Lily Lee 自小已經是時裝精，曾修讀時裝設計，並夢想成為時裝設計師，致力宣揚 「飯可以不吃，衣服不可以不買」 的精神。 近年由藝人轉型為Fashionista，在網上撰寫時裝專欄，同時身兼網上節目 《谷乜Trend》 監制及主持，分享時尚及美容資訊。 Born with an eye for fashion and style, becoming a fashion designer was always Lily’s dream.

Now that she’s a fashionista, not only does she have her own styling blog, but she also directs and hosts the reality show Music Live Valley, where fashion and beauty trends are explored.

Lynn Hung

色澤仿如豬肝的紅色晚裝，本來已經顯得老氣，加 上設計保守又密實，下身ruffle更猶如水母般，楊冪 穿上即時顯得老了十多年，是失手的選擇。

樂基兒這Maje長裙看似簡單，其實很具挑戰性， 一來啡紅色容易映襯得皮膚暗啞，況且裙的質料黐 身，稍為肥些也會好顯眼，樂基兒算是穿得不錯， 配以一頭波浪髮型，甚有格調。

中門大開的設計不是人人都可穿得好看，首要條 件需胸型美觀，身材比例均勻。熊黛林穿這Solace London開胸晚裝裙，性感得來又不覺太刻意，腰間 以黑色腰帶點綴，看上去更覺修長。

This intense red evening gown is old-fashioned, and the ruffled bottom makes Yang Mi look like a jellyfish and 10 years older. It’ s definitely a poor choice for her.

The Maje maxi that Gaile Lock is wearing looks simple, but it is actually quite challenging. First, the reddish brown colour can make the model’s skin colour appear dull, and the overall look can be rather matronly. Also, the material clings to the body, which can accentuate any extra pounds. Here, Gaile wears it well, especially with her stylish wavy hair.

A plunging neckline does not suit everyone. First, the breasts have to be perfectly shaped, and the overall body shape has to be well-balanced.

Here, Lynn Hung’s Solace London evening gown looks sexy, but not too contrived. The black belt is also a nice touch, providing more length to the look.

Kathy這Tory Burch長裙跟她很是相襯，一來是皮膚 夠白，顯得白裏透紅，加上性感的低胸露肩設計， 很有女人味。

花裙很易讓人顯得老氣，但Gigi這Needle & Thread款式洋溢青春少女味道，領位細緻美觀，配 以網狀Ankle Boots，充滿潮味。加上粉紅色頭髮， 額外搶眼。

Dresses with large floral patterns can be challenging. Here, Huang Cuiru’s Blugirl maxi dress is full of retro flair, with a high collar and long sleeves. Huang looks like a sweet doll with her ’70s makeup and hairstyle.

Kathy Chow’s Tory Burch maxi dress suits her well. Her fair skin contrasts well with the red of the dress, and the sexy low-cut sleeveless design is particularly feminine.

Floral dresses can make the model look overly mature. But this Needle & Thread dress worn by Gigi Leung looks youthful and lively. Further, the collar is delicate and pretty. Matched with ankle boots and an eye-catching pink hair style, Gigi looks quite attractive.

Sexy model Kate Upton is known for her ample breasts. Here, they may not initially seem that obvious, but on second look, their full effect is evident under the breast pads.

Famous model Tyra Banks wears a jumpsuit reminiscent of the black style of the ’60s and ’70s. Even though it is a simple black-and-white colour scheme, the peacock feather pattern is quite eye-catching.

Multi-talented 千 手 女 神

Goddess text | KiHa styling | Lucas Tang photo | Killy Sung hair | Carrie Cammy @ Queen's Private i makeup | Kayte Fung

女神，不知從何時開始，從天上落入凡間，舉目皆是。 女神圈會汰弱留強，漂亮之餘，有實力有韌力又勤力的，將更能持久 地發光發亮，像倪晨曦，她就是跑耐力賽的一種。 從社交平台到真人騷，論美貌講美容、勤力周圍飛講旅遊，還擠出時 間教瑜伽，周身刀張張利，最近更自組工作室盤算更多企劃。這位女 神可能是有千對手的。 It’s unclear when goddesses began descending to Earth.

Goddesses have to play the survival game too. Those with the right look, coupled with talent, perseverance and work ethic, will endure.

Actress Elva Ni is one such individual. She’s in it for the long run.

From social media to live shows, she expresses beauty through her good looks. She flies around the world to talk about travel and she still has time to spare to teach yoga. She’s a jack-of-all-trades and a master of all. She is also setting up workshops for more ventures. She must be a goddess with a thousand arms.

IG分享有界線 倪 晨 曦（ E l v a ）有 I G 女 神 之 名 ， 4 9 萬 多 的 followers，YouTube頻道幾年間亦衝破500餘萬瀏 覽，早前她參演了ViuTV的《全職媽媽放大假》，於 節目中的表現又pure又true，盡得觀眾歡心。 Elva視女神之名如浮雲，重視的反而是自己 的做事原則。「女神是讚賞，表示大家都鍾意你， 是很正面的事。好感恩大家對我包容性都好大， 但我不會因這個稱謂而覺得可以走捷徑，做事始 終都要問心無愧。」 在網上出post分享個人生活吸like已像呼吸一 樣平常不過，有原則的Elva卻覺得有些事要留有 隱私空間，「談我的興趣愛好可以，卻不喜歡將私 生活、另一半公開。」30歲的她說。

Drawing a line in Instagram sharing Elva is hailed as an Instagram goddess with a legion of 490,000 followers. Her YouTube channel has chalked up more than half a million views. She appeared in ViuTV’s Full Time Mommy Holidays and came across as pure and true, winning her viewers’ hearts.

To Elva, the goddess label is transient. She values her principles more.

“The goddess description is a compliment,” she concedes. “It shows that I’m well-liked. It’s a good thing. I’m thankful that everyone is so accommodating of me. I won’t take shortcuts because of this label. Ultimately, I have to answer to myself.”

Posting online to garner “likes” is as routine as breathing these days. Principled Elva feels that some things need to be kept private.

“It’s all right to talk about my interests, but I don’t like to share my private life, or my other half,” says the 30-year-old actress.

COVER STORY

為KOL抱不平 網絡紅人受網民唾棄也時有發生。Elva說：「在網上發 文要真誠，網民會感到那是否真實。是廣告的話，便會寫明 白。」但她亦為KOL不時受攻擊抱不平，「有時見到有些KOL 或者youtuber好有心思，很是有趣，但同時亦會有好多人 踩，我覺得圈子內可以多些互相支持和鼓勵。」 Elva更新IG相當密手，一日一post是基本，有時人在旅 途中更會連環貼相，「有時post一張相，可能是拍了30至50 張才揀到，旁人見到覺得好簡單，甚至不以為然，其實每張 圖片背後也要講意念，預備道具，搵角度，搵景等等。還要 身兼數職，自己做片又要學識剪片，並不是想像中那樣簡 單，要建立到一定支持度實在需要放時間和心機。」

Speaking up for KOLs Even searing hot bloggers get dissed occasionally. Elva puts it this way: “Postings online should be sincere. People who read them know if it’s genuine. If it’s advertising, it should be stated as such.”

But she speaks up for key opinion leaders (KOLs) who are under attack, saying: “Sometimes there are creative KOLs or YouTubers who are interesting, but many people dislike them. I think this circle needs more mutual support and encouragement.”

Elva updates IG regularly. One post a day is basic. When she’s on trips, she will make serial posts.

“Sometimes the picture I post is picked from 30 or 50 shots. Outsiders may think it’s simple and don’t think much of it. In fact, every picture has a concept behind it. You need

to prepare props, find the angle, locate the backdrop and so forth. We have to multi-task too to shoot and edit videos. It’s not as simple as one might think. It takes time and thinking to build a certain level of support.”

COVER STORY

隨遇而安的幸運 Elva出生於盛產美女的蘇州， 之後全家移民加拿大，在多倫多大 學主修經濟，2006年曾經參加國 際華裔小姐，輾轉十年發展，反而 乘網絡興起而闖出一片天，比很多 選美出身、還在公仔箱等機會的， 她的確幸運。「最初很想演戲，但 當時自己好害羞，就算好努力，有 機會時又發揮不到，曾經迷失過， 因為不了解自己。」

Born in Suzhou, China, her family subsequently emigrated to Canada.

Elva majored in economics at the University of Toronto before moving to Hong Kong, where she participated in the Miss Chinese International Pageant in 2006.

After a decade or so, she has found

後來她接了一些往外地的工 作，同時在IG分享遊歷，「開始有 人搵我做關於旅遊的工作，本身又 好鍾意，逐漸愈做愈多。開始時沒 特別計劃向這方面發展，但隨遇而 安，每次有機會都會100％畀心機 去做。我並沒定立甚麼大目標，覺 得努力耕耘總會有得著，反而提醒 自己不要太執着，有時很多反應都 在控制範圍之外。」或許就是這樂 觀正面態度，令Elva發揮吸引力法 則的力量。

The fortune of going with the flow

herself a niche in the cyber world instead.

She is more fortunate than many beauty queen aspirants who are still waiting for showbiz opportunities to knock.

“I wanted to act at first, but I was rather shy then. Even if I worked hard, I couldn’t do my best when the time came. I was lost because I didn’t know myself.”

She took on some jobs overseas later, and shared her travel experience on IG. “Some people began to offer me travel-related jobs. I liked that kind of job too, and was taking on more and more.

I didn’t set out to go down this direction, but I went with the flow. I put in 100 per cent with every opportunity.

“I didn’t set lofty goals. I think there will be gains as long as I work hard. I reminded myself not to take it too seriously, as a lot of responses are often beyond our control.”

KOL當下大行其道，Elva算是在最佳時機發圍，卻 也不是沒想過終有一天潮流會過。「潮流可能會變，但我 覺得核心價值是長遠的，KOL是人家成就你，自己也要 增值和學習，並不是因為你要紅或是流行才去做，這樣 會很沒意思。」 Elva說自己行動力高，腦內一有想法就會付諸行 動，早前就成立個人工作室。「始終一個人能力有限，想 建立一個團隊，可以再製作多些影片，同時很想建立自 己website，把所有個人喜好：扮靚化妝、旅行、瑜伽等 都放進一個平台，再好好組織起來。」她又計劃出新書， 傳播正面想法。「想講關於正能量，就如《心靈雞湯》般； 又或是有關瑜伽、冥想、甚至是生活小建議那些會有 做yoga、做meditation一些心得，或者係生活小建議那 些。」 With such positive energy, she is living proof of the law of attraction.

KOLs are in vogue, and Elva appears to have embarked on it at the right time. But that doesn’t mean she hasn’t contemplated the possibility that the fad may pass one day.

“Fads will change, but I think the core value will last.

KOLs are made by others. But we have to upgrade ourselves and keep learning. You shouldn’t do it because you are a hit or it’s a trend. That will be rather meaningless.”

Elva says she’s a doer. As soon as an idea comes up, she will make it happen. She has set up personal workshops, for example.

“There is only so much one person can do,” she says. “I want to set up a team and make more videos. I also want to build my own website and organize nicely on a single platform all my interests, in beauty, travel and yoga.”

COVER STORY

結婚未有期 Elva的家人都在多倫多，她一年至少回 家一次。 「最初自己在香港工作都會很思鄉， 到後來香港真的成了自己另一個家，尤其每 次外遊回到香港那刻，以及剛拿到香港身份 證，特別有歸屬感。」 她不時會放上姨甥女合照，加上之前拍 《全職媽媽放大假》又同小朋友打成一片，女 神會否恨做媽媽？「拍節目前以為湊小朋友 很輕鬆容易，但原來好累。我享受和小朋友 相處，但又會很矛盾，很難想象自己生小朋 友。況且生BB之前要先結婚，我此刻又未想 過結婚，我向來也不擅於計劃，所以也不知 何時才會結婚。」 She says she also plans to publish books to share positive thinking because “I want to talk about positive energy, like the ‘Chicken Soup’ series, or perhaps something about yoga, meditation, or tips for life and so forth.”

Marriage not yet on the agenda Elva’s family is in Toronto and she comes home at least once a year.

“When I first worked in Hong Kong, I missed home a lot. When Hong Kong became my other home, I felt a sense of belonging, especially when I returned to Hong Kong after a trip, or when I first collected my Hong Kong identity card.”

She posts pictures with her niece from time to time, and she had a ball with children when filming Full Time Mommy Holidays. Is our goddess yearning to be a mother?

“Before filming for the show, I thought taking care of children was a piece of Print coat $2,645 (moschino.com) Khaki green dress Both from Moschino Stuart Weitzman The Rugged bootie $825 (stuartweitzman.ca) Bottega Veneta earrings

cake, but it is in fact very tiring. I enjoy the company of children, but on the other hand, it’s difficult to imagine having children myself.

“What’s more, before having a baby, there has to be a marriage. I haven’t thought about marriage yet, and I’m never good at planning, so I don’t know when I will get married.”

珍 珠 之 源

The origin of pearls 早於1893年，Mikimoto創辦人御木本幸吉先生成功培育出世 界上第一顆養殖天然珍珠，除了為「養珠」定立嚴格監測準則，包括 珍珠光澤、光滑度、形狀、色澤及尺寸，成為國際認受品質外，更 開發日本專屬的Akoya淡粉紅珍珠，打破珍珠只有成熟的一面。近 年品牌致力為珍珠珠寶注入年輕元素，如Coral系列和A World of Creativity系列，配合鑲嵌鑽石，以細膩活潑方式展示大自然之美。 In 1893, Mikimoto Kokichi gave rise to the world’s first cultured pearls. Since then, the Mikimoto name has set the international standards for cultured pearls in terms of lustre, surface quality, shape and nacre. He also laid claim to inventing Japan’s special Akoya light pink pearls, and cast sophisticated pearls in a different light.

In recent years, a touch of youthfulness has been added to diamond-adorned pearl jewelry in its Coral and A World of Creativity collections to vibrantly depict the magnificence of nature.

哥倫比亞浪人Haider Ackermann得到LVMH招手，接替Alessandro Sartori出任Berluti創意總監，於今年一月的FW17男裝周一鳴驚人！ 相比起前任Alessandro Sartori塑造的摩登公子，Haider Ackermann不 羈風格依然。他從Berluti招牌的Patina古法染色技術借鏡，再借用暗黑大 師畫家Francis Bacon的色調，放入他最拿手的閃爍布料，構成只此一家的 魅力。整個系列最搶眼的，是那件粉紅色parka風褸，粉紅色satin跟parka 二合為一，原來驚人地美豔。 不羈浪子以男人最無法抗拒的軍裝形象出場。在他手上，MA-1 bomber jacket上半部由尼龍換成satin，下半部玩布料拼貼，採用做西裝用 的高級羊毛布。這種將傳統男裝改頭換面的小心思，比過往的大刀闊斧， 更容易叫好叫座。 LVMH tasked Haider Ackermann with this challenge when it appointed him creative director of Berluti in September 2016. His debut collection with the brand came at the 2017 Fall/Winter Men’s Fashion Week in January and it was incredibly impressive!

His predecessor, Alessandro Sartori, created Berluti’s house style, but Ackermann has been able to incorporate his wild style into it.

He has referenced Berluti’s signature Patina dyeing technique and Francis Bacon’s favourite colour tone, combining both in his favourite shiny fabric to create a unique fashion line.

The catchiest piece is the pink parka jacket. Incorporating pink satin into the parka has created a stunning piece of fashion.

He has injected his wild style into the irresistible military line. Under his directorship, the upper part of the MA-1 bomber jacket was changed from nylon to satin, and the lower part became luxury wool, traditionally seen in blazers.

Balencia White Triple S sneakers $TBD

When it comes to athletic shoes, Balenciaga’s Triple-S trainers have to be the ugliest — in a fashionable way. Added to the deliberately aged and blunt exterior, featuring mesh, calfskin leather and suede, is a three-layer sole. The shoe immediately became the talk of the town when it was introduced in January at menswear’s Fall/Winter Fashion Week.

Other designers have also jumped on the “ugly shoe” bandwagon. Prada continues its ugly chic look this season with a slow-looking sneaker that combines a mesh top, rubber and a climbing rope. Comme de Garcons Homme Plus and Nike’s collaborative Air Force 1 features a play-dough-like plastic mold at the tip.

Fendi and Big Bang introduced the “Fendi for Young Bae” Series, which has a tag with Young-Bae’s name on the back of the shoe. Versace’s shiny silver sneaker has a Vibram bottom, Camper uses an oddly shaped bottom which is eye-catching in red and black, and Dior Hommes features strapped high-tops.

Hermès’ leather high tops, Tod’s dotted shoes and Ermenegildo Zegna’s patchwork white sneakers are also very fashionable.Valentino has added straps on the shoe top, with an alternative version in dark green with rivets.

Givenchy adds removable fur to the shoe, while Both Schoenen brushes on a layer of rubber on half of the shoe top. Saint Laurent adds a safety pin to its white canvas shoe and the writing “Smoking Forever”. Gucci’s signature Ace white sneaker allows the customer to add different embroidery and patches.

透過多種材料為天花製造層次感，如利用 石膏塗層及天花框架創建深度； 再以手繪裝飾 把燈具藏於天花內 部，形成的反射光 源，別有一番情調。 Ceiling light fixtures can create a special atmosphere.

加以點綴，典雅大方；然後把LED燈條融入天 花裝置，營造美麗效果。利用特製的彩繪瓷磚 及大型徽章來襯托水晶吊燈，更能增強整個空 間的視覺效果。 By using multiple materials, such as plaster and frames to create textures, and adding handpainted decorations, this layered look is graceful

and elegant. One can create an even more beautiful effect with the addition of LED lights.

Further, adding painted tiles and an oversized seal to decorate the crystal chandelier creates a strong visual effect.

ConTeMporary WhiTe CeiLing 當 代 白 天 花

天花以白色石膏板或磚瓦作 裝飾，能調和整體感覺。 Use white plasterboard or tiles as decorations to create a harmonious look.

要營造現代風格，為天花設計簡單的磚 瓦圖案，可讓空間變得生氣勃勃。設計師建 議選用白色來保持時代感，而且簡潔的線條 易於跟室內其他物件配搭和諧。 To create a modern look, consider simple tile patterns on the ceiling. The designer suggests using white to impart a contemporary look. The clean lines also match easily with the other objects in the room.

daMask WaLLpaper 大馬士革牆紙

大馬士革是一種著名的圖案，通常以絲、麻或

棉編織而成，形態飽滿優雅，近看紋路精緻細膩、 遠觀大方得體，因而深受歡迎。這種牆紙獨立使用 時美觀耐看，與其他裝飾組合起來，則能突出立體 層次。

The Damask print is a famous pattern usually woven

from silk, hemp or cotton. With a full and elegant shape, the print shows delicate and detailed lines close up and looks graceful and sophisticated from afar. This type of wallpaper is very popular. Used alone, the wallpaper is beautiful and inviting. Combined with other decorations, it provides a textured look.

大馬士革圖案奢華大氣，是歐式家居風格中常見的元素。 This Damask print, popular in European homes, is grand and luxurious.
