aving the courage to build the best life for your family is something that Manuel Bernaschek holds in his heart. From humble beginnings, he is a man who has been willing to do what it took to create a rewarding and purposeful life for his family. It was through hard work and perseverance, he built himself up from a sales associate in a music store to the well-traveled purveyor of some of the most desired brands in the world. His entrepreneurial instinct was piqued when customers seeking pianos began asking about the Italian-made Fazioli. After securing an investor to bring the brand to Vancouver, Bernaschek traveled to Italy to meet with the company's founder Paolo Fazioli, where his tenacity paid off and a deal was struck.

SHOWCASE PIANOS IS BORN Together with his wife J udy, he launched Showcase Pianos. Within the month they had sold their first Fazioli. Not that sales came easily, though; it took hard work and diligence. Remarking on a story about the Shangri- La Hotel, he says, ?I wanted a Fazioli in that hotel, so I set about contacting the management, but they wouldn?t take my calls.? After what he claims was over 80 unreturned calls, emails and personal visits (often with chocolates in hand), he finally got through to the owner of the hotel. Since then, the hotel group has purchased many Fazioli?s, and Showcase Pianos is recognized as the top-selling Fazioli dealers in the world, which also sells its fair share of excellent European brands like Seiler, Grotrian, and C. Bechstein.
Bernaschek explains his success with a modest grin: ?Since we founded Showcase Pianos in 2007, we have sold well over 100 Fazioli pianos ? which is the most costly line of pianos in the world. Through it, we have met some of the most amazing people in town, many of which would continue to do more business with me if they had the need, but most don?t need more than one or two pianos.? DISCOVERING STEFANO RICCI Some years ago, during a trip to Italy to visit the Fazioli factory, Bernaschek happened across a hotel window display showcasing neckties made by Stefano Ricci. ?I saw this hand-pleated tie and fell in love with it. So, with my wife, I walked in and bought one. It was about 400 euros at the time.? He made it a point to return to Stefano Ricci stores each time he was in Italy, and eventually, he elected to seek the Ricci family out.

Bernaschek planned to adopt a similar strategy to Fazioli, eager to be the first to bring a quality Italian brand to the Vancouver market. The Ricci?s made him work for it, however, offering him the right to open a store if he agreed to carry the entire line. After a handshake deal with an investment partner went awry, Bernaschek opened his eagle head-adorned storefront with his new partners, the Ricci?s themselves. ?Stefano Ricci has the strictest standards for every aspect of the operation, which I find very impressive. I got to appreciate this more through a few experiences before we opened the store. For example, the head office sent out their top visual merchandizing expert from Italy to come to our store to place all the items in their perfect position. But, the gentleman would not leave the store until he had first sent the photos to Mr. Ricci himself, who was waiting to examine them before giving his approval. Mr. Ricci wrote back saying that he could see a wrinkle in one of the shirts displayed in one of the main windows!? Opening Stefano Ricci was a strategic business move by Bernaschek. When asked about the reasoning behind taking such a significant risk on taking on the responsibility of a second luxury brand, Bernaschek reflected.
12
?I thought that it would help to have another brand that was equally exclusive and luxurious but was at a lower price point than a $150,000 piano. The Stefano Ricci brand is very exclusive and ultra-high quality. I see a great amount of cross over between the two businesses.? He further explains, ?? that people don?t mind paying a higher price for something that has some clearly identifiable superiority to other products. In the case of both Fazioli and Stefano Ricci, it is immediately apparent that higher quality materials and workmanship were involved in their production.? In his private office in the Stefano Ricci boutique, Bernaschek recalls the struggles. ?It isn?t easy, you know. People think, look at him, the high roller. They don?t know how tough it is to make this work. They don?t always understand the life of an entrepreneur.?

hen you step away from the busyness of West Hastings into KAPADE, you enter into an atmosphere devoid of the mood-setting music and chatter typical of most retail spaces. Instead, you find yourself enveloped by calm and carefulness; all crafted by owner Vaneesha Advani. The displayed clothing and accessories play into this theme. Each chosen with care and diligence that reflects the attention to detail that Advani brings to all aspects of her professional career. As a professional woman, Advani has amassed a wealth of experience from working in the fashion industry. Since studying fashion design at the prestigious Parsons School of Design in New York, she has spent time working in Vancouver, Montreal, and Eindhoven, the Netherlands, while consistently showing at international fashion weeks. Her family has kept her motivated along the way, especially her brother Ramesh J ai Gulabrai, who was recently awarded the best feature film at the Cannes International Pan Af rican Film Festival.
16
He acts as a source of creative inspiration and shares her commitment to constant self-improvement. "We both inspire one another?we both are in creative fields. The reason I am able to go on, despite some bumps on the road, is because of my brother Ramesh, and my father. They have always believed in me. I would say we are relentless; we don't stop." Advani's collection, Designs by Sonia was inspired by her travels throughout West Af rica, specifically her birthplace of Ghana. She sourced large glass beads from this region and crafted her creations in her workshop in Eindhoven. Her line currently features other eclectic materials, like burnt wood, linen ribbons, and Japanese yarns.

eces," Advani shares, king to stand-out amongst tment to uniqueness and message that has garnered pe and J apan and icon Iris Apf el.
In November 2018, Advani opened KAPADE on a whim. "I was browsing through the internet and came across the website which had local retail spaces for rent. I just got curious and started to look at them. Not knowing I would get into retail, and to make a long story short, before I knew it I had a space, and once I had a space, I made a commitment," she remarks with a shy smile. The usually daunting process of acquiring labels for a new venture did not materialize for Advani. Her vast connections throughout the industry made the choice of designers for the store simple because, with many, she has developed trust through personal relationships. This knowledge allowed her to ensure quality in workmanship and materials in her collections. Her mindset towards buying echoes this. "I believe in buying clothes which are timeless; I focus on fabrics, shapes, and colours?I am not wild on prints," she remarks, then laughs. "In the end, it is about my clients; I want them to feel good in them." 18 18
Labels currently stocked at KAPADE include the traditionally adventurous Ablesia, handcrafted bags by Mutsaers, multi-functional dresses by Elementum, unique screen-printed jewelry by Uli Rapp, USA-based Nrk Style, and footwear by Spain's Petrucha Studio. This diverse selection attracts a particular type of customer, according to Advani. She finds worldly and progressive women wearing these clothes, and sees that they take inspiration from theatre, the arts and politics much like herself. Advani takes care not to define her patrons by age but emphasizes the timeless looks that well-dressed women can style and own. The result of this is boutique meant for women to create enduring and versatile head-to-toe looks all from one place.

hen your true home is in the sky, it is difficult to imagine life without the vast horizon as your backdrop. With a steaming Nespresso in hand, I lean back on the deck of the Tuscan-inspired villa, my experience heightened by a pair of swallows swooping against a cloudless sky. This weekend is defined by solitude and my ?home away from home?is the Villa Eyrie Resort. Situated atop the Malahat Range, Villa Eyrie is a leisurely thirty-minute drive from Victoria. This 40-room resort overlooks Finlayson Arm on the southern end of the Saanich Inlet with spectacular unobstructed views of the entire lower half of the island and the Olympic Mountains beyond. On this morning, my idyllic view changes occasionally as pleasure boats leave behind frothy trails of white foam. ALL PATHS LEAD TO VILLA EYRIE At an altitude of 1,156-feet, Villa Eyrie features a heart-achingly beautiful view which is visible from every aspect of the property where it sits, staggered along a sloping mountainside. The focal point is Villa Principale which houses the Alpina Restaurant, a languid mineral pool, and luxury suites. Minutes away by foot or driver, are three luxury villas (Cielo, Aquila, and Vista), the Tuscan Spa, a tented ampitheatre for special events, a helicopter pad, and convenient additional parking. Guests will notice that the resort property is very natural in appearance. The take-away from my arrival ?walk and talk,?with Alexander Fischer- J ean, the property?s Hotel General Manager, is that the resort philosophy is to employ a gentler approach to groundskeeping. They eschew the traditional desire to tame and groom nature, and in its place, allow native flora to thrive with appropriate grooming as needed.

A peaceful early morning walk around the property is filled with only the sounds of nature. As I stroll along the curb-less paved roads, there are long plumes of wild grass on both sides. All around are an abundance of white and yellow wildflowers blanketing the rocky terrain, bunches of blooming prickly thistle, and broad-trunked Arbutus standing stoic amidst their cast-off bark. The scene is serene. Moving away from the main buildings and onto hiking trails, the forest thickens with towering pine and spruce. The rocky ground is thick with shrubbery, from which small birds chirp. In the distance, a pair of deer graze calmly, and on a nearby rocky outcropping, a garter snake slows to glance my way before slinking off. It is the beginning of a brilliant day. AERIE REBORN AS VILLA EYRIE After a 9-year closure and $2M+ in renovations, the Aerie Resort became Villa Eyrie. The new name is a nod to the nesting grounds of the majestic eagles which soar overhead as they hunt between the water and the mountain summit. Villa Eyrie Resort is the first hotel in British Columbia and Canada?s second, to be accepted into the elite Small Luxury Hotels of the World collection of independently operated hotels. The resort joins 520+ four-star and five-star properties which are held to the highest possible quality standards. According to Fischer-Jean, the resort is a perfect fit for the prestigious collection. ?Our guests appreciate staying in a breathtaking setting in the heart of Lower Vancouver Island.?

On the patio of the award-winning Alpina Restaurant, Ryan Bissell (Araxi, Uli?s, Beast and Brine) joins me as I pop the top of a Ruby Rose Sea Cider from Mount Vernon. This semi-sweet cider is named for the merciless Rosa Rugosa?an invasive plant that threatens many coastal regions. Proceeds from the ?Canadian Invasion?cider line are used to combat this plant in sensitive ecological areas. As the Director of Food & Beverage at Villa Eyrie, Bissell is responsible for making the decisions that have led the resort in creating a foundation in sustainability and the sourcing of locally produced ingredients. He proudly shares with me the 'family' 36 relationship that the resort has with the farms and vineyards within the Cowichan Valley and throughout the island. Mere steps from the kitchen, a herb garden flourishes with rows of edible blooms that inspire inventive dishes with the freshest of flavours and the most beautiful presentations. Explore Culinary
CULINARY EXCELLENCE The Alpina Restaurant is helmed by a trio of culinary leaders including the Michelin- trained Executive Chef Mario Gross, Pastry Chef Matthias Conradi, and Executive Sous Chef Andreas Wechselberger. These three share a Germanic heritage and given the spectacular mountaintop location, it was only natural for the menu to reflect this. 36 36
The ?Alpine Cuisine?reaps accolades, and online reviews are flush with diners voicing the excellence of their experiences. Reflecting upon the alpine cuisine theme, Sommelier Sonja Todd has curated a 2,000-bottle cellar which was shaped over three months. Todd chose to develop the most extensive selection from British Columbia?s best wineries, with representation from every growing region. Explore Cocktails
37
Included are Unsworth and Averill Creek from the burgeoning Cowichan Valley, the Okanagan Valley (Summerhill, Cedar Creek, Mission Hill), and Similkameen Valley (Hester Creek, Burrowing Owl, Le Vieux Pin). The wines were chosen, not only for taste but also for exclusivity. Two strict criteria ensured that each was to be among the best depiction of its respective winery and that no bottle was easily found in traditional retail outlet. The selection includes a limited assortment of wines from the sub-alpine regions of Austria, France, Italy, and Germany encourages guests to compare the local New World wines with those of the Old. RELAX IN THE TREETOPS Taking inspiration from a dream of living La Dolce Vita, the Lake Como styling of the villas merges Italian architecture with contemporary interiors. Whether staying at the Villa Principale or in the six-suite private

penthouse at Villa Cielo higher up the mountain, guests can be assured of all the luxuries associated with an opulent resort stay. With sustainability at the forefront of the luxury accommodation industry, Villa Eyrie is continuously working to reduce their carbon footprint. The recognition and eco-centric nature of the west coast, led the resort to launch with dramatically reduced waste generation (energy, water, food, plastics), including the recent conversion from miniature amenities bottles to a dispenser system with a scent-neutral vegan and cruelty-free product from LATHER. 38 The choice of this certified vegan and cruelty-free brand, along with the option of non-down bed linens, provides comfort to those seeking refuge at a resort that is inclusive in its offerings. Private balconies, soaker tubs, fireplaces, and the plushest pillow-top mattresses, reward those who venture up the mountain to this gem of a resort.

Villa Eyrie is also within minutes of top activities: whale watching trips originating from the picturesque fishing village of Cowichan Bay, sea kayaking the quiet waters of Mill Bay, mountain biking and ziplining through the lush forests, and exploring the abundant lakes, waterfalls, and caves. As the sun set on the last day of my visit, I stepped into one final bubble bath, slid deep into the soaker tub, and disappeared into a blanket of lavender scented bubbles. A chilled glass of Fitzpatrick?s Gewurztraminer and a trio of house-made sorbet is within reach. Over my left shoulder is an unbelievable 270-degree view of the majestic mountainside, and over my right is a big-screen television catching me up on the latest entertainment news. It is my last night in paradise, and after three days of self-care at Villa Eyrie Resort, my computer has yet to be booted, but my spirit has been replenished. 40 40

CHEF'S OF AL PI NA Alpina Restaurant at the Villa Eyrie Resort has garnered its share of acclaim from visitors thanks to its exquisite culinary fare and picturesque mountain top location. Drawing from the bountiful fare of the Saanich Inlet region, the inspiration from its menu comes from a different source via two Chefs from across the Atlantic. Executive Chef Mario Gross and Executive Pastry Chef Matthias Conradi bring their Germanic heritage to the table in their unique west coast alpine cuisine.
44 44

EXECUTIVE CHEF MARIO GROSS Chef Gross brought a wealth of experience to Alpina when he accepted the role to lead the restaurant. As an apprentice, he built his skill set at the Michelin-starred Relais & Chateaux and Der Alpenholf in the Black Forest and Munich respectively. A three-year stint at the one-star Wine & Taf elhous in the Mosel region saw him earn his first Head Chef position, a testament to his work ethic and talent. ?My experience from Europe is that you have to go slow, step by step,? he says, remembering his days learning in a competitive environment where other head chef hopefuls were eager to rise straight to the top.
With an employment offer that would require leaving Germany and his beloved horse, Chef Gross moved with his then wife-to-be to a new and frigid environment: Edmonton, Alberta. Adjusting 46 to his new home meant new challenges, like learning English, but also presented the opportunity to continue his development at the renowned Hardware Grill under owner Chef Larry Stewart. It was a referral from a colleague that led to him to consider and accept his first Executive Chef role at luxury BC resort Villa Eyrie.

The stalwart chef has since become acclimatized to his surroundings and his dynamic loyal new team. ?They are following me into the fire,? he remarks, thankful for their willingness to bring a cuisine uncommon to the region and adapt it to the landscape of the resort. My first evening at Villa Eyrie, I joined general manager Alexander Fischer- J ean for dinner. Together we enjoyed an amuse bouche with walnut meat, house-basked crisp breads, and the lead dish from the newly launched Fall/ Winter menu?a Zucchini Spaghetti?inspired by a personal recipe of Fischer-Jean?s wife, artfully recreated by Chef Gross. The dish is prepared with a grillato sauce, baby gem tomatoes, Italian chickpea fries, and a stimulating level of fresh garlic. Lovers of the heady bulb will not be disappointed with this fresh gluten-free take on such a time-honoured pasta. With herbs plucked from a greenhouse, mere steps from the kitchen, the aroma of the dish was intoxicating.

EXECUTIVE PASTRY CHEF MATTHIAS CONRADI Conradi brings a well-honed skill set from training around the world. After working in Germany, Abu Dhabi, and Switzerland he flourished at several reputable restaurants on Vancouver Island. He developed his craft in Tof ino at the Wikaninnish Inn under Chef Rodney Butters before launching and operating the Patissier Conradi for three years. Most recently he was a member of the culinary team at the Sooke Harbour House, renowned for their farm-to-table food service.
Throughout this journey, Chef Conradi worked to perfect the baking of fresh buns and bread like his signature sourdough rye bread, a staple of Alpina?s German-inspired cuisine. His philosophy towards baking often challenges shape and form, and he is known to deconstruct and re- assemble dishes using unorthodox methods. An avid sketcher, he regularly develops elegant drawings of his recipes before making them and often looks to the natural bounty around him as inspiration. His ample, yet judicious, application of edible flowers and herb blooms, creates visually stunning dishes.

After an early morning wake-up, I challenged the in-room Nespresso machine to brew a cup of coffee strong enough to wake me?a solid two hours before my usual. On the balcony of my suite above the Tuscan Spa, I watched a pair of swallows swoop as they caught breakfast for the chicks that were discreetly tucked under the eaves. I sipped in solitude, slowly shaking off the fresh-air sleepiness, and anticipating the first meal of the day. Sufficiently caffeinated and appropriately dressed, the driver delivered me and my appetite to Villa Principale. After a refreshing mimosa, an array of warm plates appeared accompanied by Chef Conradi, who took great delight in presenting a morning repast that pushed physical boundaries with a bounty of plantbased ingredients?a majority sourced locally from the Cowichan Valley. The cornmeal waffles were crunchy on the outside, wonderfully chewy in the centre and were accompanied by a spicy maple syrup and a trio of toppings: housemade agave granola, dark chocolate ganache, and field berry compote. À la carte sides of delicately sliced fruit, grilled red peppers, and crispy herbed potatoes brought a desired savoury element to the table.
52
The following morning Chef Conradi presented plantbased granola pancakes topped by a slice of coconut milk and vanilla bean panna cotta; creatively repurposed from my previous evening?s dinner. As we spoke, he shared his pleasure to have created a dish that would be enjoyed a second time?a sustainable dessert! The hearty pancakes were sweetened with maple syrup, and the toppings were again stellar: chili-glazed cherries, a tart berry puree, sugar-coated blueberries, and another which was devoured before making it to the pancakes?possibly sweet-pickled shredded apple and radish.

The new menu?s alpine identity is so wonderfully intertwined with the essence of the Island and its abundance that it creates a genuinely unique dining experience. This fall, Villa Eyrie Resort is indeed bringing a new perspective to west coast dining, not on in the award-winning Alpina Restaurant with a non-alcoholic menu of hand-crafted cocktails, but as the Island's preferred venue for weddings, special events, and corporate retreats.

here is a societal movement afoot which has cocktail lovers leaning away from their usual thirst-quenching favourites and towards a kinder, gentler approach to imbibing. As odd as it sounds, they are drinking without 'drinking.'
Ensuring that the beverages they developed would be just as good or better than those with alcohol was essential for Bissell, "we have many guests that are expecting little packages of joy," he says, citing the expectations that the beautiful location brings.
As the resort prepares to launch the Senna Lounge, Villa Eyrie Resort has already factored in this shift. General Manager of Food and Beverage Ryan Bissell tapped into his personal and years experience in the industry to develop a non- alcoholic menu suitable for a resort on the top of the mountain.
Villa Eyrie provides non-alcoholic options for an audience that may not desire an alcoholic drink, whether for health, pregnancy, religion, or any other reason. "There are a lot of people, like me, that are choosing not to drink anymore," remarks Bissell.

Alpina's bartender Kyle utilizes the Seedlip Drinks line to devise non-alcoholic versions of familiar cocktails and to create new ones that do not exist purely for mimicry.
Green Chartreuse, Grand Marnier, pours it into a Nick & Nora glass après an Absinthe rinse, and tops it with a floating basil leaf adorned with spheres of strawberry, basil, and a crank of black pepper.
Known as one of the world?s first non-alcoholic spirits brands, the UK's Seedlip company distills bases that are free of sugar and artificial ingredients. Instead, the drinks created lean on quality botanically sourced flavours. Its newest offering, the Seedlip Grove 42 blends accents of lemongrass, ginger, and J apanese Sansho peppercorns with citrus-forward notes of orange and mandarin, to create a fresh and delicious base for many creative cocktails.
After sampling six hand-crafted cocktails by Kyle, three with and three without alcohol, I came to the conclusion that pairing the peppery Grand Basil above with a fresh fruit and sorbet plate from the talent of Chef Mattias Conradi. Cheers!

Juno Kim X HAKU VODKA
The House of Suntory and Vancouver chef, caterer, and food stylist J uno Kim teamed up to create a vegan recipe using their newly released Japanese craft Haku Vodka. Kim added his personal touch to the vodka pasta sauce to give it East Asian flavours with tons of umami and flavour coming from the miso, tamari, gochujang, and nutritional yeast. Suntory is a Japanese craft vodka from the founding House of Suntory Whisky, created with 100% Japanese white rice and bamboo followed by charcoal filtration. The bottle is adorned with a kanji for Haku means means white but the subtlety of the Japanese language often gives kanji several readings. This particular kanji also can read as shiro which means 'white.' If it is read as haku, it is intentionally rooted and elevated, like this dish.

In fact, his primary business interests lie in sales and marketing, e-commerce, and real estate investment. His path to 13C was indirect, the result of every wine collectors nightmare. When an electrical failure destroyed his wine collection in 2010, Malcolm began searching for off-site storage that would be accessible 24-hours a day and found such a facility did not exist in Vancouver.
64
Sensing a new business opportunity, Malcolm began to tour various facilities around North America, noting the best features of each, and working with mechanical engineers to design a climate?control system. In 2010, he invested in a 2-storey building, gutted it, and over the next two years insulated the walls and ceilings to create ?a very large refrigerated box,? which he would transform into 13C. The facility has an industrial-chic aesthetic. It is situated below ground level and houses a series of 500-square-foot zones ? each with a digitally controlled thermostat and cooling unit which holds at a constant temperature of 13°C. There is no natural light and the humidity level, maintained between 65-75 percent, is delivered via an ultrasonic mist which auto-dispenses as conditions require. While wine storage is the main service 13C offers, collectors who store wine 64 there benefit from an added perk. Before reaching the lockers through the front entrance, there is a tasting room, set at standard room temperature.

It is comfortably furnished with an extensive library of wine books, and a beautiful wooden table made f rom reclaimed Douglas f ir. Members may enjoy the room at no extra cost by merely booking it ahead of time. With each locker individually bolted and alarmed, members hold the only keys to their treasures. Lockers are constructed of rough- hewn tongue- and- groove pine and birch with a highly lacquered f inish. Black metal deadbolts are the single contrasting colour, and the overall ef f ect is one of a striking geometric art installation. The lockers include custom racking, f rom the eight- case starter up to a 275- case room equivalent to a generous walk- in closet. The mid- range sizes hold 16, 24, 32, 48, and 96 cases. For those who pref er to remain anonymous, the option of pulling into sub- ground private parking behind the building gives them the f reedom to enter and leave?with those at street level none the wiser. As we roll into fall, Malcolm is at a bit of a crossroads with 13C. The facility has long been operating at capacity and as the waiting list continues to grow, he ponders the possibility of expansion and what investment would look like. Until then, we are quite sure Drew Malcolm will ponder the next phase of 13C with a glass of his favourite vintage in hand. 66 66

nside Leisure Center Vancouver?s slick and intricately decorated showroom, a lively crowd gathered for the introduction of a line from one of the world?s most imitated but often least recognized fashion designers.
Small is in Vancouver to introduce his 2020 collection, which includes the Super 210 Arcadia, a suit fabric made of almost unbelievably fine yarns (210 per every millimetre to be exact), which are rare to find in the industry.
Geof f rey B Small may not be a household name on the West Coast, but his international reputation for creating what he calls the ?best in the world when it comes to advanced high-end clothing? precedes him.
?It is an extraordinary, different category,? says Small, who has visited Vancouver twice from Italy to introduce his collections.
Small is known for showing more collections in Paris than any other American designer. His journey has led him across the world from producing a massively successful shirt design in his home of Newton, Mass., to moving his company to Cavarzere, Italy to be closer to the world?s greatest producers of clothing. However, one thing has remained constant throughout this journey: his commitment to quality.
72
The fabric is sourced from the oldest woolen mill still in operation worldwide, in Piacenza, Italy. Leisure Center will be the first North American retailer to carry it. This is a notable distinction for the store, even more so when considering that Small?s brand only works with 20 retailers worldwide. 72
?We like to think that we work with the best retailers in the world when it comes to advanced and high-end clothing,? he says. ?Mason and MuYun are spearheading a very important movement in the North American market.?
72 72
Body
The Super 210 Arcadia complements Leisure Center?s other offerings for the brand, which include eclectic pieces like intricately printed silk shirts, a tailored French- style work jacket and a three-piece leisure set that drapes over the body with a waist-cinching belt. These offerings show Small?s influences and history as a designer, a career that began after a massively successful design for a white shirt led him to take his first collection to Paris in 1992. After developing his brand by creating handmade recycled clothing in Boston, he moved to the Veneto region of Italy to produce his designs. He continued to
74
experiment with Napoleonic, Medieval, and other avant- garde designs, all handmade, and giving respect to the principles of ecologically sustainable design. One of the most remarkable aspects of Small?s design is his commitment to fabrics that are as 74 handmade as possible. He refers to his collection recently shown at Paris Fashion Week as ?Technically the highest handmade component percentage in the industry.? He eschews the use of autonomous machines, and has voiced his ambition to develop a stand-alone, 100% handmade collection. The skilled workers who are able to provide these
y text
materials are especially important to his vision, and he is working to distance the brand from the image of low-cost labour that is so typical of global fashion brands. ?These are serious jobs in a serious economy,? he says, ?there is a customer that is able and willing to pay the necessary price to support that kind of skilled work.?
However, as he continues to promote the rejuvenation of these skills, he admits that his brand will remain relatively small, as he has no ambition to be like the juggernauts of global high fashion. He defines their ?brand? of luxury as a sort of old-fashioned variety, representing ?the creation and service at a high level of human excellence.?
This commitment to quality places certain limitations on Small?s brand. Demand often outpaces supply as certain pieces are released in runs of only dozens of pieces and the number of skilled craftspeople able to produce at a high quality is decreasing year over year.
?There are very few retailers pursuing the pathway,? he concludes. Small promises a different way of viewing where luxury clothes come from, and surely this earns him the recognition of being a true pioneer of sustainable, quality design. 74 74

'Elegance & M ot or car Weeken d Presented by the GAIN Group Shawnigan Lake School 1975 Renf rew Road, Shawnigan Lake August 25, 2019 78 78
T
he inaugural Vancouver Island Concours d?Elegance by the GAIN Group, was held on a splendidly sunny day at the Shawnigan Lake School. 250 vehicles, many of them rare, antique, and in mint condition, were on display on two playing fields at the School. It was an amazing sight, chrome and impeccable paint burnished by the sun. The centre of attention was the judging of the Concours entries. An international calibre panel of judges, some from such far away places as Florida and California, and several of whom had judged at the Pebble Beach Concours the previous weekend, were on hand. J udge J im Thomas of Florida said the competition was extremely impressive, especially given this was the inaugural year.
Cindy Mui and the GAIN team ensured a well-organized, full attention to detail affair. Sponsor tents lined the upper level field, including The Agency, David Foster Foundation, and the Cowichan Valley Hospital Foundation. Both Foundations received some of the over $185,000 raised over the day. Other sponsors included Aurange J ewellery, Stefano Ricci, among many, many others who displayed a truly generous sense of community. The winning car was a magnificent 1954 Bentley Continental R. It is one of one ever built, and owned by David Cohen. The judges were nearly unanimous, although the field was studded with fabulous entries. Judge Thomas said, at a dinner at Villa Eyrie's Alpina restaurant held that evening, that the future is bright for the Vancouver Island Concours d?Elegance. 80

or many in Vancouver, the day that J uly turns into August signals a pursuit for the perfect all-white outfit. Even if it is only worn once in the year, it is well worth the effort for The Social Concierge?s DĂŽner en Blanc celebration. The 2019 edition was held in the gorgeous sun on the 8th day of the 8th month in False Creek?s George Wainburn Park, on 2.5 hectares of greenery ituated between a tranquil harbour and the glass cityscape. Over 3,500 revelers arrived just before 6 pm via the seawall and on shuttle buses from all over the Lower Mainland. Part of the appeal of the event comes from its secret location, only revealed to its guests an hour beforehand. Residents of the leafy and vibrant West End had no idea that their colourful neighbourhood was about to be invaded, and pedestrians and tourists alike looked surprised as crowds clad in white ambled by with carts and picnic baskets. The impressive scale of the event makes it hard to believe that it started in Paris nearly 30 years ago with Le DĂŽner en Blanc de Paris welcoming over 10,000 guests yearly. In 2013 a record number of 15,000 people attended the 25th-anniversary celebration.

THE ORIGIN OF DINER EN BLANC In 1988, on a warm summer night half-way around the world, a group of friends decided to meet underneath the Eif f el Tower for a reunion picnic. It was decided that the chicest way to distinguish themselves from throngs of tourists and native Parisians, was to wear all-white, leading to a memorable evening that has become an annual epicurean gathering. Though it started small, it has grown internationally with over 70 cities participating in such far-flung locations as Auckland, Copenhagen, Dakar, Haiti, Puerto Rico, and Sao Paolo. It arrived in Vancouver in 2012, and in 2018, founder François Pasquier and his wife, and members of the DÎner en Blanc organization attended the event at the incredible VanDusen Botanical Gardens. Canada is home to over a dozen events nationwide, and you can also dine in white in Whistler and Victoria every year. THE NAPKINS ARE WAVED Once all guests were settled in and had captured memories at various photo activation sites furnished by corporate sponsors De Beers J ewellery, National Bank, Concord Pacif ic, and Mile's End Motors, host Tyson Villeneuve graciously welcomed all and prompted the ceremonial napkin wave to signal the official beginning of the evening.

azz music and gorgeously restored vintage cars greeted the attendees of the first annual Ruben?s Open at the Morgan Creek Golf Course on July 18th. Guests had been invited to step back in time to the 1930s and came out swinging in their Bagger Vance-inspired best. The manicured greens were awash in bright plaid trousers, checkerboard knee socks, flapper dresses, feathered fascinators, and long strings of creamy pearls. Although the previous day?s downpour had revelers concerned, the morning of Ruben?s Open saw azure blue skies with a shining sun and a cool breeze, making for near-perfect conditions on the greens. Throughout the day, golfers played and grazed hole-to-hole while sampling delicious eats from Cactus Club and The Wooden Spoon. Rocco?s Deli generously provided all with a takeaway gift of their organic tomato pasta sauce. As a Tee gift, golfers received a custom-tailored dress shirt from Indochino and a copy of BC Business Magazine?s Top 100 Edition.

Spirits were elevated with a tasting of Monkey Shoulder Whiskey (Convergent Planning Group) and a unique ritualistic cocktail created with Cocalero Clasico Herbal Liqueur (Chad & Co Mortgages). With TD Canada Candy Bags in hand, players enjoyed a respite in the Cutler 1920?s-themed lounge, where they captured the moment in memorable vintage-themed photographs by Magik Moments. At a hole dedicated to Ruben?s Shoes and its mission, everyone was encouraged to shuck their shoes and
94
shoot barefoot with vintage golf clubs. The hole was a 3-part challenge: Closest to the Pin (KP), Best Shot for the Longest Drive, and the $25,000 Hole-in-One prize. Although everyone gave it their best in the friendly competition, there was no victor, and those that tried can seek consolation in knowing that there is always next year. 94
With a full round of golf under their belts, participants made their way to the clubhouse patio to enjoy the evening with cocktails, jazz with the J ennif er Hershman Trio, and a gala dinner presented by ONNI Group.
Ruben?s Shoes' founder Kelly Strongitharm then delivered a powerful speech ending in a standing ovation, and the rest of the evening was energetic as guests bid on live auction items including a private dinner with Michael Varga (Chopped Canada Winner, MasterChef finalist), a luxurious weekend stay The Big White House Retreat on Galiano Island and more.

n late July 2019, the 58-foot restored racing yacht christened as Maiden sailed into Coal Harbour before being docked in North Vancouver. The last time that this vessel was so far from its home docks of Hamble, United Kingdom was thirty years ago, when it gained widespread acclaim for being the first yacht to be sailed around the world by an all female-crew. Skipper Terry Edwards and her glass ceiling-shattering team competed in the 1989/ 90 Whitbread Round the World Yacht Race (Now called the Ocean Race), finishing second in their class and silencing their harshest critics. This inspiring story of courage and perseverance has been captured in a documentary film MAIDEN which tells the story of Edwards, a 24-year-old former cook on charter boats, who became skipper of the crew in 1989 after remortgaging her home and purchasing Maiden secondhand and restoring it. Edwards dream was opposed on all sides: her male competitors thought the crew would never make it, the chauvinistic yachting press took bets on her failure, and potential sponsors rejected her, fearing that the women would die at sea and generate bad publicity.

In November 2018, after being sold, then discovered abandoned in the Seychelles, and refurbished a second time, Maiden left Hamble docks again. This time, it was on a new mission to raise awareness and funds for girls? education around the globe through the Maiden Factor Foundation. Edwards and a rotating crew of international female sailors are passionate about their empowering message, supporting charities including I am A Girl, The Girls?Network, Orchid Project, and Room to Read. After sailing along the Western Australian coast, and stopping in Fremantle the following March, Maiden continued to Sydney, Auckland and then to Honolulu, where Vancouverite Theresa Reidl joined the crew.
While in Vancouver the crew had many opportunities to spread their message including an evening at the West Vancouver Yacht Club, meeting the Young Women of Sailing, and hosting an Of f icial Welcome Ceremony and Maiden Open Day where the public was invited onboard to meet and interact with the crew. The Maiden Factor World Tour will continue until May 2021. As their journey across the high seas continues, Edwards and the crew will use their story to help to spread the powerful message that every girl has not only the right to an education, but the ability to accomplish what seems impossible.

T
he Dominican Republic makes up half of the island of Hispaniola in the Caribbean. It is a vibrant and diverse country; the second largest in the region (after Cuba), and it is a place that a young woman named Ali Le Pierrès fell in love with during the summer of 2008. Volunteering for the DREAM Project, this young French-Canadian woman was embraced by a welcoming, warm-hearted community whose laughter, smiles, and dancing taught her a valuable lesson in happiness. Her fond memories of that summer inspired Ali to frequently return to the Dominican Republic to visit, volunteer, and eventually to teach at the International School of Sosua. Returning to Canada, she shared her experiences with her father Charles (president and co-founder of Canadian clothing line J udith & Charles). Charles had grown up a world away in France, but the more he learned about the Dominican, the more he recognized the struggles of the Dominican children were the same he had faced in his childhood, particularly the crushing weight of poverty.
10 8
Charles knew firsthand that poverty was not only a physical condition but one that breeds low self-esteem, robs children of potential, and darkens any hope for a successful future. When Charles learned to play sports, it did not solve these problems outright, but it gave him the tools self - conf idence, discipline, and a sense of his potential - to seize on the few opportunities given to him. Together, the Le Pierrès interest in helping grew from mutual experiences in the Dominican Republic and the respect they held for its peoples and cultures. In 2015, the father-daughter duo undertook the creation of Charlie's Foundation. A non-profit organization dedicated to expanding the educational and vocational opportunities of the Dominican youth. Together, Ali and Charles developed the program that 108 provides lessons in English and tennis and through this Foundation offered the opportunity and life skills these children so desperately needed.
108 108
10 9
The Foundation uses tennis as a method to achieve its goals, which is about more than just making the students have fun. It is the belief that the skills learned on the court - the discipline and commitment to improvement that truly translate into the classroom. Tennis instruction helps reinforce the day's language lessons in a fun and engaging environment that encourages youth to use conversational English.
In October 2018, the Le Pierrès joined forces with Perry Shak of RBC Wealth Management to host the Redef ine Success Gala where Arlene Dickinson (Dragon's Den, CEO of Venture Communications) was the guest speaker. The gala event, sponsored by Air Canada, J udith & Charles, and The Beat 92.5, saw over 350 attendees bring in more than $160,000 for Charlie's Foundation.
The additional attention to their cause has allowed the foundation to work towards their goals for the children of the Dominican Republic. "We are proud to know that proceeds will make a difference and empower the nation's youth by providing new opportunities and lift barriers to a brighter future," says Charles Le Pierrès.
