Pitti Immagine掀意大利佛羅倫薩時尚文化之旅熱潮


佛羅倫薩 · 現代藝術與文化歷史交融的幻妙之旅
意大利佛羅倫薩是文藝復興時代文化藝術的源頭,它深厚的文化底蘊給予了意大利乃至全世界無限的光彩。佛羅倫薩全市有40所博物館及美術館,超過60所宮殿及教堂,古老的建築、經典的藝術品、珍貴的文物以及精美的壁畫,無一不在昭示15世紀文藝復興時代的榮光。同時,佛羅倫薩這個藝術搖籃中亦孕育出一個世界時尚潮流服飾的源頭,創立于1953年的Pitti Immagine是國際時尚界流行趨勢的指標性盛事,包括Pitti Uomo男裝展、Pitti W女裝預告系列時裝展、Pitti Bimbo童裝展以及Pitti Filati國際紗綫展,每一届盛會都吸引著全球一流時裝設計師及世界各地數以萬計的時尚買家前往,其舉辦的全球最大的Pitti Uomo意大利國際男裝展,象徵著國際男裝的最高水準,是世界一線品牌的必爭之地,亦是專業買手把握時尚脈搏的最理想之地。佛羅倫薩將歷史的輝煌及現代服飾藝術完美地結合在一起,已然成爲藝術、歷史、時尚的代名詞。如若身處佛羅倫薩,不僅可以參加時尚盛會,還可以在阿諾河旁慵懶地散步,在僻靜的學院美術館看大衛像的原作,去Salvatore Ferragamo總部Palazzo Feroni宮感受帶著濃厚文化氣息的時尚。

DT Asia Helps Asia Celebrate Aura With A Magical Launch


History was made at Thursday’s grand launch of “Aura by Swarovski, as DT Communications Asia Pacific (DT Asia) successfully organized a media event and cocktail party to celebrate the perfume’s official premiere in the region. The occasion featured a never-before-seen light show and the collection was brilliantly showcased with cutting-edge special effects in a dramatic unveiling ceremony.

“Aura by Swarovski” marks Clarins Fragrance Group and Swarovski’s first fragrance collaboration, and the two European brands, along with DT Asia, pulled out all the stops with a star-studded launch event attended by Mr. Christian Courtin-Clarins, Chairman of Clarins Group Supervisory Board.

The impressive highlight was the fantastic light show, beamed from
the venue to the building across the crowded Queensway street. The first of its kind in Asia, the spectacle of light featured the “Aura by Swarovski” video commercial, and captivated guests in a monumental gesture announcing the fragrance’s arrival in Asia’s fashion capital. This bold and innovative display reinforced the larger than life beauty and magic of the fragrance, as well as the tenacity of DT Asia’s production team.

Hundreds of guests, including more than 200 local and regional media from China, India, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and The Philippines, were also in attendance for the epic unveiling ceremony. The collection was revealed in a glorious fashion, with state-of-the-art special effects being employed. When the time came for the unveil, the atmosphere was intensified with lights descending on the stage, perfectly synchronized with smoke and music as guests were treated to the perfume line’s first appearance in the region.

In addition, the Swarovski dress, designed by the late, great Lee McQueen of the fashion house Alexander McQueen, enthralled fashion lovers with its unparalleled beauty and intricacy. Beauty enthusiasts were not left out, as they enjoyed the entire “Aura by Swarovski” collection, which was elegantly displayed on several fragrance bars strategically placed around the venue.

The sheer beauty of the venue also had party-goers singing non-stop praises. The perfect location to announce the Aura, the venue's unique architecture of majestic glass walls and waves-inspired ceiling played the perfect backdrop for the unveiling, artistically mirroring the inspiration for the perfume: pure light.  The venue was drenched in a brilliant pink light that bounced off the building’s curves into an enchanting dance, magically transforming the location into the mystical World of Swarovski.

General Manager of DT Asia, Ms. Alice Fok, said: “Months of hard work and dedication from Clarins Fragrance Group, Swarovski and the DT Asia team made this launch an incredible success. We are honoured that our distinguished guests had a fabulous time and we feel motivated to tackle similar challenges in the future.”

A Gift through Vision




Sheila Vance, the internationally renowned eyewear designer and founder of Sama Eyewear, works with her husband, Ross Vance, towards one simple goal – to help as many children as they can. inMAGAZINE talks to the designer about her eyewear and her views on life.


DESIGN ELEMENTS
Loved by many royal members and Hollywood celebrities like Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise and Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sama Eyewear designs the world’s finest luxury fashion eyewear. Sheila Vance’s specially designed sunglasses are featured in dozens of blockbuster Hollywood films including “The Hours”, “Mission: Impossible III”, and “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines”, and have helped build many iconic characters in Hollywood.

All eyewear collections of Sama are handmade in Japan with the highest quality materials and most advanced production techniques as the designs are complicated and need precise execution. The uniqueness of Sama eyewear lies upon its quality, in which one of their newest collections, ‘Heart of Gold’, uses 24-carat gold and 18-carat white gold frames with Swarovski crystals. The company is also introducing a new edition to their ultra-premium luxury diamond sunglasses collection, which is made of the finest diamonds with a high-quality jewellery setting. “Our eyewear is so distinct and unique, we do not need a logo to emphasise ourselves,” Vance smiles.


WOMEN VS MEN
Designing sunglasses for men and women should not be the same. Vance says designing for women has fewer limitations as women wear vast colour combinations from fuchsia to charcoal to peony; they also wear an abundance of elements from snakeskin to titanium to feminine elements like feathers and pearls. For men, she focuses on masculine shapes, elements and colour combinations with distinctive and bold features. Vance summarises her own designs in three words: romantic, hope and luxury.

Among other forms of accessories, why did Vance choose to specialise in eyewear design? From the moment she needed to wear prescription glasses, she decided she had to design fashionable eyewear. Vance believes eyewear is the must-have item in the world of fashion. “Eyeglasses finish the look!” she asserts. A pair of appropriate eyeglasses is an effective way to change a look. One can be younger, older, sexier or more mature with the right pair of glasses. For Vance, she has over 20 pairs of eyeglasses in her car, which allows her to easily create a new look for different occasions.

With her already successful designs, Vance’s proudest achievement so far is when she sees many celebrities and other influential VIPs wearing Sama among the countless other brands on the market. Vance routinely attends and organises fashion shows in major markets as Paris, New York, Dubai and Italy - her next step? “I am hoping to organise a runway show to properly show looks to the elite in Hong Kong.”

Volkswagen XL1 Concept

The Volkswagen XL1 Concept is the car of the future. It looks futuristic enough, with its lack of a rear view mirror and sleeky design, complete with hidden rear wheels. Heck, it even looks like the Jetsons' family car. But what truly makes it the car of the future isn't its fancy gulf wing doors or Bugatti-like body kit. What makes it the car of the future is its outrageously green mileage. With just 0.9 litres of diesel, the machine will take you a whole 100 kilometres. That's about 10 times the average car.



Remember that song that goes "girls don't like boys/ girls like cars and money"? Well usually this isn't true. Usually... This might be an exception though; sexy, functional and environmentally-friendly.
