<p>What happens to a church when the congregation has gone? Over the past few decades, the Western world has seen a steady decrease in church attendance, leading to many places of worship shutting their doors. Three years ago, it was predicted that some 100,000 of the estimated 380,000 to 420,000 churches currently operational in the US were doomed to close in the near future. According to another forecast, as many as 15,000 American churches could fall into disuse within this year.</p>



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



<p>Hundreds of church buildings that were once revered now stand derelict, in want of attention and new adoration. Late last year, the Chicago Tribune reported that more than 30 church properties in the Archdiocese of Chicago had been listed for sale. The lucky ones may undergo conversion and be born again as centres of business. Rechristening can take place in a variety of creative forms, from restaurants and pubs to dance studios and art spaces, and even in one instance, a circus school.</p>



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



<p>It is perhaps less common to redevelop churches into residences, since converting a typically cavernous, single-room historical structure into a safe, comfortable home with the necessary lighting, water and heating for full-time occupation requires a substantial investment. Preserving the integrity and grandeur of their original features, like arched doors and windows, stained glass, vaulted ceilings, domed roofs or spires, brings further costs and design headaches. Those inspired homeowners and architects who do accomplish this feat are to be praised. </p>

<p>Almost a decade ago, a then neighbourhood news platform stated that some 20 churches in Chicago had been turned into apartments or family homes. One of these was particularly stylish – a seven-bedroom, six-bathroom conversion featuring pristine white interiors that garnered a bagful of international accolades, including an American Institute of Architects’ Small Projects Award.</p>



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



<p>The original edifice was built by an Italian architect in 1901 as a Methodist church, though it served the devout for less than 20 years before putting out the last candle. It had previously been converted into offices and then two separate residences. Turning it into a single 5,500-square-foot home for an adventurous couple with three young children fell into the hands of Chicago-based artist-designer Linc Thelen.</p>



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



<p>“What really made this project stand out to everybody was it’s so contemporary and current but in the envelope of a church,” said Thelen in an interview after the project was completed in 2015. “We were able to add more rooms, but enlarge them in other areas so it didn’t lose that lofty feel. [We were] able to accomplish something very current in design, that was fluid, that worked, that didn’t look gimmicky.”</p>



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



<p>Thelen, who studied both art and architecture and has shown his paintings in Hong Kong, takes the ‘master builder’ approach to his projects. Here, he worked in collaboration with Scrafano Architects, a firm with offices in Chicago and Los Angeles. “I wanted a sleek, modern design that could showcase the architecture in a new, contemporary way,” he noted at the time.</p>

<p>From day one, Thelen knew the project was going to be demanding, but he also saw it as a great opportunity.  “When it comes to converting an old church, just about everything regarding design and construction is a challenge,” he said. “How are we going to make more rooms without losing the open loft-like space? How do we heat and cool this home? Where do we put the kitchen?”</p>



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



<p>The team took care to preserve the former church’s historic details, including the bell tower, exposed brickwork and ceiling turnbuckles. Lighting was a huge challenge with the high-vaulted ceilings, but they worked around it by exposing the structure’s original wood beams and black metal supports. This resulted in an imposing main room with ceilings soaring to 7.6 metres (25 feet). </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/DSC9231-683x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-91571" width="512" height="768" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/DSC9231-683x1024.jpg 683w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/DSC9231-187x280.jpg 187w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/DSC9231-768x1152.jpg 768w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/DSC9231-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/DSC9231-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/DSC9231-200x300.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/DSC9231-800x1200.jpg 800w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/DSC9231-scaled.jpg 1707w" sizes="(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px" /></figure></div>


<p>Entry to the house is granted through a blue door with stained-glass arches above it, which Thelen preserved from the original design. “The front door is one of the few things we didn’t change,” said Thelen. “The team thought the shade was both traditional and modern, setting the tone from the first moment one walks in.”</p>



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



<p>Sitting in the entryway foyer, hemmed in by exposed brick walls, is a symbolic pew from the original 1901 church. The so-called ‘great hall’, with its high ceilings, has an open layout that comfortably merges the kitchen, dining room and sitting area. Thelen made use of white oak with a custom white-wash stain for the wood flooring to create a warm and cosy feel.</p>

<p>Over the kitchen’s gas range is a giant stained-glass window with frames that were painted black. “We wanted to restore the windows and make them a prominent feature of the home,” he said. At the large central island, five counter-height stools line up to face the gothic arches, whose transparent central panes reveal the street view beyond.</p>

<p>A black floor-to-ceiling chimney with integrated firewood storage stands in sharp contrast to the white painted walls. The two-sided, see-through wood-burning hearth and fireplace it houses is shared by a separate living room opposite the main area.</p>


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

<p>From above, a second-floor balcony looks down into the centre of the home, while a sliding door opens onto a backyard terrace. The master bedroom was designed with floating nightstands and a two-tiered ceiling hanging over the bed. The master bathroom is the site of one of Thelen’s favourite vignettes: a picture-perfect resin bathtub under a glittering chandelier and stained-glass window.</p>



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



<p>The bedroom created for the homeowners’ son contains fun elements, led by a floor-to-ceiling rock-climbing wall made from cement plaster. A sliding bar door leads to the en-suite bathroom, where tiles are inspired by the city’s rapid transit system and hexagonal patterns embellish cement floors.</p>



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



<p>The daughter’s room was also given a light-hearted touch with a hanging swing chair and a short ladder leading up to a loft and play area. The bathroom is tiled with colourful Moorish patterns. Over the tub is a cut-out window, bringing fresh air and natural light into the room.</p>



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



<p>The same cut-out design was repeated in the nursery, whose rectangular opening also revealed the home’s main living area. The nursery’s bookcase conceals a pull-down bed, enabling its conversion into a guest room. </p>



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



<p>The home’s pinnacle, though, is the bell tower, which once housed a furnace with panelled windows. Thelen transformed the entire area using glass floors and new windows, which offer a stunning view of downtown Chicago’s city lights.</p>



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



<p>This property’s days of serving as a house of worship are long gone, but those who live there now will likely be singing the praises of Thelen’s sophisticated and innovative approach to design.</p>


Abode with Me: Abandoned churches may be blessings in disguise for intrepid home buyers seeking design inspiration


<p>Pearls have long been associated with tradition, timeless elegance and inherited refinement, yet in recent years they have quietly reinvented themselves. No longer reserved for formal occasions or perfectly matched strands, the natural or cultured bounty of the oyster has stepped into a more expressive, contemporary role.</p>



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



<p>Formed slowly and shaped by nature, pearls are one of the most poetic gemstones. Their enduring appeal lies in this balance between time and transformation. Yet, the modern pearl necklace is not about perfection; it is about presence. Pearl designs have become increasingly fluid and sculptural, as jewellers are more captivated by individuality, texture and contrast, and less interested in symmetry and polish.</p>



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



<p>Baroque pearls, with their irregular shapes and organic forms, sit at the centre of this evolution. Their asymmetry gives each piece a sense of movement, as if the pearl itself is still in the process of becoming. Designers often allow these shapes to dictate the final form of a necklace or earring, pairing them with molten gold, oxidised silver or minimal metal settings. The result is jewellery that feels intuitive and alive.</p>



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



<p>Scale has also shifted dramatically. Oversized pearls are now celebrated rather than considered too bold. Single pearl earrings replace traditional pairs, while large pendants hang from fine chains with understated confidence. Layering has become a defining styling choice, with short pearl chokers worn against long strands or mixed with metal chains. Now a popular choice for many occasions – not just special ones – pearls move effortlessly from tailored daywear to evening looks.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Beyond the Pale</h3>



<p>Colour plays a quiet but powerful role in modern pearl design. While classic white remains timeless, designers are increasingly drawn to pearls in soft blush, lavender, gold and deep charcoal tones. Tahitian pearls with peacock and green overtones bring drama, while golden South Sea pearls add warmth and richness.</p>



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



<p>Beyond the pearl’s base colour, overtones create subtle iridescence on the surface, adding depth and dimension. Rose, silver and green overtones are particularly prized, enhancing the pearl’s visual richness. Rather than matching colours perfectly, designers often mix them within a single piece, embracing natural variation. This approach reinforces the idea that pearls are individual by nature, each carrying its own character.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Love of Lustre</h3>



<p>As pearl designs grow more expressive, understanding quality becomes essential. Grading pearls is both an art and a science, balancing measurable characteristics with aesthetic judgment. Lustre remains the most important factor in determining a pearl’s quality. It refers to how light reflects from the surface and interacts with the layers of nacre beneath.</p>



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



<p>Lustre gives pearls their unmistakable glow, the quality that draws the eye even from a distance. High-quality pearls appear bright and sharp, with reflections that seem almost mirror-like. Lower quality pearls lack this depth, appearing flat or chalky.</p>



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



<p>Surface quality also plays a role, though its importance has evolved. Because pearls are organic, most have some imperfections. In traditional grading, fewer blemishes meant higher value. In contemporary design, however, subtle texture is often embraced rather than hidden. Light surface markings can add authenticity, particularly in baroque pearls. Only deep cracks or heavy blemishes significantly detract from a pearl’s worth.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Shaping Up</h3>



<p>Shape remains a defining factor in grading, though modern taste has expanded its boundaries. Perfectly round pearls are rare and still highly valued, but they are no longer the sole standard of beauty. Oval, drop, button and irregular shapes are increasingly sought after for their individuality.</p>



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



<p>Different pearl varieties bring distinct qualities to design. Akoya pearls, predominantly cultivated in cold water off the coast of Japan, are known for their brightness and classic appeal. Freshwater pearls offer diversity; Tahitian pearls introduce drama through dark, complex tones; and South Sea pearls embody luxury through size and softness.</p>



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



<p>While size affects value, it is never considered in isolation. Larger pearls are rarer and often more valuable, especially when combined with high lustre and clean surfaces. Yet a smaller pearl with exceptional glow may be more desirable than a larger one lacking vitality.</p>



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



<p>Designers select pearls not only for their grade but for how their character complements the story they want to tell. In embracing both design and discernment, modern pearls invite us not only to admire them, but to understand them and, in doing so, to see beauty as something layered, nuanced and deeply personal.</p>

What’s on? Things to do this March in Hong Kong


<p>In the ever-evolving world of fine jewellery, few designs have the enduring appeal and emotional resonance of the ‘love bracelet’. Typically fashioned from yellow gold and diamonds, these luminous slip-on or hinged bangles are both sophisticated and symbolic, evoking a deeper narrative of devotion, permanence and personal meaning. A central focus for the world’s most prestigious jewellery maisons, the new generation of love bracelets embraces timeless craftsmanship while reflecting modern aesthetics.</p>



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



<p>For 2026, yellow gold has reclaimed its place at the forefront of luxury. Having been overshadowed by white gold and platinum in the early 2000s, it has surged back in recent years with a warmth and richness that feels both nostalgic and contemporary. Its sun-lit glow offers unparalleled versatility: it flatters every skin tone, pairs seamlessly with diamonds, and effortlessly elevates everything from a tailored suit to a silk evening dress. A precious yellow-gold bracelet exudes exactly the kind of understated opulence that feels right for now.</p>



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



<p><strong>&nbsp;Cartier</strong>, of course, remains the quintessential reference point for bangles that symbolise sentiment as much as style. The iconic Cartier Love bracelet, first introduced in 1969, continues to be one of the most recognisable symbols of commitment. From its oval shape to its locking mechanism and screwdriver ritual, every element is infused with emotional meaning. Diamond-set versions in 18-carat yellow gold transform the classic bracelet into something altogether more glamorous. Meanwhile, the maison’s <em>Juste un Clou </em>and<em> Panthère lines </em>offer edgier interpretations of gold and diamonds, appealing to jewellery lovers who seek modern sculpture over tradition.</p>



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



<p><strong>&nbsp;Tiffany &amp; Co. </strong>brings contemporary American glamour to the trend for meaningful bracelets. The <em>Tiffany T</em> and <em>T1 </em>bangles in yellow gold, many accented with perfectly aligned diamond pavé, offer a minimal yet powerful aesthetic. Their architectural precision has made them a favourite for those who prefer clean lines over ornamentation. Inspired by a padlock from 1883, the jeweller’s <em>Lock </em>design has become a modern heirloom in its own right, symbolising connection and unity, while the <em>HardWear </em>chain band in yellow gold with pavé links provides an urban, fashion-forward take on the classic gold bracelet.</p>



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



<p>Italian houses instil sensuality into the sentimental bracelet. <strong>Bvlgari</strong>’s yellow-gold Serpenti coils, often lined with diamonds around the serpent’s head and scales, embody the brand’s signature balance of mythology and glamour. The <em>B.Zero1</em> diamond-set bangles, with their iconic spiral design, feel both modern and rooted in Italian history.</p>



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



<p>Parisian jeweller <strong>Van Cleef &amp; Arpels </strong>offers an ethereal, romantic dimension with its beaded Perlée bangles and signature <em>Alhambra</em> flower bracelets, many of which incorporate delicate diamond settings in warm gold. Van Cleef’s craftsmanship emphasises softness of line, clarity of detail, and a poetic interpretation of luxury.</p>



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



<p>Fellow French maison <strong>Boucheron</strong> infuses boldness and architectural daring into the trend. Its <em>Quatre Classique </em>bracelet in yellow, white and pink gold blends diamonds with intertwined Double Godron and Clou de Paris motifs and Grosgrain texture, delivering a confident, urban‑luxury feel. The gold links of the Serpent Bohème bangles, with their drop-shaped diamond motifs, strike a beautiful balance between historical design and modern refinement.</p>



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



<p>Swiss houses like <strong>Chopard </strong>and <strong>Piaget </strong>elevate the theme with distinctive movement and playfulness. Chopard’s <em>Happy Diamonds </em>bracelets, featuring floating diamonds suspended within a sapphire crystal, add a kinetic sparkle that feels joyful and contemporary. Piaget’s Possession bangles, marked by their signature turning bands and diamond accents, bring an interactive element to the elegance of yellow-gold jewellery.</p>



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



<p>&nbsp;<strong>Hermès</strong> offers exquisite yellow-gold bracelets such as the Kelly bangle and the <em>Chaine d’Ancre </em>diamond-set design. These pieces bridge fashion heritage with fine jewellery craftsmanship, resulting in heirloom-worthy creations that resonate with both collectors and style connoisseurs.</p>



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



<p>What unites luxury ‘love bracelets’ across brands and aesthetics is the sense of meaning they carry: they are gifts for milestones, symbols of commitment and statements of self-love.</p>



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



<p>The inherent radiance of yellow gold and the timeless fire of diamonds have become the language of modern affection, cementing the sentimental bangle as one of the defining jewellery directions for 2026.&nbsp;</p>



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



<p>In a world that moves quickly, these bracelets offer a moment of permanence. They become part of the body, part of the story, part of the wearer’s identity. Whether stacked or worn solo, minimal or richly embellished, heritage or fashion‑forward, a yellow gold and diamond bangle embodies the essence of luxury today: personal, meaningful, beautiful and built to last generations.</p>


Locked in Love: Iconic to every luxury jeweller, the radiant bangle is a precious statement of personal sentiment


<p>Cristin Milioti doesn’t just play characters, she inhabits them. Whether she’s singing her heart out on Broadway, unravelling emotional trauma in a sci-fi dystopia, or stealing scenes in a dark crime drama – and winning an Emmy for it – Milioti brings a rare blend of vulnerability, wit and intensity to every role. Her career is a masterclass in versatility, and her story is one of quiet persistence, artistic risk-taking and a refusal to be typecast.</p>



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



<p>Born in Cherry Hill, New Jersey in 1985, young Cristin grew up in a close-knit Italian-American family. Her love for performance began early; she sang in bands, acted in school plays and spent summers at Long Lake Camp for the Arts in upstate New York, where she first realised that acting was more than a hobby – it was her calling. After high school, she briefly attended New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, dropping out to devote herself full-time to her career.</p>



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



<p>She began with a patchwork of commercials, guest spots on The Sopranos (2006-7), and regional theatre gigs. It was the stage that truly shaped her.&nbsp; Off-Broadway productions like Stunning (2009) and That Face (2010) showcased her emotional range and magnetic presence. She wasn’t just another aspiring actress; she was a performer with a distinct voice and a fearless approach to character work.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Once Upon a Tune</h3>



<p>Milioti’s breakthrough came in 2011 with the Broadway musical Once, where she played ‘Girl’, a Czech pianist, opposite Steve Kazee’s ‘Guy’. The show was a runaway hit, earning her a Tony Award nomination for Best Actress in a Musical and a Grammy Award for Best Musical Theatre Album. Her portrayal was luminous – equal parts quirky and heartbreaking – and it solidified her reputation as a singular talent with both vocal and dramatic chops.</p>



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



<p>Although she has now gravitated from musicals to dramas, she says: “I wish I were singing more. I really miss it a lot. It is the most open you can be.”</p>



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



<p>In 2013, she landed the role that would introduce her to millions: Tracy McConnell, a.k.a. ‘The Mother’, on CBS’s fan-favourite sitcom How I Met Your Mother. For years, viewers had speculated about the identity of Ted Mosby’s future wife, and Milioti’s arrival in the latter stages of the long-running saga was met with both excitement and scrutiny. She brought warmth, humour and emotional resonance to the role, and helped give the series a bittersweet, memorable conclusion.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">From Street to Sci-fi</h3>



<p>Milioti’s film career kicked into gear with a supporting role in Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street (2013). She held her own opposite Leonardo DiCaprio, delivering a performance that was both grounded and emotionally charged.</p>



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



<p>Continuing to choose eclectic projects, she starred opposite Andy Samberg in the critically acclaimed romantic comedy Palm Springs (2020) as a cynical wedding guest trapped in a time loop. Balancing existential dread with comedic timing, her performance was a revelation – funny, fierce and deeply human. “I do love something that has its tentacles in many genres,” she said of the movie.</p>



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



<p>In the HBO Max series Made for Love (2021–2022), she played a woman whose tech billionaire husband implanted a chip in her brain. Relaying grit and vulnerability, her performance anchored a show blending satire, sci-fi and emotional drama.</p>



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



<p>Milioti’s affinity for complex, genre-bending roles also found a perfect outlet in Black Mirror. In the 2017 episode USS Callister, her portrayal of a programmer reclaiming agency in a digital nightmare was widely praised, and she was excited to reprise it earlier this year in USS Callister: Into Infinity.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Mad Part</h3>



<p>Last year, she took on her most ambitious part yet: Sofia Falcone in HBO’s The Penguin, a spin-off from the 2022 film The Batman, with a prosthetics-disguised Colin Farrell in the titular role. She imbued Sofia – a cunning, ruthless player in Gotham’s criminal underworld – with layers of complexity. She wasn’t just a villain; she was a woman navigating power, legacy and survival.</p>



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



<p>“I’m such a huge Batman fan, so to just even be in this universe was a thrill, but to get to play this multi-layered villain, it was a dream,” she says. “Sofia is such a wonderful example where you get to see how she’s driven mad and how the world can drive someone mad, and how pain can drive people to do terrible things. I mean, that’s the world that we’re living in.”</p>



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



<p>Asked by the media during the show’s run how she felt her character was being received, she replied coyly: “I don’t read reviews. I’m too much of a scaredy cat. But I heard a general weather report that people like the show, and that was enough. Then, I stuck my head back in the sand. It’s always very nerve-racking to share your work with the world.”</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Power &amp; Passion</h3>



<p>Earning a Critics’ Choice Award, a Golden Globe nomination, and her first Emmy win for Best Actress in a Limited Series for The Penguin was a career-defining moment that confirmed what her fans had long known: Milioti is a powerhouse. She doesn’t just meet expectations; she exceeds them, often in unexpected ways.</p>



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



<p>Off-screen, she is a passionate advocate for animal adoption. She has worked with PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) to promote rescue efforts and is the proud owner of Rupert, a mixed-breed West Highland White Terrier. Her social media occasionally features Rupert’s antics, offering a glimpse into her personal life and her love for animals.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Camera Shy</h3>



<p>Adding to her creative footprint, Milioti has contributed to various soundtracks and musical projects, as well as animated series and audiobooks. Whether singing or narrating, her voice carries a distinct emotional texture that adds depth to every project. What she doesn’t like is watching her own performances or indulging in self-reflection: “It’s uncomfortable to ruminate on oneself in a public setting – but I find it uncomfortable even if it’s not public.”</p>



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



<p>She begins every new acting challenge, she says, “with a lot of anxiety over the possibility that I would be unable to meet the role or the project or the writing. I can get in a little bit of a tailspin. It’s an imposter syndrome thing, I think.”</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Flight &amp; Fight</h3>



<p>Post-Penguin, Cristin Milioti is poised for even higher-profile roles. Leads in the indie horror film Buddy and the FX series Seven Sisters are known to be on the horizon. What makes her so compelling is her refusal to be boxed in. At 40, she is not chasing fame or formulaic roles – she’s chasing stories that challenge her, characters that defy expectations, and projects that blur genre lines.</p>



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



<p>Drawn to narratives that explore the human condition in all its messy glory, and gravitating towards brilliant, damaged women fighting for control in chaotic worlds, she does it all with a mix of humour, heartbreak and steel.</p>


A Bird in Hand: After her mesmerising turn in The Penguin, Cristin Milioti’s eclectic career will fly higher and wilder

What’s on? Things to do this September in Hong Kong


<figure class="wp-block-video"><video controls src="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content.bak/uploads/2025/2508/2508_GMHK_porterhouse.mp4"></video></figure>



<p>An evening at Porterhouse is like stepping into the clouds – literally – and a whole new world of dining. Perched on the 24th floor of Lan Kwai Fong’s California Tower, this iconic restaurant has traded its traditional steakhouse roots for a lively, inclusive and visually stunning communal experience that perfectly captures Hong Kong’s vibrant multicultural spirit. With sweeping skyline views, a playful yet sophisticated atmosphere, and a menu that champions ‘Small Plates, Big Joy’, Porterhouse is redefining what it means to dine together in the city’s heart.</p>



<div class="wp-block-media-text alignwide has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile"><div class="wp-block-media-text__content">
<p>Executive Chef Michael ‘Mick’ Bolam, the well-travelled Australian culinary mastermind behind this transformation, outlines his vision: “Our focus is on creating simple, genuine dishes that showcase the quality of our ingredients.”</p>
</div><figure class="wp-block-media-text__media"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="766" height="1024" src="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/opt-4-Porterhouse-Rump-Roll-Unlimited-Steak-Dinner-2-1-766x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-87372 size-full" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/opt-4-Porterhouse-Rump-Roll-Unlimited-Steak-Dinner-2-1-766x1024.jpg 766w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/opt-4-Porterhouse-Rump-Roll-Unlimited-Steak-Dinner-2-1-210x280.jpg 210w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/opt-4-Porterhouse-Rump-Roll-Unlimited-Steak-Dinner-2-1-768x1026.jpg 768w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/opt-4-Porterhouse-Rump-Roll-Unlimited-Steak-Dinner-2-1-1150x1536.jpg 1150w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/opt-4-Porterhouse-Rump-Roll-Unlimited-Steak-Dinner-2-1-1533x2048.jpg 1533w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/opt-4-Porterhouse-Rump-Roll-Unlimited-Steak-Dinner-2-1-200x267.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/opt-4-Porterhouse-Rump-Roll-Unlimited-Steak-Dinner-2-1-800x1069.jpg 800w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/opt-4-Porterhouse-Rump-Roll-Unlimited-Steak-Dinner-2-1-scaled.jpg 1916w" sizes="(max-width: 766px) 100vw, 766px" /></figure></div>



<p>Sharing menus are inspiring and often daring. Ours begins with Milk of the Tiger, a delicate, fresh scallop bathed in buttermilk and coconut milk, topped with Mexican ancho chilli oil. It’s a beautiful way to awaken the senses, balancing sweetness with a smoky kick. As Bolam puts it, “Our dishes are about honest flavours; simple, genuine, yet refined.” You can really taste that philosophy here. This dish sets the tone for the evening: a celebration of fresh ingredients crafted with mindful simplicity.</p>

<div class="wp-block-media-text alignwide has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile"><div class="wp-block-media-text__content">
<p>Moving on, ‘Bang Bang’ Shrimp is an instant hit – crispy, spicy and coated in Chef Mick’s signature ‘danger sauce’. It’s the kind of snack that makes you want to double down and order more. The shrimp are wrapped in a flaky brik pastry that crunches satisfyingly with each bite, making it perfect for sharing. It’s one of those small plates that makes you feel like you’re part of a large, lively gathering rather than dining with just one close friend.</p>

<p>The menu’s fusion twist shines brightest with the next arrival, Uni Toast. Toasted charcoal bread cradles a generous heap of creamy sea urchin, topped with salmon roe and shiso leaf. It’s a luxurious bite that transports you straight to the coast, blending Asian oceanic flavours with a Western-style presentation. The chef explains: “We respect traditional techniques but aren’t afraid to push boundaries.” That’s evident here; it’s a dish that’s both familiar and fearless.</p>

<p>As our night out draws to a close, Chef Mick’s vision is crystal clear. “Creating memorable, culturally rich dining experiences isn’t just about the food,” he shares. “It’s about the stories we tell and the connections we make.” And true enough, at Porterhouse that vision is now soaring alongside the city’s breathtaking skyline.</p>

Steak Reclaimed: Sharing plates showcasing simple, honest flavours are the new dining highs at Porterhouse


<figure class="wp-block-video"><video controls src="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content.bak/uploads/2025/2507/2507_GMHK_Minato.mp4"></video></figure>



<p>Minato has been quietly redefining the Japanese dining experience since opening in Wan Chai last summer. It’s an oasis of the calm and contemplation where aficionados can immerse themselves in the seasonality, craftsmanship and quiet luxury of elevated teppanyaki, kaiseki, omakase and sushi.</p>

<p>The very name Minato, which means harbour in Japanese, sets the tone for an occasion that promotes refuge and cultural exchange. The urban hustle outside quickly fades into stillness as we are graciously steered through serene, spacious surroundings to our table. Shoji screens diffuse soft lighting, wooden elements add organic warmth, and a palette of calming green tones enhances the aura of elegant minimalism.</p>

<p>The Tsubaki Weekend Teppanyaki Dinner Set is also aptly named – the camellia (tsubaki) is a symbol of grace and beauty in Japanese culture, and the nine-course culinary journey we embark upon is as delicately balanced and elegantly structured as the flower.

<p>A meticulously plated appetiser prepares the stage for an artful presentation of toro, botan shrimp and striped jack flown in daily from Japan’s fish markets. The sashimi course is not just a tasting but a quiet meditation on freshness and balance.</p>



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



<p>The toro is rich and luxuriously marbled, melting on the tongue with a buttery smoothness that defines top-grade fatty belly of the bluefin tuna. Prized for its size and sweetness, the botan shrimp arrives with a translucent hue, its plump flesh offering a crisp snap and lingering ocean sweetness. The white trevally, with its clean, lightly oily profile, offers a refined contrast to the other two cuts.</p>

<p>Accompanying it is South African abalone, thinly sliced to preserve its tenderness yet retain its characteristic chewy texture and deep, mineral-rich flavour. Lightly seasoned and seared, the prized mollusc is a study in restraint, underscoring how expert technique and quality ingredients can speak volumes without embellishment.</p>

<p>At the heart of the Tsubaki set is Minato’s crown jewel: A5 Miyazaki sliced wagyu beef. Boasting a BMS (beef marbling score) of 12 – the highest rating – this world-renowned wagyu is sourced from Miyazaki Prefecture, where cattle are raised under strict conditions to deliver beef of incomparable quality. The wagyu is lightly seared and wrapped with garlic and green onion, a simple but brilliant pairing that enhances its umami depth without distracting from its intrinsic richness. The beef glistens as it hits the plate, and each bite yields an exquisite juxtaposition of seared outer edge and melting interior.</p>

<p>Then comes another house signature, Japanese pepper with whitebait fried rice, a dish as comforting as it is refined. With sansho pepper adding a gentle numbing tingle, the crispy whitebait offers bright, comforting contrast to the indulgent wagyu we have just enjoyed. Here again, the balance between richness and freshness is maintained with elegant precision – a hallmark of Japanese cuisine.</p>

<p>Arguably second only to Beijing opera in national prominence, Cantonese opera traces its roots back to the late 19th century, emerging in Guangdong province before flourishing in Hong Kong. At its core, it integrates music, theatrical performance, dance and martial arts, creating a multifaceted experience that encapsulates storytelling at its finest. As the genre evolved, it absorbed influences from other regional opera styles, as well as Western theatrical elements, refining its characteristic flair.</p>



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



<p>Also known as Yueju, this form of traditional Chinese opera gained immense popularity during the early 20th century, becoming a staple of local culture among the Cantonese-speaking population. The grand performances, staged in popular theatres or makeshift bamboo sheds, provided an escape from the everyday struggles of life. With poignant stories that reflected societal norms, family values and historical events, the artful spectacle became both a source of entertainment and a medium for social commentary.</p>

<p>Cantonese opera stands not only as an artistic expression but as a vital thread in the fabric of Hong Kong’s cultural identity. As we navigate the complexities of modern life, it is essential to recognize the opera’s role in fostering community bonds and nurturing a collective consciousness. The performances, rich in emotional depth and historical significance, invite audiences to reflect on their own lives while engaging with the moral dilemmas presented on stage. This connection transcends mere entertainment; it becomes a dialogue across generations, where stories of valor and virtue resonate with the struggles faced today.</p>



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



<p>To secure the future of this cherished art form, it is imperative that we actively engage with and support Cantonese opera in innovative ways. By integrating modern technology and contemporary themes into traditional narratives, we can attract younger audiences who might otherwise overlook this cultural gem. Educational programs, interactive workshops, and digital platforms can serve as gateways, allowing the youth to explore the intricacies of this art. Moreover, partnerships with schools and community organizations can spark interest and appreciation, ensuring that Cantonese opera is viewed not just as a relic of the past but as a vibrant and relevant medium of expression.</p>

<p>In doing so, we honour the legacy of those who came before us while paving the way for future storytellers and performers. Each note sung, each movement performed, is a celebration of resilience and creativity that deserves to endure.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Artistry for All</h3>



<p>As a reflection of Hong Kong’s rich cultural tapestry, Cantonese opera forms a vital link to the past. Through iconic narratives like <em>The Flower Princess and Legend of the Purple Hairpin</em>, audiences are transported to a time when valour, virtue and loyalty were celebrated virtues. The melodies resonate through the generations, keeping these stories alive while simultaneously fostering a collective memory within the community.</p>

<p>Often starting from a young age, performers train rigorously to master not just the intricate movements but also the subtle nuances of vocal and physical expression. The elaborate costumes and distinctive makeup serve as essential components, allowing them to embody characters that speak to the complexity of human nature. The evocative music requires skilful playing of traditional Chinese instruments like the erhu, pipa and gong. This artistry encapsulates not only the beauty of performance but also the craftsmanship and dedication embedded within the tradition.</p>



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



<p>Beyond being purely an entertainment medium, Cantonese opera serves as a mirror reflecting societal issues, acting as a platform for dialogue. Historical tales often interweave moral lessons, encouraging audiences to ponder their own lives and the world around them.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Diminishing Stage</h3>



<p>As with many traditional art forms, Yueju faces a myriad of challenges in the modern era. The pace of urbanisation, shifting entertainment preferences, and the rise of technology have led to a gradual decline in audiences and venues. Many local troupes and historic opera venues like the Ko Shing Theatre and the Sunbeam Theatre have closed down, leaving a void in the cultural landscape.</p>

<p>For older people, Cantonese opera signifies a profound connection to their heritage, especially as they witness younger members of the family drawn to more contemporary forms of entertainment. The gap between generations poses a profound threat to its continuity. Without intervention and support, the vibrant echoes of this once-thriving art could fade into silence.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Guardians of Tradition</h3>



<p>Efforts to preserve Cantonese opera’s legacy are underway. The Hong Kong Arts Festival has embaked upon a three-year initiative to promote the ancient art form, which kicked off this year with a series of programmes curated by local maestro Yuen Siu-fai. It played its part in 2023 too, premiering <em>Love in the Bamboo Grove</em>, a new Cantonese opera penned by Raymond To.</p>



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



<p>Cultural organisations, universities and community centres can also be instrumental by offering workshops and performances that engage younger audiences, igniting their interest in the art form. Collaborations between traditional opera troupes and contemporary artists can bridge the old and the new, instilling pride in local heritage among today’s youth.</p>



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



<p>Major venues like the Xiqu Centre in the West Kowloon Cultural District offer a platform for renowned troupes to showcase their talent. Last month, for instance, veteran performers Mao Weitao and Chen Huiling joined hands as the visiting all-women Zhejiang Xiaobaihua Yue Opera Troupe took to the stage. With a focus on promoting traditional performances, the Xiqu Centre plays a significant role in elevating the status of Yueju within the cultural landscape. Annual cultural events such as the Chinese Opera Festival and the more experimental Black Box Chinese Opera Festival provide further opportunities for enriching performances.</p>

<p>Initiatives to promote inter-generational dialogue, outreach programmes and innovative performances that interlace tradition with contemporary relevance can rekindle interest in this ancient art. Pop-up performances in public spaces, digital media outreach and collaborations with schools can not only draw in younger audiences eager to experience this vibrant tradition, but also draw together diverse audiences, creating a sense of community and shared cultural identity. By supporting and attending these events, the public can help sustain the traditions that define Hong Kong.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Cultural Phoenix</h3>



<p>The road ahead for Cantonese opera entails both challenges and opportunities. The art form stands at a pivotal moment where it can either thrive anew or face further decline. By collective effort and cherishing this art as a critical aspect of Hong Kong’s identity and cultural heritage, we can ensure it continues to enchant and inspire future generations.</p>



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



<p>As we move through this era of rapid change, it is crucial to remember that Cantonese opera is not merely an art form confined to the stages of yesteryear. It embodies the heazrt and soul of Hong Kong, reflecting its struggles, triumphs and unique identity. For those who dare to embrace its complexities, the nostalgia of the past weaves into the fabric of contemporary culture, creating a narrative that is still unfolding.</p>



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



<p>By recognising the cultural significance of Cantonese opera, actively participating in its preservation, and celebrating its vibrancy, we ensure that these resounding echoes of heritage will continue to thrive in the dynamic heart of Hong Kong, maintaining the legacy of a beloved tradition for generations to come.</p>

<p>Chopin&#8217;s piano music is utterly enchanting. His works stand between the Classical and Romantic eras &#8211; both romantic yet retaining the purity of Classicism, deeply moving while preserving the timeless elegance of the classical tradition. He composed many captivating pieces without titles, only categorized by genre, such as nocturnes, waltzes, impromptus, mazurkas, and polonaises. During his time, the hallmark of Romanticism was the use of ‘programmatic titles,’ so strictly speaking, Chopin was not entirely a Romantic composer.</p>

<p>A joyous spectacle luring crowds to the waterfront, the Tuen Ng Festival is embedded deep into the fabric of Hong Kong’s cultural life. It pays homage to Qu Yuan, a famed poet in ancient China who threw himself into the Miluo river, spurring villagers to race out in their boats in a vain attempt to save him. Traditional cuisine in the form of joong or zongzi – sticky rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves – is served to mark the occasion and celebrate his life and times.</p>

<p>Soak up a soul-cleansing ceremony imbued with huge religious significance. Marking the Buddha’s birthday, this tradition is founded on the belief that nine dragons appeared and sprayed fragrant water over the newly born infant. To honour the significance of this act and reach a higher state of purity, the Buddhist faithful assist in the ritual bathing of a statue of the baby Buddha at Lantau’s Po Lin Monastery. Eating bitter green cookies before and after the birthday is thought to aid spiritual healing. </p>
