<h3 class="wp-block-heading">From Farm to Cup: The Journey Every Father Will Appreciate</h3>



<p>Bacha Coffee sources exclusively from 35 reputable coffee-producing countries, selecting only 100% Arabica specialty grade. Each harvest carries the unmistakable fingerprint of its origin: terroir, altitude, rainfall, volcanic minerals, and the careful hands that processed it.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Then comes the essential part: slow-roasting in small batches using traditional drum-roasting methods at low temperatures. The result? A preservation of each origin’s distinct aromatic profile, so every sip stays true to where it began.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>And for dads who prefer gentler options, Bacha Coffee also offers naturally CO₂-decaffeinated coffees, keeping the character intact without relying on chemical additives.</p>

Dads Deserve a “From-Farm-to-Cup” Kind of Love


<p class="has-text-align-center">Interview with Iris Ho, Founder and CEO of Aroma Vera</p>



<p class="has-text-align-center">Iris believes aromatherapy can elevate quality of life, but a healthy lifestyle is essential for building personal charm and natural beauty.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-video"><video autoplay controls src="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content.bak/uploads/2026/2606/2606_GMHK_Aroma-Vera.mp4"></video></figure>



<p>Hong Kong is known for its fast pace of life, but as people’s quality of life improves, their pursuit of refinement and art also deepens. Aroma Vera, which has been established in Hong Kong for over 35 years, has always believed that fragrance can elevate personal taste and offer a much-needed escape from the city’s hustle and bustle. Founder and Managing Director Iris Ho believes that having a wide range of products is not enough—truly understanding customer needs and providing targeted solutions is the key to long-term success in the industry.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">In-House Factory Enables Product Innovation</h3>



<p>Iris’s entry into the aromatherapy industry is quite interesting. She initially worked in the electronics industry, which had nothing to do with essential oils. Later, she took over her sister’s beauty salon and became familiar with aromatherapy products. It was then that she came across Aroma Vera, a brand from the United States. At the time, very few people in Hong Kong knew about aromatherapy, so she introduced the brand to Hong Kong and became its distributor. Today, the company operates its own local factory, allowing it to develop a variety of formulas to meet different needs. It also creates bespoke fragrances for various venues—such as shopping malls, hotels, and spas—to craft a sophisticated and luxurious atmosphere.</p>



<p>Aromatherapy can be used in many settings and offers mood-stabilising and antibacterial benefits. Essential oils, extracted and refined from flowers, herbs, and trees, are a key source of fragrance and are incorporated into different products. There are countless aromatherapy scents with varying effects. Lavender is a popular choice, known for its relaxing and sleep-improving properties. However, Iris points out that single essential oils are relatively limited, so the company focuses on producing blended oils. By combining various plant extracts with professional blending techniques, Aroma Vera creates complex, layered scents and effects. The company has also embraced technology, offering smart aromatherapy diffusers that can be pre-activated via a mobile app, releasing atomised essential oils for better absorption by the user.</p>

<p><strong>Don’t Neglect Customer Needs for the Sake of Sales Numbers</strong></p>



<p>Scent influences a person subtly and gradually. What works for one individual may not work for another, so the key is not only to respond to customer needs but also to deeply understand the characteristics of each product. Iris once encountered a customer who complained that aromatherapy was ineffective. After further questioning, she discovered that the customer wanted to relax, but salespeople from other brands had randomly offered several scents. The customer chose mint, yet mint is known for increasing alertness over time—it does not help with insomnia. Drawing on her experience, Iris took the time to learn about the customer’s age, lifestyle, and desired outcomes. She then recommended gentler scents such as tea tree and lavender, which resolved the problem. This shows that aromatherapy is not just a product; it is a deeply experiential process involving communication, empathy, and a customised approach.</p>

Men face high work pressure and have a strong need for relaxation and better sleep.</figcaption></figure></div>


<p><strong>The Art of Wholeness</strong></p>



<p>Iris acknowledges that the pandemic had a significant impact on consumer spending, but she believes every crisis also brings opportunities. For example, she shifted her focus to online sales and high‑end B2B clients, creating customised fragrance products to expand her customer base. This ability to adapt comes from years of experience and a clear vision for the future of the aromatherapy industry. She repeatedly emphasises that aromatherapy is a holistic art and a lifestyle. The right scent can enhance one’s personal image and charm, but true beauty also requires a balanced diet and regular exercise to maintain good health.</p>

35 Years of Aroma Vera’s Philosophy: Understanding Customer Needs Matters More Than Selling Products


<h4 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center">Scaling Passion, One Repeatable Winrestaurant Group for the Next Chapter</h4>



<p>From athlete to brand strategist, Issac&#8217;s story isn&#8217;t just a career shift. It&#8217;s a whole glow-up with a side of hustle sauce. As Chief Marketing Officer, Brand Growth Strategist, founder of iSeize Digital, and the brain behind a 12-outlet Korean F&amp;B group, he&#8217;s not merely &#8220;in the restaurant business&#8221; — he&#8217;s in the business of turning diners into regulars, chaos into systems, and growth into something you can actually manage.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Athlete to CMO: how did the journey unfold?</h3>



<p>I keep it refreshingly real: the transition wasn&#8217;t a straight line. It was built from second chances, mentors who actually show up, and a team that believed in me before I fully believed in myself.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>As an athlete, I learned the hardest life lesson early: losing is not the end — it&#8217;s training. That same mindset followed me into advertising at 23. I must admit, I used to be clumsy and raw. Clients called me a liar. A disaster. Ouch. But I didn&#8217;t let ego take the wheel. I started over — writing copy, shooting video, running ads, and learning how departments really communicate.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Then came F&amp;B, where I applied the same strategy: squat low and learn the basics first. No business genius act. Just execution, humility, and the kind of teamwork that makes expansion feel less like a gamble and more like a plan.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Beauty industry strategy: how did it shape your entrepreneurial mindset?</h3>



<p>Eleven years in beauty shaped my view of entrepreneurship in a way &#8220;success stories&#8221; rarely mention. I didn&#8217;t just learn marketing; I learned responsibility.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>I trained 100 therapists and got eye-rolled by the entire room. Humiliation turned into action: I went back to the frontline — customer service, consulting, even store management — because I discovered the truth most people avoid saying: marketing and operations must be tied together. One without the other is just expensive noise.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>One client moment stuck forever: she had only HKD 300,000 left, and if I couldn&#8217;t help, her business would close. That&#8217;s when I realized a business carries families, not just products. In short, value is measured by how many problems I solve.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Credentials and vision in F&amp;B, especially with a shorter track record?</h3>



<p>I don&#8217;t pretend Hong Kong F&amp;B isn&#8217;t full of legends. I call myself a recruit. I opened nine restaurants in three years, but I still have a lot to learn.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>My advantage? I brought precision from beauty branding and data-driven marketing. I don&#8217;t open stores blindly. Every location is positioned using data, then backed by standardised frontline service and workflows. Not robotic — just consistently excellent.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Taste is the baseline, but the real differentiator is the how: CRM, digital transformation, and genuine human warmth. That&#8217;s how you make every guest feel something unexpected.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/2-1-738x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-91487" width="554" height="768" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/2-1-738x1024.jpg 738w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/2-1-202x280.jpg 202w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/2-1-768x1066.jpg 768w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/2-1-1107x1536.jpg 1107w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/2-1-1476x2048.jpg 1476w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/2-1-200x278.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/2-1-800x1110.jpg 800w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/2-1-scaled.jpg 1845w" sizes="(max-width: 554px) 100vw, 554px" /></figure></div>


<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The future of F&amp;B: what&#8217;s next?</h3>



<p>Yes, costs are up, and competition is real. But what I see is opportunity: people will always crave good food and shared space. The next decade won&#8217;t belong to the cheapest; it will belong to brands that push brand value and experience to the ceiling.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What&#8217;s next for your group?</h3>



<p>Improve operational efficiency and staff welfare across the nine restaurants — rewarding the people who built this with me. Also, I want to prove that a young Hong Kong team can scale properly with the highest standards of governance.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Because this isn&#8217;t a finish line. It&#8217;s a platform. And I am continuously building it — quietly, humbly, and one sincere step at a time.</p>


Profit Pilot: Issac Yeung Kam Chuen. From Athlete to Brand Strategist – Building a restaurant Group for the Next Chapter


<p>This season in Hong Kong, L’ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts invites everyone to follow a trail of wonder, straight from the deep, dark ocean to the glittering brilliance of the display case. From <strong>May 23rd to October 11th, 2026</strong>, <em>Precious Coral, from Curiosity to Treasures </em>opens as a rare exhibition experience dedicated to one of jewellery history’s most spellbinding materials: <strong>Precious coral</strong>.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>And yes, prepare to be charmed, because the story begins with a twist. For centuries, precious coral was often mistaken for a stone or a plant. The exhibition gently sets the record straight: <strong>coral is an animal</strong>, and its remarkable beauty comes from life shaped by time, depth, and patience. Far from the sunlit reefs associated with tropical seas, precious coral species such as <strong><em>Corallium japonicum </em></strong>grow slowly at depths reaching <strong>several hundred meters</strong>, building dense, branch-like skeletons prized for their naturally evolving hues, ranging from <strong>pale blush and salmon </strong>to <strong>oxblood red</strong> and <strong>creamy white</strong>.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>But this is no ordinary “show-and-tell” display. <em>Precious Coral, from Curiosity to Treasures</em>, is curated to be experienced through <strong>three compelling lenses, Biology and Gemology, Craftsmanship</strong>, and <strong>History</strong>. Together, these perspectives reveal how coral transforms from a living organism to a material for art, ornament, trade, and belief.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/1-LECOLE_June2026_BG.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-91479" width="576" height="768" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/1-LECOLE_June2026_BG.jpg 768w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/1-LECOLE_June2026_BG-210x280.jpg 210w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/1-LECOLE_June2026_BG-200x267.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Sciacca coral <em>(Corallium rubrum),</em> fashioned in the traditional &#8220;flowers &amp; leaves&#8221; 19th century, second half Liverino Collection</figcaption></figure></div>


<p>Start with the biology. You’ll encounter coral not as a static object, but as a complex living structure, an organism with its own natural architecture. Then comes gemmology and colour: why this material’s palette feels almost impossible, as if the sea learned to paint. Finally, step into the craftsmanship gallery, where the exhibition highlights the human touch, tools, unfinished branches, and finished jewels placed side by side. Because working precious coral requires both <strong>technical sensitivity</strong> and <strong>respect for fragility</strong>, it can be intricately carved and engraved, yet demands precision, patience, and a steady hand. Watching the transformation, from raw branch to sculpted treasure, turns appreciation into awe.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>History, meanwhile, adds the intrigue of long-distance journeys. Precious coral has travelled far beyond its origin waters, fished historically in the Mediterranean and parts of the Pacific, it reached East Asia early through exchanges along what became known as the Silk Road connections. By the era of the <strong>Han Dynasty (206 BCE–220 CE)</strong>, Mediterranean coral was already moving eastward, valued as an ornament, currency, and talisman. In other words, coral didn’t just become jewellery, it became <strong>meaning</strong>.</p>

<p>The exhibition also brings together approximately <strong>120 creations and exceptional specimens</strong>, including jewels, sculptures, art objects, and naturalia on loan from distinguished collections and institutions. Expect to see masterpieces and rare artifacts, such as the <strong>Akai Amoronagu Necklace</strong> and a glimpse of evolving forms across centuries.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>With curators <strong>Olivier Segura, Mathilde Berger-Rondouin </strong>and <strong>Ann Lee</strong>, and scientific advisory by <strong>Rui Galopim de Carvalho</strong>, the experience<strong> blends science, tradition, art, and craftsmanship</strong> into one unmissable narrative. As the exhibition suggests, precious coral is not only beautiful, it’s layered.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>So come, and let your imagination follow the current. Because once you’ve seen precious coral through these three lenses, you’ll realize the real treasure isn’t just in the pieces.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>It’s in the stories, woven, carved, polished, and preserved, until you can finally say: <strong>Coral-ly unforgettable.</strong></p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Open daily <strong>10 a.m.–7 p.m.</strong>, with <strong>free admission (registration required) </strong>at <strong>L’ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts, 510A, 5/F, K11 MUSEA, Hong Kong</strong>.</p>

<p>What does it play?</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Two iconic melodies from Nino Rota’s Godfather soundtrack, chosen as a deliberate double-feature, not a random medley. This is musical strategy: the kind that makes you feel like you just received an invitation you weren’t supposed to accept.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Now for the control, because every great performance has cues:</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<ul>
<li>Use the pusher at 10 o’clock to select your melody.</li>



<li>The chosen tune appears in a window at 9 o’clock; clean, precise, and just cryptic enough to feel dangerous.</li>



<li>When you’re ready to commit, press the pusher at 8 o’clock and let it play.</li>

<p>And when you want both?</p>

<p>Press the melody selection button and the mechanism shifts, barrel sideways to reveal a second set of pins, then the comb’s teeth lift in perfect timing. As the barrel spins, the arrangement transforms into actual music, unfolding like an opening title sequence: inevitable, elegant, and slightly menacing.</p>

<p>Inside, Caliber JCAM62 works with 510 components (not including the music barrel pins). That’s not just complexity for complexity’s sake.</p>

<p>When the circus comes to Hollywood: Caroline Scheufele turns festival flair into unforgettable cinema</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>At the 79th Cannes Film Festival, and timed with the exact kind of drama Cannes is famous for, Chopard unveiled MIRACLES, an exceptional evening hosted by Caroline Scheufele, Co-President and Artistic Director of the Maison. Held at La Palestre in Cannes on Monday 18 May, like the best films, it arrived with anticipation, built momentum through spectacle and left guests talking long after the lights went down.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>From the moment guests stepped into the world of MIRACLES, it was clear this wasn’t going to be “just” another Cannes gathering. It was a carefully staged celebration of wonder, imagination and craftsmanship; an experience designed to feel emotional first, visual second, and utterly immersive throughout.</p>

<p>Under the big top: a cocktail before the curtain rises</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>The evening began beneath a big top, inspired by the circus universe, where awe is constant, even when you think you’ve seen it all. Guests were welcomed into a cocktail setting that revisited the Maison’s iconic harlequin lozenge motif, paired with plush seating and a lush palette of orchid tones. It was the kind of scene that made you slow down, look twice, and yes, remember how wonder feels when you’re a little younger.</p>

<p>Couture meets Haute Joaillerie: the runway takes centre stage</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Next came the runway presentation: Caroline’s Couture silhouettes floated into view alongside dazzling creations from the 2026 Red Carpet Collection, also titled MIRACLES. The collection comprised 79 pieces, one for each year of the Festival’s history, turning Cannes into something closer to a love letter than a calendar date.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">

<p>Among the highlights: clown-inspired brooches set with diamonds, emeralds, or rubies; a tribute to one of Caroline Scheufele’s most foundational creative gestures for the Maison. The show opened with Liu Wen and culminated in a grand finale led by Eva Herzigová, Liu Wen, Adriana Lima, and Nour Arida, longtime friends of Caroline Scheufele, proof that friendship, like good cinema, is often the true star of the story.</p>

<p>A transformation worthy of a plot twist</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>After the runway, Caroline Scheufele addressed her guests, her loyal companion Byron by her side, a cocker spaniel, before a central structure behind her transformed to reveal the dining space below. The effect was pure theatre: part stagecraft, part magic trick, and wholly intentional.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Dinner by Chef Bruno Oger: refined, generous and perfectly paced</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Dinner was curated by Chef Bruno Oger, whose two Michelin stars bring both precision and warmth to the plate. The menu unfolded like a sequence of scenes:</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<ul>
<li>Yellow pepper velouté with ricotta and flame grilled white asparagus</li>



<li>Breton lobster with green vegetables, horseradish and walnut</li>



<li>A concluding peach and orange blossom Melba parfait, finished with redcurrant coulis</li>
</ul>



<p>It was elegance with a pulse, each course timed to keep the night moving, while the room itself seemed to breathe with anticipation.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>The performances: magicians, acrobats, and velvet drama</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>And then, because MIRACLES isn’t interested in subtlety, came the surprises.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Guests were treated to a series of intimate, unexpected performances: magicians weaving through the room, and dynamic acrobatic interludes by Knie Circus, bringing the evening’s circus energy fully to life.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Then the mood shifted into pure showmanship with a captivating burlesque performance by Dita Von Teese, followed by Sophie Ellis-Bextor, whose celebrated songs led to the unforgettable Murder on the Dancefloor moment. The night didn’t end there, far from it. Festivities rolled into the late hours with a DJ set by Bob Sinclar, turning Cannes glamour into something closer to a dance scene from a classic.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>One of Cannes’ most talked-about soirées, because it delivered on the promise</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>With MIRACLES, Chopard offered an immersive expression of Caroline Scheufele’s creative vision: a world where craft meets emotion, and where moments of wonder don’t simply dazzle, they linger.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Special thanks to the evening’s partners: Casadei for shoes, Nouba Italia and MKS Milano for make-up, and Wella Professionals Italia along with salons Orazio Anelli, Vatami and Zero6.Lab for hair.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>And as the big top spirit carried guests through the final encore, one thing became unmistakably clear: in Cannes, sometimes the real magic isn’t on the screen; it’s staged in real life, one perfectly timed miracle at a time.</p>


MIRACLES on the Big Screen


<figure class="wp-block-video"><video autoplay controls src="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content.bak/uploads/2026/2606/2606_GMHK_AM.mp4"></video></figure>



<p>With one of the most iconic emblems in the world above the garage and a team of hundreds of passionate people, Aston Martin Aramco has both a rich heritage and a fresh perspective – bringing new energy to the sport with a determination to shake up the order and compete at the sharp end.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Meet the AMR26: speed engineered, not guessed</h3>



<p>2026 marks the biggest regulatory reset in a generation: for the first time, Formula One&#8217;s chassis and power unit regulations change together. The result is a radically different F1 car: lighter, more compact, less drag and more sustainable. Super-efficient active aero reshapes airflow. A 50:50 hybrid power unit balances combustion and electrical energy.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>The AMR26 is therefore more than a new challenger. It’s the first Aston Martin Aramco car shaped by Adrian Newey’s design philosophy, and the first overseen by Chief Technical Officer Enrico Cardile, marking a fresh era under Formula One’s 2026 regulations.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>This year brings what the sport calls a generation-defining shift:</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<ul>
<li>New power units</li>



<li>New aerodynamic rules</li>



<li>Sustainable fuels</li>
</ul>



<p>The result? A car built for a world where speed isn’t just found, it’s cultivated through fundamentals, coherence, and consistent development. The AMR26 represents an overhaul of thinking as much as hardware, with design decisions made for where the sport is going next, not where it’s been.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A full works team; more freedom, more firepower</h3>



<p>The AMR26 also arrives at a major milestone for Aston Martin Aramco: the team has become a full works outfit. That unlocks more design freedom, more opportunity, and a sharper pathway to performance under next-generation technical regulations.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Backed by partnerships with Honda, Aramco, and Valvoline, the team enters 2026 with deep expertise across:</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<ul>
<li>power unit integration</li>



<li>sustainable fuels</li>



<li>cutting-edge lubricants</li>
</ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Consistency in the cockpit: the rhythm of pace</h3>



<p>On-track readiness is powered by continuity. Lance Stroll and Fernando Alonso return for their fourth consecutive season as the team’s driver pairing, creating one of the most experienced line-ups on the grid, with a combined 614 Formula One race starts. Jak Crawford steps up as Third Driver, acting as the team’s reserve at all races this year. Together with Sim, test and reserve driver Stoffel Vandoorne, and team ambassadors Pedro de la Rosa, Jenson Button and Jessica Hawkins, the team isn’t just bringing speed to 2026, it’s bringing stability, feedback, and development momentum.</p>


AMR26: Fast Track to the Future

<p>Expect over 200 m² of highly usable living space—engineered by Garroni Design and guided by one irresistible mission: make life aboard feel closer to the sea.</p>



<p>Designer Camillo Garroni explains the vision: bringing “the cockpit closer to the sea, transforming it into a truly lowered terrace facing aft”—turning it into an immersive, open-air moment every time you step outside.</p>

<p>“Whispered Luxury” Meets High-Efficiency Cruising</p>



<p>The PRESTIGE M7 doesn’t try to shout. It speaks softly—with textures, materials, and calm design choices that feel intentionally refined.</p>



<p>As Valentina Motta, Product Interior Designer, puts it: “The interior of M7 evokes calm and serenity.”</p>

<p>But a luxury yacht should perform as beautifully as it looks. The M7 delivers exactly that with optimized asymmetric hulls designed by Marc Lombard Yacht Design, delivering:</p>



<ul>
<li>exceptional stability</li>



<li>fuel consumption reduced by half compared with a similarly sized monohull</li>
</ul>



<p>Power comes from twin 550 HP Volvo D8 engines, giving an impressive cruising range of 1,220 nautical miles at 8 knots—perfect for longer escapes without sacrificing comfort.</p>

Make Waves in Pure Luxury: PRESTIGE M7, Your Floating “Stay-Cation”


<p>In Hong Kong, divorce and family disputes are rarely “routine.” They arrive with deadlines measured in hours, families under pressure, and decisions that reshape futures, especially when wealth is complex and children’s wellbeing is at stake. That’s where Jocelyn Tsao stands out: Head of the Family Law team at Withers Hong Kong and Managing Director of the Hong Kong office, known for combining courtroom capability with strategic, client-first judgment.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>As a leading divorce and family lawyer with over 18 years of experience, Jocelyn advises on high-net-worth divorces, asset division, trust and corporate structures, injunctive relief, and cross-border matters, from evidence planning to negotiation, through mediation, and, when necessary, advocacy in the Hong Kong courts. Her approach isn’t simply aggressive or cautious; it’s disciplined, practical, and anchored in integrity.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">As Head of the Family Law team and Managing Director, what does effective leadership look like in a high-volume, emotionally charged practice, and how do you set your team up to perform at its best?</h3>



<p><strong>Jocelyn:</strong> Effective leadership, to me, begins with being a role model. In family law, you can’t just tell a team what urgency looks like; you have to show it. If a client needs support beyond office hours, I believe leadership means being there: not because the work is inconvenient, but because the situation is real for the client and the team needs to understand the seriousness of the moment.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>I also emphasize calmness and steadiness. Family disputes can intensify quickly; clients are anxious, emotions run high, and any panic from the lawyer can spread. I try to remain collected so the team can execute with clarity. The goal is to keep clients grounded, bring issues back to rational, objective decision-making, and ensure the legal work stays focused on outcomes, not volatility.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/DSC06241FFF-813x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-91444" width="610" height="768" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/DSC06241FFF-813x1024.jpg 813w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/DSC06241FFF-222x280.jpg 222w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/DSC06241FFF-768x967.jpg 768w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/DSC06241FFF-1220x1536.jpg 1220w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/DSC06241FFF-1626x2048.jpg 1626w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/DSC06241FFF-200x252.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/DSC06241FFF-800x1007.jpg 800w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/DSC06241FFF-scaled.jpg 2033w" sizes="(max-width: 610px) 100vw, 610px" /></figure></div>


<h3 class="wp-block-heading">In high-net-worth divorces involving complex financial disputes, how do you balance strategic aggression with procedural discipline, especially in cases involving beneficial ownership, valuation, and asset preservation?</h3>



<p><strong>Jocelyn:</strong> For me, the starting point is honesty about prospects and proportionality. I don’t advocate litigation just to “fight.” I consider whether a claim is credible and whether pursuing it will realistically improve the client’s position.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Take beneficial ownership disputes: in Hong Kong, it’s common for assets to be held in children’s names or through structures that reflect estate planning or intergenerational transfer. During divorce, the central question becomes: who is the true beneficial owner? My job is to assess the evidence carefully, build a coherent legal narrative, and determine where court proceedings are necessary and where they are not.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>On valuation, discipline matters because it can be expensive, and timing affects accuracy. If valuations are carried out too early, they can become outdated. So I focus on doing valuations when they are necessary and strategically justified, not automatically.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>And yes, sometimes an application is needed to create pressure for settlement. But even then, the question remains: will it work, and is it proportionate to the value at stake? Strategy should serve results, not inflate costs.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">You advise clients on some truly consequential disputes. What do you prioritize when children, custody, care, and relocation are involved?</h3>



<p>Jocelyn: Children’s interests come first, always. In family law, the issues aren’t just financial; they shape children’s lives for years. I pursue custody, care, and control matters with a strong focus on protecting stability and minimizing harm.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>When relocation and international child abduction issues arise, I draw on my experience in Hague Convention matters before the Hong Kong High Court. These cases require both urgency and precision: the legal process must move fast, but the reasoning must be careful. My approach is to advocate firmly while keeping the case oriented around the children’s best interests.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How do you handle cross-border and international divorce work, especially coordination with overseas solicitors and managing risk across legal systems?</h3>



<p>Jocelyn: Cross-border matters demand coordination, reliability, and trust. Different jurisdictions have different standards, evidence requirements, and timelines, so the work needs structure from the start.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>In international child abduction matters, for example, the legal mechanism relies on effective cooperation with authorities and lawyers in multiple countries. I also collaborate through established international professional networks so I can work with lawyers I trust.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>In jurisdiction disputes, I coordinate with overseas counsel to ensure we can present the case under a consistent framework. I’ve seen how uneven responsiveness can create risk, so I rely on relationships built through experience, knowing which lawyers work with the competence and responsiveness the case requires.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">When you define personal happiness and professional success, what do they mean to you, and has that changed over time?</h3>



<p>Jocelyn: For me, happiness is built around three pillars: work, personal pursuits, and family.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Work matters because I genuinely enjoy family law. Personal training matters because it balances the intensity of legal practice. And family completed the picture in a way I didn’t fully understand before becoming a mother; it expanded love and satisfaction rather than replacing ambition.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>In terms of success, early on, it meant progressing professionally. Over time, it shifted into something deeper: building a reputation for integrity and sound judgment, being someone clients trust not to over-promise, not to push unnecessary litigation, and to act in the best interests of the client with real care.</p>

Calm Force: Family law leadership for the moments that can’t wait


<figure class="wp-block-video"><video autoplay controls src="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content.bak/uploads/2026/2606/2606_GMHK_lapot_studio.mp4"></video></figure>



<p>When you hear <em>Lapot Studio</em>, there’s a quiet sense of intention behind the name. It’s the scent research studio, and in-house brand, of LAPORTE, created around a belief they now hold close: <em>calm joy</em>.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Life moves fast. Emotions shift, sometimes softly, sometimes sharply. And after everything, the team arrived at a simple truth: joy doesn’t always have to be loud to be real. The kind that matters is steady, something that stays with you, even when the world gets noisier.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Yes, they still love the spark of intense happiness. But they also want to offer something rarer: the feeling of returning to yourself, when you slow down, exhale, and come back to what’s truly essential. That’s what their perfumes are designed to deliver: a calm kind of happiness that feels precious, grounding, and unexpectedly enduring.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Back to Authenticity</h3>



<p>In the “Back to Authenticity” collection, Lapot Studio presents a tranquil, pure aura, built on the quiet strength of multiple agarwood notes. Agarwood has a unique way of smoothing the edges of a fragrance, making it feel approachable rather than overwhelming. Layered with rich, stable woody notes, the scent doesn’t just bloom and disappear; it settles in, lingers, and stays grounded.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>It opens gently, develops with thoughtfulness, and remains quietly confident from first breath to last. Like returning to a familiar space, your favourite chair, your everyday calm.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Transcendence</h3>



<p>If “Back to Authenticity” brings you home, “Transcendence” invites you just beyond it. This is for those rare moments when you want to step out of routine and let your mind wander past the limits of everyday life.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Expect a surreal sensation, like crossing into a distant, mysterious place just outside the border of what feels familiar.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>

<p>Pink Floyd lead guitarist David Gilmour’s legendary ‘Black Strat’ sold for an extraordinary US$14.6 million (HK$114.4 million) at auction in New York this March, setting a new world record for a guitar. The sale underscored the instrument’s cultural weight – it became inseparable from the iconic British band’s sound, shaping some of the most recognisable passages in modern rock history.</p>



<p>Gilmour purchased the Fender Stratocaster from famed New York store Manny’s in 1970, following the theft of his previous guitar. He modified it over decades, changing pickups, necks and hardware to refine its tone. The worn black finish, white pickguard and unmistakable patina tell the story of constant touring and recording. It featured on landmark albums of the 1970s including The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here and The Wall.</p>



<p>Its sale at this unexpected sum – Christie’s had estimated just US$2-4 million – reflects the continued strength of the high-end memorabilia market, where provenance and cultural impact drive record-breaking results. More than an instrument, the Black Strat represents a defining chapter in rock history.</p>

<p>Dorothea Tanning’s Children’s Games achieved £4.7 million (HK$49.4 million) at an ‘Art of the Surreal’ evening auction in London this spring, setting a new benchmark for the late US painter’s work and reaffirming her central role in the 20th-century art and cultural movement. Realised in 1942, the small Surrealist work exemplifies her psychologically charged approach to figuration. At first glance, the composition appears whimsical, yet closer inspection reveals unsettling tension beneath its dreamlike surface.</p>



<p>The painting depicts three girls entangled in ambiguous play within an interior space that feels both domestic and destabilised. A door opens into unknown realms, fabric twists into organic forms, wallpaper is torn to reveal flesh underneath, and gestures hover between innocence and unease. Tanning’s muted palette heightens the emotional ambiguity, blurring boundaries between childhood imagination, subconscious anxiety and violent action.</p>



<p>Children’s Games reflects broader Surrealist explorations of desire, fear and transformation. Its strong sales signals sustained collector interest in women Surrealists whose contributions have been historically underrecognised.</p>

<p>A work from the Space series by pioneering artist Alma Woodsey Thomas soared beyond its modest estimate to land US$3.7 million (HK$29.1 million) at auction in New York recently. The successful sale of Snoopy Sees Sunrise on Earth (1970) reinforces Thomas’s enduring importance within postwar American abstraction.</p>



<p>The Washington D.C. teacher only became a professional artist upon her retirement; she was the first fine arts graduate from Howard University in 1924, and the first African-American woman to stage a solo exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1972, aged 80. Her signature style was short, repeated dabs of paint carefully arranged in mosaic-like brushstrokes to produce a pulsating surface.</p>



<p>Inspired by the Apollo 11 moon landing and the cartoon character’s role as NASA’s safety mascot, Snoopy Sees Sunrise on Earth merges cosmic imagination with lyrical abstraction. Its sunrise motif suggests optimism and renewal. Thomas’s legacy reflects the spirit of scientific achievement and cultural transformation during the space age.</p>

<p>The only animal drawing by Rembrandt to remain in private hands was sold earlier this year to benefit wildcat charity Panthera. Young Lion Resting garnered US$17.9 million (HK$140 million), trouncing the previous auction record of US$3.7 million for a drawing by the Dutch Golden Age painter.</p>



<p>This tiny work in black chalk on paper, washed light brown, dates back to between the late 1630s and mid-1640s, when the artist was flourishing in Amsterdam. It depicts a reclining lion rendered with remarkable immediacy and control. Through economical yet expressive strokes and nuanced shading, Rembrandt masterfully conveyed texture, weight, quiet vitality and an ability to imbue even a resting subject with psychological presence.</p>



<p>Although celebrated primarily for his portraits and biblical scenes, the maestro is estimated to have produced several hundred drawings, including more animal studies than the 15 or so known to have survived to this day. These works reveal his fascination with anatomy, movement and the interplay of light and shadow.</p>

<p>Step into <strong>Voodoomoi</strong> and you’ll quickly realize you’re not just buying fragrance, you’re joining a <em>self-care ritual</em> that knows exactly what your body wants and your mind remembers.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Because scent isn’t “just smell.” It’s a full-body experience with a personality.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>And Voodoomoi is built on one deliciously smart idea: <strong>your nose sends the message,your body and emotions receive it.</strong></p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Sense (the ignition)</h3>



<p>It starts at the source: aromatic molecules dancing into the air, catching on receptors, and translating fragrance into signals your system can’t help but notice. Your nose doesn’t <em>detect</em> vibes, it <strong>activates</strong> them.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>So yes: when you pick a scent intentionally, you’re basically choosing an energy level.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Soma (the body’s reaction)</h3>



<p>Next comes the part you can feel, literally. Those scent signals don’t just stay in your head; they influence your body in ways that can help you feel <strong>physically calmer, lighter, and more at ease</strong>.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Think of it like this: the fragrance isn’t performing magic spells. It’s creating conditions for your mood to shift into something steadier.</p>

<p>And then, oh, then comes the iconic moment. The one no one can fake.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p><strong>Sentiment.</strong></p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>That “I remember this” connection. The way your brain links scent to emotion through deep, ancient pathways. The way one whiff can pull you back to a moment, a feeling, a version of yourself.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Not cheesy. Not random. Just real.</p>
