一月份,你將會經常看到她的面孔!
讓Hf為你介紹本月份的In The Spotlight女生──Elaine Kwok。
大約一年前,筆者與Elaine談起有關她剃頭的決定 ,聽著她描述那種剃掉煩惱絲的「爽」,不禁想像究竟自己剃光頭的話,會變成甚麼樣子;一年後我們終於見面,依舊skinhead的她後腦多了一個新紋身,她Instagram上的履歷亦隨著她與不同的人合作而變得豐富,看來這位土生土長的21歲香港女生在倫敦的模特兒事業發展得不錯呢!不過,閒談間Elaine提到,「模特兒不是最終的路」,她還有一個學期就從傳理系畢業,畢業後還是想到倫敦當地的獨立雜誌社見識見識。上月趁著她回港過聖誕,Hf便與Elaine拍了這個月的Monthly Wallpaper(還沒下載的趕快到這裏去),!Elaine還私底下向Hf 讀者推薦了一些心水的旅遊地點,包括她平時喝咖啡、吃飯(素食者注意!)、買衣服、出去玩的地方,大部分都是在倫敦,也有在紐約和莫斯科的推薦地點,一起看看吧!
Best place for daydreaming
The tube. There is no signal on the underground. It is where I get most of my mind-wandering done.
(地下鐵。倫敦的地下鐵沒有訊號,是我最常發白日夢的地方。)
Best place to spend a lazy afternoon
Nkora, a Japanese cafe in shoreditch.
Make sure you sit outside, it’s got a tranquil outdoor seating area.
(在倫敦東部肖迪奇區有間叫Nkora的日式咖啡店。記得要坐到外面去,因為那裡有個寧靜的露天雅座。)
Best place to shop for vintage clothing
Beacon’s Closet in New York, I got some of my favourites items in my wardrobe from there.
(紐約的古著店Beacon’s Closet。衣櫃裡最深愛的單品都是在這裡買的。)
Best place to get a tattoo
Pleasure (quirky Hand poked tattoos) and Old Habits (traditional style). I got my head tattoo done at Inkhouse London in Brixton though. Hit up @wheelz one of the most talented and humble lads out there!
(想要古怪獨特的手刺紋身可以去Pleasure,想要傳統風格的則可以去Old Habits;我頭頂上的紋身是在布里克斯頓區的紋身店Inkhouse London刺的,去找Wheelz吧,他是我遇過最棒的紋身師,為人有才又謙虛!)
Best place for a quick pick-me-up
Cheff in Hoxton! It’s a vegan cafe that serves the best matcha latte in town! No joke.
霍克斯頓(位於倫敦東部的一個藝術娛樂區,酒吧、畫廊於一身)的咖啡店Cheff!這是一間素食咖啡店,有著全城最好喝的綠茶拿鐵!我可不是在開玩笑呢。
Best place for some solitude
Go catch a film at the Barbican centre. Watching movies alone is so underrated. People should do it more often.
去巴比肯藝術中心看電影。人們太輕視獨自看電影這回事了,其實大家應該多點一個人去看電影。
Best place for sharing a meal with friends
Afghan in Angel. Ethnic nourishing vegan food! It’s a must go!
倫敦市中心北部天使區的Afghan。你能夠在那裡找到健康的素食佳餚!不可錯過!
Best place for drinks
I don’t drink. I’ve got a teahouse recommendation though. Tea House Theatre in Vauxhall is a former pub that is a tea room by day, a theatre by night. Their full English fry up is bomb!
我不喝酒,不過倒可以推薦一處喝茶的地方。倫敦市中心沃克斯霍爾區的Tea House Theatre由舊酒吧改建而成,日間是茶室,晚上是劇院。一定要試試他們的英式早餐,超好吃!
Best place to find interesting books
Artwords Bookshop. Visit if you want to be lost in a sea of books with the most intriguing covers.
去Artwords Bookshop,迷失在一望無際的書海之中吧,你可以在那裡找到有趣的好書。
Best place for romantic encounters
Anywhere but dating apps. It’s a scientific fact.
豔遇?任何地方都能找到,除了交友APP。科學早已證明了。
Best place for coffee
My mate Charlie makes the most comforting soya latte. The ratio (of coffee to soya milk) hit the mark every
time. But when she’s not around, this cafe called Nati’s on Priory near my crib in North London does the job.
好友Charlie所沖出的豆奶拿鐵最能讓人有滿足感,咖啡與豆奶的比例每次都是完美的。當她不在附近時我會到位於倫敦北部Priory區一間叫Nati’s的咖啡店,在我家附近,手藝不錯的。
Best place for architecture
I was stunned by the architecture in Moscow. Their train stations are works of art. It was mind-boggling how they transformed public areas into pieces of art, architecture in great finesse.
我被莫斯科的建築所震攝到了,那裡的火車站簡直是藝術品。他們將公共地方變成一件件鬼斧神工的藝術,叫人驚艷。
Best place to dip into the city’s culture
I feel like you could go anywhere really to soak up a city’s culture if you talk and interact with the people. You can learn so much from engaging in conversations with people that have entirely different backgrounds than you. That’s why I prefer to travel alone, it forces you to do that!
如果你想要「深度遊」,就要開口跟當地人搭訕。你會從一些跟你背景完全不同的人身上學到很多東西,這也是為甚麼我喜歡自己一個人去旅遊的原因,因為你不得不這樣做呢!
