徐子淇這Temperley London長裙，高領和手袖設計均很是復古優雅，充滿外國六、七十年代貴族感覺，配上少女化髮型，擺脫她一貫的成熟風格。

許瑋甯穿著的Reem Acra晚裝，上身別緻的釘珠圖案，配以透視設計，性感得來不落低俗，特別喜歡希臘女神感覺的袖子，高貴又優雅。

楊丞琳的裝扮暗藏細節，比方是袖子縷空的鈕扣及腰間cut out設計，均為本來黑實的造型添上特色，配襯銀耳環和all back髮型，貫徹簡約型格味道。

The high neckline and sleeve design of the Temperley London gown worn by Cathy epitomizes vintage elegance and evokes the noble charm of the ’60s and ’70s. The youthful hairstyle takes years off her usual mature styling.

The Reem Acra gown on Tiffany Ann stands out with a sexy, but not crass, beaded nude bodice. The classy, chic sleeves add a Greek goddess accent.

See-through buttoned sleeves and a cut-out waist make this black number suddenly more interesting. The silver earrings and the slickedback hair complete Raine’s minimalistic look.

Stephy這身Johanna Ortiz打扮，前短後長的白色上衣，略帶禮服款式，簡單的襯以黑色長褲和銀色高跟鞋，已流露單膊型格的韻味。

The master touch to Jade’s Alice + Olivia red dress is the red scarf. Her slim legs are on full display and further lengthened by the soft gold heels. It’s a picture of style and sophistication.

A white clean-cut jacket with strong shoulder lines set off the softness of the white jumpsuit underneath and reflect Gigi’s transformation into a successful businesswoman. The all-back hair styling keeps the look clean too.

The asymmetrical hemline of the Johanna Ortiz tuxedo-like white top worn by Stephy looks perfectly simple paired with black pants and silver heels to amply set off the charming oneshoulder look.

Karen Gillan

出席大型活動，很多女星不求造型破格，以穩陣好看行先。Brittany Snow黑色Deep V長裙，既性感又優雅，正是示範佳作。

有時選色也反映到女星的品味和實力，假如Jessica Chastain這晚裝是深藍色，便覺平平無奇，現在所選的淺藍系色調雖不易駕馭，卻讓她成功襯托出奇幻風味。

《逃出魔幻紀》女主角Karen Gillan不但有美麗臉龐，身形還十分高挑，穿上極搶眼的金色晚裝，閃而不俗，瞬間成為焦點。

Why be outlandish when you can never go wrong with the tried-and-tested on the red carpet? This black deep-V gown worn by Brittany does it all — sexy and classy.

Colour choice is a true test of an actress’s taste. If this gown on Jessica had been navy, she would have been lost in the crowd. The lightblue choice is not easy to carry off, but she manages to do it and show her true colour.

Karen is blessed with a beautiful face and a tall, slender shape. This gold number on the star of Jumanji is dazzling but not gaudy, and definitely puts her in the spotlight.

Cover Story 過去兩年，仙氣女神張鈞甯一直忙工作，穿梭中、港、台、英國、德國，日程幾乎沒有「放假」兩字，卻藉著喜愛的工作取得養分，只須輕鬆運動、稍稍保養，膚質與體態依然維持高水平。且看氣質美女如何施展這道美麗魔法。

Angelic Janine Chang has been absorbed in work the past two years, shuttling between China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, the UK and Germany. No holiday has been pencilled in. But the busier she is, the more she thrives. With a little exercise and a little care for herself, she stays fit and radiant. How does she do it?

奔波於拍攝電視劇、出席廣告代言活動、雜誌訪問和封面拍攝、還有電視劇宣傳的張鈞甯，給人來去如風的感覺。她自己也承認：「我肯定是工作狂，但都是自找的，因為我很愛我的工作，不能怨別人。」她真心享受工作，人生也因工作而有轉變，「工作帶給我很多不同的感覺和改變，譬如當運動品牌代言人，我便開始做運動；飾演反派角色，讓我感受不同的心情轉折。」

內外保養

張鈞甯的保養貼士，當然不只一個，「因工作經常要出差，在乾燥的機艙，最重要是保濕，每次坐長途機，我都在睡覺前敷精華面膜，補充水份，然後搽上保濕肌底液。」她認為內在保養也很重要，雖然忙工作，也不會忽略運動，「今天一早就開始拍攝工作，但我也堅持早起去游泳，工作時就能精神飽滿。」游泳、跑步、瑜伽和打坐已成為她的日常運動。她亦分享了食療進補秘方，「拍戲的時候，我會帶備電鍋來煲湯，例如紅豆蓮子伏苓湯、白木耳紅棗黃芪湯，都是補氣血的好配搭。這都是朋友試過覺得好，介紹給我的。」多管齊下，連一直困擾她的皮膚敏感問題，也得到改善，「我自小對眼淚過敏，皮膚一接觸到眼淚就會發紅，現在過敏反應已減輕了，但當演員難免要流淚，唯有趕快抹掉，便不會刺激皮膚。」

workaholic, but I did ask for it because I love to work, so there’s no blaming anyone else. “Work brings me different feelings and changes. As a spokesperson for a sports brand, for example, I began to work out. To portray a bad person, my persona changed too.” Such a hectic and demanding schedule has inevitably taken its toll. Chang admits she doesn’ t sleep enough and says constantly wearing makeup has had

像張鈞甯這樣太忙太累，狀態總會受影響，她說自己睡眠不足，加上經常化妝，健康和皮膚都會變差。「演員是一個很傷心的職業，角色的情緒起伏很大，有時候會覺得心跳得人很累。」皮膚長時間被化妝品遮蓋，也熬出問題來，「我的膚質偏乾，經常化妝令我更乾，而且片場燈光有強烈紫外線，照得多會曬黑，由今年開始，我每日都喝補充劑，為皮膚注入膠原蛋白，乾燥問題已有改善。」

an impact on her complexion. “Acting is hazardous to the heart, an emotional roller-coaster. My skin became dry from wearing cosmetics all the time and the UV lighting in the studio darkens the skin. Since the beginning of this year, I’ve been taking supplements daily to replenish collagen and I can see the improvements.”

herself.“As I travel very often, I find it vital to stay hydrated when flying,” she says. “On every long flight, I will rehydrate with a serum mask and hydrating moisturizer before going to sleep.” Skincare is important and so is exercise, her hectic schedule notwithstanding. Swimming, jogging, yoga and meditation are all part of her daily routine.“Today’s shooting started very early,’ she says, “but I still got up early for a swim to get an energy boost for work.” Chang says nutrition also plays a big part. “I will bring an electric pot to locations for making soup like red bean lotus seed poria, or white fungus red date huang qi. Both are good combinations for boosting energy and circulation. Friends gave me the recipes after they found them effective.” The multi-level approach is working, and Chang says her lingering allergies have improved too.“I have dealt with allergy tears since I was small. My skin would turn red instantly when touched by tears. Now the reaction has been muted somewhat. It’s hard to avoid shedding tears as an actor. I have to dry them instantly to avoid irritating my skin.”

她心目中的「女神」，光環是來自活得精彩，「我有一位德國朋友，她的夢想是做家庭主婦，每天到菜市場買食物，或者收割親手種的蔬菜，為家人準備早、午、晚餐，做家務，閒時做做木雕，製作餐具，這些全都是她喜歡做的事，丈夫也很支持她，日子過得開心，她臉上常常散發著迷人光彩，是我心目中的真女神。」當演員是她最喜愛的事，所以每談到工作，她眼裡也閃現著神彩，「噢！我真的非常愛我的工作。剛出道時，純粹覺得這行業很有趣，讓我去到不同地方，認識不同的人，演繹不同的角色，打開我心中很多框框。」

“goddess” label, she chuckled: “Thank you very much! I don’t think of doing something she enjoys. “I have a German friend whose dream was to become a housewife: to go to the market to buy food every day; to harvest vegetables she grows herself; to prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner for her family; to do housework, and then take time out for wood carving. These are all the things she enjoys doing. Her husband is very supportive of her, and they lead a very happy life. She always looks exuberant and, to me, she is a real goddess.” Acting is what Chang enjoys most, so when we talked about her work, her eyes lit up. “Oh, I really love working. When I first started, I simply felt that this line of work was very interesting. It took me to different places and I

出道十五年，她早已習慣面對群眾，但小時候的張鈞甯卻是內向、害羞，連跟老師說話也不敢，要姐姐傳話。「小時候不單不愛表演，連跟別人說話也害怕，明明背得滾瓜爛熟的課文，但老師一叫我的名字，人便很緊張，腦中一片空白，沒法思考。」出眾外表，讓她在街頭被星探發掘，當上廣告模特兒，開始時試鏡常常失準，曾經令她很氣餒。「每一次我都緊張得很，失敗了三、四十次後，忽然醒覺：『觀眾想看到的，是我很自在、自然的模樣，只要專注表演，不要多想，就不會緊張。』結果，我成功了！」

It’s a big change from her younger days when she was reserved and shy, so much so that she needed her sister to talk to teachers on her behalf. “In those days, I didn’t like performing. I was intimidated by speaking with other people. No matter how well I recited a passage, as soon as the teacher called my name, I was so nervous that I

完美主義由廣告女主角，晉身電視、電影女主角，張鈞甯每次都全力以赴，但這位生於9月4日的處女座，凡事追求完美，坦言初當演員時，總是覺得表現未如理想，「以前一直在摸索演戲是甚麼一回事，直至到中國拍劇，才漸漸感受到箇中樂趣，我會為新角色、新作品而興奮期待。」說到演繹最滿意的角色，她的完美主義又作祟：「只有大家比較喜歡或者欣賞的，但暫時仍未有最滿意。」她一直渴望挑戰更高難度，演繹層次豐富的角色。「人性很複雜，沒有一個人是百分百好人或者壞人，我正在期待一個能表現人性，複雜又多層次的角色。」她熱愛運動，自恃體能不弱，想挑戰動作片，「我沒有認真學過武打，不過常常拍古裝，也學過一些功架，有機會也希望嘗試做打女，我不怕曬黑啊！」

blanked out.” Chang’s good looks caught the attention of a talent scout on the street, and she soon became an advertising model. In the early auditions, things often went amiss, which was disheartening. “I was so nervous every time. After failing 30 to 40 times, I came to realize this: ‘The audience wants to see me as who I am. As long as I focus on acting, and not think too much, then I won’t be nervous.’ It

今天的張鈞甯，很清楚自己想要甚麼，「我學懂說不，選擇適合自己的工作，不要浪費時間，人的精力有限，應該養精蓄銳，以最佳狀態去打一場有意義的仗。」

COVER STORY

A perfectionist She then moved on from commercials to star in television series and movies, giving it her all at every turn. This Virgo, born on Sept. 4, is a perfectionist who always feels she could have performed better. “In the past, I was always in search of what it meant to be an actor. I discovered the fun of it only when I went to Mainland China for TV series. I would look forward to new roles and new works.” When asked which role she was most satisfied with, the perfectionist in her emerged again, saying: “I can only name the roles that people quite liked or enjoyed. I can’t yet say which is the one I’m most satisfied with. “Human nature is very complex. There isn’t a single person who is a 100-per-cent good person or bad person. I am hoping for a role that expresses the complexities of human nature.” An exercise buff, Chang says she would love to use her fitness in tackling action movies. “I haven’t really been trained in martial arts, but I have learned some moves from acting in period dramas. I would like to attempt warrior roles. I’m not worried about getting a bit of sun.” Chang knows what she wants and isn’t averse to expressing it. “I have learned to say ‘no’, and choose work that suits me, rather Black felt hat Dress J’ adior woven bracelet All from Dior

卡地亞有兩項最矚目的複雜製錶功能，分別是為Model A神秘

的月亮，會在透明錶盤上慢慢由左邊走到右邊，好像懸浮在半空中。同一時間，月亮和太陽又發揮著指針的角色，在「半空」走過

的時候，指示出小時。至於錶盤的下方，則是逆跳分鐘。粉紅金或白金殼直徑40mm，搭載自家手上鏈機芯。

Cartier has two notable complications – the mystery mechanism of

the Model a Mystery Clock and the day/night indicator of the Comet Clock. For the first time, the two complications are brought together in a crossover — the sun

depicting day and the moon

depicting night, floating from left to right on the see-

through upper dial to indicate the hour. the bottom half of the dial shows minutes in

white gold, with an in-house hand-winding calibre.

名為Manufacture的是重點推介。43mm不鏽鋼錶殼外刻印著測速計的陶瓷錶圈，黑白分明的「Panda」式計時小盤，與經典賽車上的

儀錶板類同。紅色秒針尖端採用了Minerva特有的箭頭標誌設計作致敬。搭載的是自家製MB 25.10自動機芯，防水100米，小牛皮錶帶款約售$7,500，不鏽鋼鏈帶款約售$8,000。

as Montblanc’s integral Minerva manufacture marks its 160th

anniversary, several Minerva-inspired timepieces have been unveiled.

among them is this “Manufacture” model. the 43-millimetre stainless steel case is framed by a ceramic tachymeter scale bezel. the

chronograph sub-dials form a “Panda-style” black-and-white contrast, reminiscent of the dashboards of classic race cars.

the red seconds hand features the iconic Minerva arrow as a

tribute to the manufacture. It is powered by the in-house MB 25.10

automatic movement, water-resistant to 100 metres. the calf leather

strap version goes for $7,500, while the stainless steel bracelet version retails for $8,000

MI IWC Tribute to Pallweber Edition "150 Years"

IWC的digital display新作演變自一枚1884年出產的袋錶。跳

時、跳分、小秒由上至下排列，前兩者視窗外更刻上「 H o u r s 」和

「Minutes」，讀時方式直接簡單。機芯蘊含了3塊數字轉盤，分別代表位數分鐘、十位數分鐘和小時。製錶師生怕跳字模式影響走時的穩定或動力，所以一分鐘轉碟配備獨立發條鼓的輪系系統，即使每隔60秒推進一格，也不會對走時構成問題。腕錶採用45mm紅金錶殼，配備黑字藍針白色漆面錶盤，內藏Cal. 94200手上鏈機芯，動力儲備可達60小時，限量250枚。

IWC’s new digital display creation evolves from an 1884 pocket watch.

the jumping hour, jumping second and small second are aligned from

top down, with “Hours” and “Minutes” denoting the respective dials. the

mechanism is formed of three number discs, one for the hour and two for minutes in one and two digits.

to negate the effect of the jumping displays on precision and power,

the one-minute disc is fitted with its own barrel and gear trains, so that

accuracy is maintained even if it jumps every 60 seconds. the 45-milimetre red gold case, and the white lacquered dial, look clean with black numerals and blue hands. limited to 250 pieces, it is powered by the hand-winding Cal. 94200, offering 60 hours of power reserve.

In its much-anticipated debut at sIHH, Hermès introduced the

arceau collection, adopting Henri d’origny’s design of 1978 —

notable for the asymmetrical lugs inspired by stirrups on the round

case. this new arceau looks sportier with a bead-blasted finish for the titanium case and galvanic black for the dial to accentuate the

red second hand and the small second hand at 3 o’clock. It comes with two saddle-inspired strap options — a classic natural Barenia

calfskin and a black embossed Barenia calfskin. the case measures 41 millimetres and is powered by an automatic calibre.

Building own supply chains Laurelton Diamonds Belgium BVBA, with headquarters in Antwerp, was set up in 2002 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tiffany & Co. It maintains a one-stop operation of the diamond supply chain, from mining raw diamonds to grading, cutting and polishing, to ensuring each and every diamond meets the brand’s exacting standards.

Sharing benefits with employees The brand believes strongly that, in addition to a business plan, running a factory in a developing country must generate benefits for the community. Veteran craftsman Sohan (left) was a fisherman before joining LDM. He changed careers to improve his living standards and was delighted that the current job provides a stable lifestyle, as well as a comfortable home for his family.

當傳統工藝遇上新科技德國製造的視光學產品，又豈僅限於鏡片的範疇？由Harald Gottschling、Daniel Haffmans、 Philipp Haffmans及Moritz Krüger於二○○三年在德國柏林創立的Mykita，就是一個銳意突破傳統框架，以創新物料與科技，配合精細手藝製作的時尚眼鏡品牌，極致簡約的風格，是其一大賣點。品牌創辦人兼設計師之一的Moritz Krüger這樣看近年的眼鏡潮流及發展：「我們很留意、亦甚欣賞韓國眼鏡品牌的產品，其設計及製作技術都具有很高質素，更有點artistic approach，受歡迎是無可厚非的。其實日本、意大利及法國等地的眼鏡設計及工藝，都各具優點，我們希望在傳統的眼鏡市場中，提供另類選擇。我們會吸收及了解市場最新的流行元素，但不會為迎合潮流而創作。傳統工藝的精髓，也是一種啟發。」

When traditional craftsmanship meets new technology Founded in 2003 in Berlin, Mykita is an optical brand committed to breaking traditional confines and using innovative materials and technology, together with exquisite artistry, to create fashionable eyewear. It’s notable for its minimalistic approach. Co-founder and designer Moritz Krüger has this to say about the current eyewear trends and developments: “We like Korean eyewear brands. Their design and production skills are great, somewhat like an artistic approach, which is why they are popular. Japan, Italy and France also have their unique attributes in eyewear design and artistry. We hope to offer alternatives in the traditional eyewear market. We will take in the trendiest elements in the market, but will not create only to fit into trends. We take inspiration from the essence of traditional artistry too.”

An affinity with materials Mykita eyewear is known for its screw-free frames, thus minimizing the weight without affecting the stability and flexibility of the metal frames. The brand has also found a way to produce 0.5-millimetre-thick stainless steel to render the metal frame almost weightless. “I love materials, and enjoy trying out different combinations of elements,” Krüger says. “From using metal in the early days and progressing to Acetate and lately to the newly developed Mylon (a stainless steel material made with a 3D printing technique called Selective

All of its products are “Made in Germany”, and the entire production process, from material R&D to prototyping and production, is carried out in the building. 1-4 除了善用科技如3D打印技術，鏡架的結構細節、焊接、打磨及鏡片鑲嵌等工序，都必須交由資深工匠人手製作。 1-4 Other than putting such technology as 3D printing to good use, all the construction details of the frames, such as welding, polishing and fitting the lenses, are also personally executed by experienced artisans.

綜觀各品牌的「白作」，Givenchy最大膽，一白到底，利用lace與tulle等輕身布料，成功為total white look

進級升格；愈戰愈勇的JACQUEMUS就以誇張的打摺細節，將與時尚沾不上邊的老套米白色連身套裝，化身成別具看頭的正裝造型；而Burberry同樣以白襯衫著手，將領巾與襯衫融為一體，感覺有趣獨特。至於配飾方面，Céline最新力推的米白色big bag bucket，繼續主打品牌實用簡約的風格，設計時尚又百搭，配襯以上任何一套白色look均可，不枉為每季手袋系列的人氣王。 Givenchy has the most thorough take. It takes a total white look to the next level by using light textiles, such as lace and tulle. Jacquemus brings old-fashioned suits of shirt and skirt to the forefront with a one-of-a-kind fashion statement by implementing exaggerated folds.Burberry has incorporated a scarf into white shirt with unique results.

Gucci Eco cashmere coat with web $6,540 (gucci.com) Sweatshirt Checkered trousers $1,965 (farfetch.com) Both from Lanvin Givenchy brogue derby with mink

穿長褸耐看的男人，香港代表人物只能想起周潤發一個，《英雄本色》後，一切長褸統一稱為「Mark哥褸」。縱然不是每個人都像周潤發那樣高大，但「一寸長一寸強」，長褸，始終能夠彰顯氣勢。以韓國品牌Wooyoungmi 的駝色大褸為例，簡單俐落又容易配襯；Bally的絨毛領子、Hermès的千島格紋雙扣設計、Gucci的紅白巨型直紋都是抵禦寒流的上乘選擇。Prada與藝術家James Jean合作的漫畫圖案長褸，讓大男孩走入科幻世界之餘，還勝在夠薄身，適合乍暖還寒的日子穿上。 Hong Kong icon Chow Yun-fat wore a long coat nicely as Mark in the 1986 blockbuster A Better Tomorrow, and that style of coat has been known as “Brother Mark’s coat” for decades since. Even if you’re not as tall and suave as Chow, length still matters. A long coat enhances one’s stature by shaping an imposing figure. Great examples include: Korean brand Wooyoungmi’s camel-coloured coat, which is simple and easy to match with anything; Bally’s felt collar; Hermès’s

houndstooth double-breasted design, and Gucci’s red-andwhite oversized vertical stripes. Are all great choices for the winter months. At the same time, Prada’s collaboration with artist James Jean has yielded a comic-pattern long coat, which can bring out the little boy in any man. However, this coat is somewhat lightweight, so it’s best suited for days that are cool but not supremely cold.

Oversized hooded coat $3,586 (farfetch.com)

阿部千登勢擅長layering，因此秋冬往往比春夏精彩刺激。秋冬系列主題是「Cut up」，在品牌與生俱來的剪碎與解剖中作出新嘗試，把拼貼思維由布料伸延到衣服款式，比方在綠色尼龍MA-1軍褸內，僭建一層灰絨西裝的前幅，以兩幅布扮西裝layering，幾可亂真。 Cut up是品牌拿手好戲，這次大量衣服支解後重組，其中一件外套，輪廓是一件中長度軍褸，主體是白色毛毛，衣袖是碳灰色人字絨，帽子lining是藍色絲絨，餘下的衫身圍邊piping，就是軍綠色斜布，亂中卻有序。 Abe is an expert in layering. Thus, the Fall/Winter collection is often more exciting than the Spring/Summer one. This Fall/Winter collection’s theme is “Cut Up”, which attempts to translate Sacai’s signature mix-and-match style

Checked cotton-flannel shirt US$455 (mrporter.com)

in a new way, extending the concept from the fabric to the style. For example, Abe has incorporated a grey velvet suit panel into a green nylon MA-1 military jacket — a clever use of two contrasting fabrics. “Cut Up” is a signature display of the brand. This time, a large number of pieces have been dissected and reconstructed. One example is a mediumlength military jacket with white fur. The sleeves contain a charcoal grey herringbone pattern, while the piping around the coat is a military green cloth, which ties the whole project to the military motif.

牌風格。創立品牌接近二十年，阿部千登勢的 silhouette從不規範自己。或者，因為官方配搭攻略欠奉，反而容許客人發揮天馬行空的配搭小宇宙。某程度上，這是一種極民主的設計哲學，沒有對與錯，只要自己喜歡便可，相比起講求完美搭配的total look，似乎這才是時裝的現在與未來。 The jacket is the focus of the collection, a collaboration with North Force. Since the jacket appears to focus on functionality, it does not seem too creative. If not for the Sacai logo,

Abe’s signature style would be absent from this piece. Since founding the brand nearly 20 years ago, Abe has never limited herself. She is always pushing the envelope, for there is no right or wrong in design. In contrast to the most perfectionist “total look” philosophy, Abe’s creativity has great appeal.

月之魔法

Moon Magic 倫敦著名整容醫生Dr. Yannis Alexandrides

以月亮周期為概念，研發了一個為期28日的換膚療程。 London’s renowned Harley Street cosmetic surgeon Dr. Yannis Alexandrides formulates a 28-day skin renewal program that mimics the cycle of the moon. text | Leslie Yip photos | Simon Boucher-Harris

這個為期4星期的療程以一個月相周期的時間令肌膚重現光澤。 This four-week program is designed to transform your skin between the wax and wane of the moon.

2 1 3

第一周：酵素撫平精華 Week 1: Enzymatic Resurfacing Serum

第二周：中強度亮膚 Week 2: Moderate Brightening Treatment

第三周：高效亮膚 Week 3: Intensive Brightening Treatment

以高濃度活性Exfolactive EL去除死皮，並以 Allantoin舒緩、撫平及保養肌膚。療程第三天，男同事說我看起來容光煥發，問我最近是否睡得很好。

以高濃度的retinoid等亮白成分集中擊退黑斑、收細毛孔及減淡細紋。我感覺到皮膚一天比一天光亮，尤其是那次當我要出席節日派對而塗上粉底時，發現肌膚幼滑亮麗得有近乎真人版美圖後的效果！

以透明質酸鎖住水分，強化亮白效果。期間我需要兩天內來回到溫哥華公幹，行程雖然緊密，皮膚竟然絲毫未見疲態。

A highly-active concentrate of Exfolactive EL gently peels the skin, combined with Allantoin to soothe and protect whilst helping to resurface the complexion. On Day 3, a male colleague casually mentions that I must be sleeping well, as I look radiant.

The beginning of the illuminating process. High levels of a unique retinoid and a cocktail of brightening actives work in harmony to target age spots, minimize pores and clear away fine lines. I do think that my skin is looking brighter every day, but it’s not until I put foundation on one evening — I was attending a holiday party — that I found my skin looking so smooth and luminous. It seemed photo-shopped in real life!

Scents Mugler似乎對A字情有獨鍾，1992年推出香水Angel，此後踏上他的香氛之旅。粉藍色的星形瓶身，蘊含巧克力甜香的Angel在當時的香水市場絕對是突破傳統之作，然而那時的市場是以八十年代的華麗香水為王道。相比Opium、Obsession及Shalimar，Angel絕非主流。惟其甜品般的香氣開闢了一個全新的香水類別，現今稱為美食調。 Mugler seems to have an affinity for the letter “A”. His fragrance odyssey began with the launch of Angel in 1992. The baby blue star-shaped bvottle with the chocolatey scent was a pioneer — the market then was dominated by the grand perfumes of the ’80s. Compared to Opium, Obsession and Shalimar, Angel was an outlier. Indeed, the dessertlike concoction sparked the creation of a new fragrance category, now known as Gourmand.

男士版本的Angel於4年後面世。A*Men繼續以巧克力為基調，糅合焦糖、咖啡、雲呢拿及蜜糖成就美食調的誕生，甫推出便熱賣，受歡迎程度跟女士版不相伯仲。 13年後的2005年，Mugler為大家帶來Alien香水，充滿神秘感的紫晶瓶身，盛載矜貴的茉莉花香。每1公升香氛要用上800萬朵雙瓣茉莉花才能製作出來，花香濃郁豐饒，難怪能觸動女士們的心靈。再過了13年，Mugler今年又為大家帶來驚喜。最新作品名為 Aura，名字同樣以A為字首，但瓶身設計靈感卻來自另一個字母。 Mugler娓娓道出他的靈感來源：「我一直尋找一個可代表所有生物的象徵，展現生命中野性又神秘的力量，這M字的心形香水瓶是最佳代表。M comme Aime (意謂：M就是愛) ！這是生命中的魔幻

01• AURA Eau de Parfum分別有90、50及 30ml可再添加噴霧瓶裝。亦提供保濕乳液及沐浴乳。 AURA Eau de Parfum comes in 90, 50 and 30ml refillable sprays. A body lotion and shower milk is also available. 02• 適逢Angel面世25周年，Mugler跟La Maison du Chocolate合作，以香水為靈感設計出一系列4款的巧克力。 On the 25th anniversary of the launch of Angel, Mugler teamed up with La Maison du Chocolate to develop a collection of four chocolates inspired by its scent. 03• Thierry Mugler為慶祝Alien面世10周年，推出瓶身形狀像護身符的特別版香水。 Thierry Mugler celebrates 10 years of the “Alien” fragrance with a talisman bottle.

核心，只要能感受當中的魔力，肯定會迷倒。」香氣和諧地結合了東方、植物及肉慾元素。虎蔓代表「躍動的心」、大黃葉及橙花代表「植物的心」、而香草及狼萴則代表「動物之心」。瓶身設計亦是藝術結晶。幾何形狀及多面切割的造型，據說是

Thierry Mugler的主意，綠寶石般的玻璃心形瓶身猶如雕塑藝術品，而金屬製的M字及閃亮效果令設計更添夢幻。 A men’s version of Angel was introduced four years later. A*Men was still based on the scent of chocolate, with caramel, coffee, vanilla and honey added to the pot. Just like its female counterpart, it was an instant success. Thirteen years later, in 2005, Mugler gave us Alien, a precious jasmine held in an other-wordly amethyst glass bottle. Eight million sambac jasmine flowers are required to create one kilogram of absolute, and its boldness invaded many women’s hearts. Another 13 years have since passed, and Mugler is on the move again. This time, it is called Aura, again beginning in A, but the design of the bottle is based on another letter of the alphabet. “I looked for a universal symbol common to all living things,” Thierry Mugler muses. “The animalistic and mystic power of life. This M-shaped heart imposed itself. M comme Aime! The magic heart of life. You need only feel its magic to become magnetic.” The scent is a masterful orchestration of oriental, botanical and

carnal elements. It features tiger liana as “the beating heart”, rhubarb leaf and orange blossom as “the botanical heart”, bourbon vanilla and wolfwood as “the animal heart”. The bottle design resembles a work of art. The geometrical silhouette and faceted profile is said to have been proposed by Mugler himself, and the eventual chiselled emerald glass heart is artist-sculpted. The metal “M” and luminous finish give it a surreal presence.

The Jewel Tone craze text | Livian Wu

太單調的色調使人感覺沉悶，如能增添時尚色彩，頓時令家居空間變得與眾不同。今年寶石色調大熱，設計師Jane Lockhart建議把不同寶石色調混合使用，創造出豐富的空間感。 Monotonous colours result in humdrum living spaces, but by adding some trendy colours, an immediate transformation can occur. Jewel tones are the craze this year. Designer Jane Lockart suggests mixing different jewel tones to create a rich space.

Seafood aficionados can visit their exposed raw seafood bar to sample the kusshi oysters, uni toast, Nova Scotia lobster or Dungeness crab. A definite must-try is their Hokkaido scallops from the Surf & Turf section of the menu. Veggie lovers should sample their charred broccolini, roasted mushrooms or creamed kale. There is definitely something for everyone in Victor’s finely balanced

Margaux 2015 Unforgettable text | Ivan Wong

波爾多釀酒巨匠Paul Pontallier雖不是酒莊主人，但卻是人所共知的Château Margaux代表人物。打從上世紀八十年代加入Château Margaux以來，在他手底下釀造過不知多少個世紀年份極品，如 1986、2000、2005或是2010，但叫人永遠懷念的，就必然是他的臨別之作：2015。 Although Bordeaux winemaker Paul Pontallier didn’t own it, he was the face of Château Margaux. Joining the winery in 1983, he created numerous exquisite vintages. Those of 1986, 2000, 2005 and 2010 are unforgettable. However, his legacy vintage is 2015 — one we will never forget.

Paul Pontallier於1983年承蒙「恩師」Émile Peynaud引薦加入Margaux後，直至去世之時，其釀酒之心可說從未離開過 Margaux。

被列為二級歷史建築物物的The Milestone酒店剛獲認可舉行民事儀式，最適合進行傳統英式風格及要求體面禮遇的活動。酒店位處肯辛頓宮和花園正對面，絕對是在倫敦舉行婚宴及希望一賭哈利王子和梅根馬克爾大婚遊行風采的最佳位置。

Originally the building’s chapel, the Oratory houses eight and is London’s most intimate historic wedding venue.

03 以高貴及浪漫的維多利亞式設計的Windsor Suite，是舉行華麗婚禮的不二之選。

The elegant and romantic Victorian magnificence of the Windsor Suite lends itself superbly to beautiful wedding celebrations.

04 Prince Albert Suite以維多利亞女皇丈夫的名字命名，陽台外可飽覽肯辛頓花園的美景。

Having just been licensed for civil ceremonies, the historic Grade II Listed Milestone Hotel & Residences provides the perfect venue for an intimate celebration with traditional British style and unrivalled service. Situated directly opposite Kensington Palace and Gardens, wedding parties and royal watchers will have one of the best spots in London to view the royal wedding procession on Prince Harry and Meghan’s wedding day.

Named after the husband of Queen Victoria, the Prince Albert Suite offers views of Kensington Gardens from the balcony.

05 The Milestone酒店的下午茶榮獲2016及2017年的「最值得推介下午茶大獎」，可於酒店內的Cheneston’ s餐廳、Park Lounge 以及Conservatory 品嘗。

Milestone’s Afternoon Tea Service captured the highly commended Afternoon Tea Awards in 2016 and 2017. It is served in Cheneston’s Restaurant, the Park Lounge or the Conservatory.

06 酒店體貼地設有招待寵物服務，隨主人入住的寵物更會獲贈零食及玩具禮物籃、「請勿打擾/寵物休息中」通知卡，以及備有幾款特別訂造的寵物床以供選擇。酒店亦設有寵物照顧、散步及美容服務。

Even the royal Corgis will feel at home with the hotel’s pet services. Furry guests receive a welcome hamper with treats and toys, a “Do Not Disturb/Pet Sleeping” card and a choice of custom-made pet bed. Dog-sitting, walking and grooming services are also offered.

The experience ends with a localized shoulder and spinal herbal compress containing lemongrass, turmeric and plai. For the record, the new spa studio comprises four private rooms and offers a range of express treatments, from facials to waxings, to foot, shoulder and head messages. The hotel says the concept is “ideal for guests who want to make the most of their time.”

我更有機會在酒店的烹飪學校，學習烹調傳統的泰國美食。課程由名廚親授，為住客講解泰式烹飪藝術及各種材料的重要性。 I spend mornings eating exotic fruits and freshly-baked breads and pastry on the hotel’s Riverside Terrace, while watching massive barges and small longtail boats jockey for space on the murky, reed-filled Chao Phraya River.

— and a new shopping mall is currently under construction across the river from the hotel, which will soon be offering lots of high-end designer shops for guests to explore. Siam Paragon, Bangkok’s high-end shopping centre, is just a quick cab or tuk-tuk ride from the Oriental. The city’s Skytrain, which makes stops at all the main shopping districts, is also just a short walk from the hotel.

In the evenings, I have several fine-dining options: Lord Jim’s, a seafood restaurant featuring the freshest of fish and seafood with neon night views of the river; Le Normandie, a French restaurant whose classic gourmet offerings – with a Thai twist – would not look out of place in Paris; and Sala Rim Naam, a themed room on the same side of the river as the spa, which features Thai specialties that you eat while enjoying a traditional show with costumed dancers.

Elite Car Stelvio外觀造型非常吸引，筆者尤其喜歡其車頭設計及家族化鬼面罩，絕對能突圍而出，抓住你的目光。以中價定位的SUV來說，Stelvio在內裝方面稍嫌簡單，不過簡約中帶優雅。它沒有Audi或BMW的活潑，卻舒適自在，備有平底方向盤，而引擎開關按鈕則置於方向盤的左方。我們試駕的型號加入多項附加設備，包括Harman Kardon高級音響系統($1,200)、雙窗格天窗($1,595)、擁有電動運動座椅及20吋輪圈等的sport package運動套裝($2,500) 。

Stelvio的車廂載物空間十分寬敞，放下後排座位後為1,677公升，平時則為525公升。Stelvio的拖力則為1,361 kg (3,000 磅) 。安全性能方面，它配置前方碰撞預警系統(Forward Collision Warning)、車距控制巡航系統(Adaptive Cruise Control)、盲點偵測系統(Blind Spot Monitoring)、後輪橫向行駛識別器(Rear Cross Path detection)及前、後泊車輔助感應器。由於經銷商數量有限，Alfa Romeo的Stelvio在市場上屬於少眾車款。不過我們十分歡迎Stelvio加入中型跨界SUV的戰場，亦肯定它會吸引買家們的垂青。 Inside, the look is rather basic for a vehicle in its price class.

環顧現今智能腕錶主場，豈只是「雨後春筍」所能形容？大家都在找特色、找賣點、找一條別與不同的新血路；Android wear是自由開放平台，惹來一眾時尚品牌搶一杯羹。當中，只有 Armani有膽識又有實力請來被《時代》雜誌選為「最具影響力青少年」的加拿大萬人迷Shawn Mendes，擔當旗下智能錶的形象大使。 Smart watches are a dime a dozen these days, so much so that brands have to find a point of difference to set themselves apart.
