SANDS MACAU FASHION WEEK 2017


Interview by : Jose Chu

你知道SPITGAN 經常四處尋找我們身邊一切的時尚東東。我們已經留意澳門時裝好一段時間了!當知道澳門即將有屬於他們的時裝週時,我們當然不能放過!但當我們到達那冠冕堂皇的酒店時,卻發現這時裝週更像一個購物節活動。所有參與品牌和作品都是直接從店中抽取的。這對我們而言有點沉悶吧!不過那水上時裝表演的想法和表達是很吸引人的。不論如何我的腦中還是有很多疑問,很高興今次有機會興拉斯維加斯金莎集團的全球零售執行副總裁Mr. David Sylvester 有一段對話。

You know SPITGAN is always searching for interesting fashion tings around us. We have been pay a lot of attention to Macao fashion out of curiosity. When we found out they were going to have a Macao Fashion Week, we definitely had to cross the water to check it out! The Gala event really set things of with a bang with La Perla showing their SS18 collection to a group of VIP’s, and press from both Mainland China as well as HK. With Natasha Poly and Liu Wen walking the runway the star power was up! We were turnt for what was to come. The following 2 days held between the Parisien and The Venetian were a supreme letdown. This was a commercial fashion parade. All looks were sourced from participating retailers and targeted at customers. It was clever, and it’s intention to spike sales was hopefully achieved. For a fashion press though? This was nothing to write home about. Local designers were showcased with mannequins placed throughout the properties like an after thought. I will say the productions, especially the runways over the waterways looked cool. We had some questions of course and we are honored that David Sylvester, the executive vice president of global retails in Las Vegas Sands Corporation gave us the time and answers.

SPITGAN : 你好Mr. David Sylvester。 我想知道為什麼會有金莎澳門時裝週,你對此有沒有什麼期待及有達成嗎?
David Sylvester : 金莎澳門時裝週是慶祝所有在金莎購物中心能提供的一切一切。我們希望今次的活動能讓澳門成為一個焦點,証明它值得作為一個全球領先的奢侈品零售點。我們希望我們的的零售商、合作夥伴、時尚媒體及意見領袖繼續認可澳門為一個了不起的購物天堂。更希望每個人像我們一樣享受今次活動。今次一系列的時裝表演和活動吸引了來自不同地方最挑剔的時尚愛好者,包括中國、香港及東南亞的主要時尚媒體參與其中。當中亦有幾個巡遊和活動讓消費者去參與和享受。今次活動的成功標題著金莎澳門時獎週正式開幕。

MOTHER OF PEARL PRE-FALL 2017 WOMEN’S WEAR

今季 Pre fall2017 ,Mother of Pearl玩轉量感設計,利用寬繩結織帶打造出另人耳目一新的前衛單品。無論是與造型同色調或五彩繽紛的布帶和綢緞條帶,都能為現代簡約款式注入活力。立體裝飾細節的加入,使得D形環織帶、蝴蝶結變得更耀眼,而造型本身也在其點綴下變得更加實用,並富有休閑格調。

丹寧面料給了鐘形袖設計更多的可能,並賦予其有別於經典面料款的獨特美感。Mother of Pearl和Tanya Taylor鐘愛的毛邊設計正好與充滿女人味的鐘形袖形成鮮明對比。鐘形袖也是丹寧棱織襯衫和外套的今季關鍵設計元素。

SDK DANCE BATTLE 2017 HONG KONG PT.2

撰文/Article : Jose Chu

繼續第一部分的訪問 Interview continued from PT.1, July 14th, 2017 1:08PM>>

SPITGAN : 今次香港區既賽事你覺得香港既Dancer表現如何呢?
Travis Pang : 今次香港Final的香港Dancer表現都很好!其實香港有不少勁人隱藏系到。但我想建議香港的Dancer要多去Party!由其與世界各地不同地方的人jam下,我地叫Cipher,圍圈的練習,隨機出去跳舞!多去Party,比賽時就會更放!

S : 有無一隊香港的團隊你特別記得或者喜歡?
T : 有一隊有3個香港人,2個日本女仔的,都算香港隊吧哈哈!他們叫Ganbatte Ganbaru。因為他們的隊員的舞蹈種類很齊全,基本上我們有的style項目他們都有參加1 on 1 單人賽。他們的All Style是最齊整的,齊舞的部分也很深刻。雖然他們最後沒有勝出,但對我的印象卻很深。

S : 下一年再辦的時候你覺得有什麼要改善或者加大力度去做呢?
T : 第4屆最想改善就是場地控制、人流、入場管控,什至想再請更多有質素的嘉賓。其實每一年我們都有個目標比自己,不想翻炒評判!所以每年的評判都會是新鮮滾熱辣,年年不同!DJ方面我們都希望有更多新鮮感,可能換一換MC或者DJ!所以下一年最緊要個場地設定,遮陰遮太陽、避雨的地方都會加多點。什至我們希望舞台不止一個!讓Dancer上台比賽前可以有一個熱身的區域,當他們真正上台比賽時更加放膽更加投入!

SPITGAN : What did you feel about the Hong Kong dance performances in general?
Travis Pang : All Hong Kong dancers in the finals did a great job! I believe Hong Kong has many great dancers. Having said that, I do want to suggest to our Hong Kong dancers : join more parties, dance with people from everywhere! We call it a cipher (dancing in a circle), but go out dancing randomly! Play more, join more parties. It will help a dancer be more bold when they are in competitions and on stage!

S : Any Hong Kong team you really like or you feel has great potential?
T : I remember one team had three Hong Kong people and two Japanese girls. We can count it as Hong Kong team haha! They are called Ganbatte Ganbaru. They are still in my mind because their dance styles covered most of the categories of our games! I think they joined every dance style’s 1 on 1 battles. All their style performances were tight. Although they didn’t win, I still can remember them.

S : Anything you would like to improve or upgrade on the SDK ASIA 2018?
T : The fourth SDK, we will definitely want to improve the site control, and flow. Even invite more high quality guests. Every year we have a goal, we don’t want to having same judges. So you can see we having different judges everytime. The DJ too, we also want to have more of a novelty style, maybe we will change our MC and/or DJ. The most important part in the coming SDK must be the venue setting! We will add more places to cover people from the elements. Furthermore, we hope we can have another stage next time. It will help our dancers have a warm-up before they really go on stage and battle, this can help them more prepared and courageous!
