye on the speedometer, both of which are right behind the steering wheel in a 12.3-inch-wide virtual cockpit. Very functional and friendly. There are also more than 30 driver-assistance systems, ranging from long-range radar to active cruise assist and trailer assist.
奧迪在本國推出Komfort、Progressiv和Technik三個Q7的款式，售價 從Komfort的67,200元到Progressiv的82,900元不等。
The Q7 comes in three trim lines (Komfort, Progressiv and Technik) and pricing ranges from $67,200 for the Komfort to $82,900 for the Progressiv.
無論你稱奧迪Q7為經過改良的全新車、修正版，還是更新版，它都是 極品。我和我的試車夥伴(Driving.ca的Peter Bleakney)對這車的印象十分 好，我肯定你的看法也會一樣。
The new-and-improved, refreshed, updated—whatever you want to call it—Audi Q7 is a gem. My driving partner (Peter Bleakney of driving.ca) and I were both impressed. I’m sure you will be, too.
新款Q7的屏幕科技感十足。中控台有兩個屏幕，上面的一個闊10.1 吋，提供娛樂資訊和導航信息；下面的屏幕控制車內溫度，更可用來記下 位置供導航系統使用，並裝有Wi-Fi和Amazon Alexa語音識別系統。在方 向盤的正後方有一個12.3吋闊的平視顯示器，你可以一邊看地圖，一邊留 意車速計，非常實用和方便。
