A

s recent as ten years ago, cosmetic

treatments were once only associated with the

rich and famous since they were priced out-of-range

for the average person. On top of which, these treatments

were in aesthetic clinics which were very likely to be located

in posh neighbourhoods or shopping districts.

With 200+ businesses offering varying levels of medical

aesthetic services in British Columbia, it is fair to say that

the above no longer holds true. Enter innovators,

such as Chobee Marketing MD Founder and CEO

Lancho Cephivenus, who has identified this beauty niche

and is capitalizing on it.

8

Cephivenus is a millennial with a cause?to turn the

traditional non-inclusive aesthetics industry upside down

with a modern approach that brings everyone to the table,

not just a select few, and connect them in a way that is

accessible, portable, and connected.

8


Cephivenus was 27 years old when he launched Chobee

Aesthetic Marketing. He had a goal of providing the burgeoning

medical aesthetic industry in Vancouver unique customized

marketing solutions for doctors and clinics that were struggling

using generic pre-packaged products and out-of-date social

media campaigns. The response was overwhelming, and what

was once a ?young man with a plan?has grown into a company

employing/contracting with 20+ persons.

Key to this growth was assembling the Chobee team, not as a

traditional professional unit, but as a cohesive group of

creatives, is what Cephivenus credits as the core of the

company?s success.

?Our team is creatively strong, experienced, and growing. The

Chobee approach is a refreshing alternative to the tired

traditional marketing of medical aesthetics in this competitive

time. The businesses that we chose to work with benefit

immensely, both in customer/staff satisfaction and financially. It

is very gratifying."

8

8

9


It is this style of leadership,

and progressive thinking which

has strengthened the position

of over 25 companies across

Canada. By identifying gaps in

existing business models that

were improved upon, clients

were able to generate

additional revenue of over

$10M in the past year alone.

In the queue for joining the

Chobee roster are ten clinics

within BC and from across

Canada, and as a conceptualist,

Cephivenus is designing four

client clinics which will be

constructed in Richmond,

Burnaby, Surrey, and White

Rock.

10

Cephivenus, the Chobee team, and the clients, work together

on dynamic marketing campaigns which champion an

omnichannel approach that may?depending on the client

market?incorporate video and photography production, social

media campaigns, website development/revisualizing,

WeChat/KOL strategies, print and digital media, street-level

marketing, and so much more?all available in a selection of

languages.

Making himself and the team available at major industry

conferences to speak and educate is another key element that

Cephivenus utilizes to reach the aesthetics market. In just the

10

past year, he presented at the Western Canada Aesthetic

Summit 2019, Fotona StarWalker Product Launch, and the

Prollenium Annual Event.

Cephivenus credits his two passions for the success of Chobee.

?My participation in the fine arts since childhood and the study

of business in Canada has given me a unique advantage over

others in this market. Using beauty, whether it is in video,

photography, words, or the type of models we work with, comes

very naturally for me.


At the end of the day, medical aesthetics is all about beauty,

and this is my life.?

Before Chobee

After graduating high school, Cephivenus took on a creative

role at a well-known Chinese fashion website followed by a

stint as a magazine producer, during which time he developed

an artistic portfolio of his style of collage that married digital

imagery and deconstructed pressed flowers.

In 2011, Cephivenus was invited by the Taipei International

Flora Exposition to exhibit a series of his mixed media works

based on modern Chinese bird-and-flower paintings. The

exhibition was very well received, and this success helped

Lancho become well known in the international art circle.

Cephivenus?next step in his career, was to participate in a

2012 Arts competition organized by the world-renowned artist

Murakami Takashi. Placing 7th out of 500 participants saw

him debut at a joint exhibition in Takashi?s Hidari Zingaro

Gallery.

10

10

By 2013, he had presented at

a total of seven exhibitions

(two solo and four group

shows in Taipei, one traveling

group show in Canada), plus

multiple speaking

engagements with

accompanying press. This

experience at such a young

age helped him develop a

keen perception of aesthetics

and the ability to adapt to

high-pressure working

environments, and facilitated

the desire to relocate to

Vancouver.

11

12


On the Horizon

Exciting changes are on the medical

aesthetics horizon due to Cephivenus

and his vision for success. By creating

and maintaining strong communication

with the physicians and the clinic

owners, he is able to provide solutions

for problems that only recently have

begun to present in the industry.

Priority has been given to first

addressing the desire of beauty centres,

and health spa?s to tap into the revenue

stream that injectables, such as Botox

and fillers, can generate. The creation

of Chobee?s ?Injector Express?allows

businesses to offer full injectable

services without having to employ

full-time physicians and procure/stock

inventory, as this can be financially

daunting to new or smaller sized

companies.

?Injector Express?currently contracts

two persons, a certified physician and a

registered nurse, who are licensed to

perform treatments and are available on

an as-needed basis.

12

12

If a company experiences a strong

response from their client-base through

the use of ?Injector Express?and wishes

to make the service permanent, Chobee

will work with them to recruit a

physician to join their team, train the

staff on services and inventory

management, and create stellar

marketing campaigns.

to the visual marketing tools we create.?

Stefania Volpi

The Creat ive Genius Behind Alt aModa It alia

AltaModa Italia is defined by the glamorous,

luxurious, and wonderfully eclectic pieces created in

Southern Italy by expert artisan craftspersons at the

behest of founders Stefani and Riccardo Volpi.

Since 1998, the couple?s irreverent vision has melded fashion and

design to create unmistakable items which showcase uniqueness,

distinction, and have a visual impact, regardless of which room the

pieces reside within.

The often whimsical furniture pieces are crafted with luxurious

fabrics by the Ralph Lauren and Christian Lacroix Collections,

velvet, silk, and incorporate various precious metals, including

silver and gold, rhinestones, and crystals. From the living room to

the children?s room, AltaModa Italia offers a parade of brilliant

top-class creations.

Inspired, sometimes by the simplest concepts, the Volpi?s have the

ability to transfer an idea into tangible home décor with a tailored

style and approach, often typical of fashion design. The duo

marries fashion and design aesthetics to create a new

interpretation of subjects that we may see and pass by without a

second glance. Each reveling in the tiniest detail until it becomes a

critical element in the realization of a unique piece.

The installation at Salon del Mobile.Milano 2019 was hosted by

Stefania Volpi and her team. The vibrant space was bedecked by

latest collection ?Beach?which was inspired by Italy?s extensive

shorelines, quirky and colourful aquatic animals, and the lush plant

life that thrives underwater, and washes up upon rocky shores.

Each element is interpreted with a childlike ardor that results in a

representation that is a brilliantly fantastical version of reality.

Volpi delights in the speaking to the brand?s newest offerings

created for ?children, the teenager, or for a little boy. All elements

are here, even the fragrance we produced for the home is similar

to the beach in Tuscany with the scents of flower, fruit, and

blackberries. Through it, you can sense all the dimensions of the

sea, with the wind, the sand, and the beach.?

When not traveling for business, Stefania is at home in

the Tuscan country- side, living and overseeing

production at the AltaModa Italia workshop. It is a

different style of workplace. It is one that revolves

around the concept of family, living a full life, and the

pursuit of happiness. Employees are free to bring their

babies and children to work as needed; together, they eat

and create side-by-side.

Pieces that require hand-painted details are finished by a

single artisan who works from her home. ?This woman

prefers to work in the country-side with all her animals

around, a very typical Tuscany artist,? says Volpi as she

smiles, taking pride in the traditions of her country.

It is this sense of family that inspires Stefania to arise

and get creative in the kitchen, baking up cookies and

other confections to bring to the workplace for all to

enjoy with their morning coffee. She believes strongly in

the creation and maintenance of a warm and

encompassing workplace and explains that ?the feeling

must be good for everybody who works with our family.?

Around the world, AltaModa Italia is renowned for its

collections that inspire a way to live in a luxury-oriented

environment that is expressive, sophisticated, amazing,

and unique.

The charm of the AltaModa Italia children?s collections

has made them irresistible to those who enjoy an

unbridled exploration of pattern and texture. This true

?Made in Italy?home decor brand is available in North

America through stockists like Casa Italia Concept in

Vancouver, New York, and Miami. Internationally, the

brand has representation in dozens of countries,

including the UK, Finland, Belarus, Russia, Nigeria,

Uzbekistan, Saudi Arabia, India, and Greece.

hen looking for

comparisons to finely crafted

timepieces, only luxury vehicles

come close, so much so that

collector Jay Leno was inspired

to write a book on it. Leno likens

it to ?a patient art form? and

though people who know

nothing about fine mechanical

watches can still appreciate their

quality because ?mechanical

devices are just inherently

fascinating,? and we agree.

The west coast is known

internationally for being a haven

of hypercars, the ostentatious

showpieces that scream, albeit in

a velvety voice, ?look at me, look

at me,?as they circle the

downtown core. Less apparent is

Vancouver?s love affair with

haute horlogerie.

RedBarYVR is part of the

world?s largest watch enthusiast

and collector community with

40+ chapters across four

continents and meets regularly

to share their passion for the

manifestations of intricacy and

design which adorn their wrists.

The founders of Sixofour Life

join this group often and are

very unique, in that they are the

only west coast members to

have created an exemplary line

of luxury timepieces for retail.

Who are Sixofour Life?

Growing up in Vancouver,

Caleb Lee and Steve Jin met

as teenagers, have maintained a

strong friendship, and a love of

luxury timepieces. Their

company, Sixofour Life, is a

partnership that is backed by

Caleb?s 16 years of experience

and knowledge in the art of

Swiss luxury watches and

Steve?s work as a technology

producer with Apple, one of the

world?s most recognized brands.

Together they produced their

sold-out first collection

SWC1988, so named to honour

their graduation from

Sir Winston Churchill High

School in 1988.

Bringing the world a high quality,

luxury lifestyle brand of watches

is no small feat for Lee and Jin,

as the home base for this

industry is thousands of miles

away in Switzerland. The

country is the birthplace of the

legendary houses of horlogerie ?

Breitling, IWC, Hublot,

Vacheron Constantin, Patek

Philippe, Audemars Piguet, the

list is endless - whose timepieces

28

28


become part of the historical record by

fetching astronomical amounts at

auction.

Sixofour Life timepieces are a reflection

and homage to the continually changing

life on the Canadian west coast.

The founders wanted to create a

unique style and aesthetic that

reflects the city?s growing place

on the world?s stage as a luxury

destination and firmly grounded

on the things that make living in

BC so amazing: the sea, the sky,

the majestic mountains.

The Series One watches have

automatic movement (Miyota

8200 Series), sapphire crystal

glass, open back glass, AISI

certified 316L stainless steel,

and water 28resistant to 50m.

28

When asked what sets

Sixofour Life watches

apart from the

competition, Caleb

shares three points.

?We believe that in our

design, we have made

something that feels

both modern and

vintage simultaneously.

Our watches reflect an

affordable luxury that

allows them to be

accessible to a wider

audience.

29


Lastly, our experience in the Swiss

luxury watch industry. That ability to

navigate an industry that very few

people have been a part of gives us an

advantage when sourcing materials,

parts, and manufacturers.?

The brand has garnered a fistful of

brand ambassadors who are known for

strength, power, and determination. NBA

Sacramento Kings' Frank Mason III, NFL

corner back Justin Bethel of the

Baltimore Ravens, UFC Featherweight

Champion Max Holloway, 12th ranked

UFC fighter Felice Herrig, rising hip hop

artist DKay, and Vancouver-based Juno

award-winning musician Moka Only.

Moka Only only recently reconnected

with his passion for luxury timepieces

and has been busy building his

collection.

The relationship between the musician

and the makers began in early 2018

after Moka Only came across the

Sixofour Life Instagram account. An

exchange followed, and a dinner meeting

solidified the new friendship and the

presentation of an ambassadorship

watch.

?Steve and Caleb make a great team,

and with the combination of a great

product and the visuals, I feel they have

really captured the essence of

Vancouver. The colourways on the dials

of the watches and the cushion case

design caught my fancy right off the

bat, not to mention the ?area themes?

that go along with the models and

colours. My personal fave has been the

?Robson Violet.?I get a lot of wear out of

it and a lot of attention.?

Their artistry is truly derived from

experience, rather than from being

school taught, and their manual skills

go hand-in-hand with the study of

secrets that only Master craftsmen

can pass down from generation to

generation.

The original designs are always

created by-hand, first sketched in

pencil by Stefano Ricci himself, and

then passed to the silversmiths.

The exquisite bowls, serving platters,

plates, and vases, all contain

depictions of nature?s strongest

animals, including the company?s

eagle icon, lions, giant octopus,

elephants, and more.

36

36

The pair works in tandem, creating

pieces from hand using only a pencil,

marker, tar, chisels, and various

hammering tools. The output is

relative to each project undertaken?a

chalice can take one week, a tray

around 15 days, and an incredible

centerpiece a month or more.

The sketches are first applied to the

silver, which is then tapped out from

the inside of the vessel. Once

complete, the vessel is filled with tar,

and the exterior is sculpted. Each

piece is polished to perfection and set

aside for inspection. This routine is

completed day-after-day by the two

who have made it their passion to

continue the trade of their fathers.

37


On your next visit to the Stefano Ricci

boutique in Vancouver?s Luxury Zone, take

note of the arrangement on the entry table. Below

bowl is resplendent with an intricately chiseled

biblical story of the procession of the animals to th

On a beautiful May evening,

Livingspace celebrated their

30th anniversary with a grand reveal

event that showcased a $2-million

expansion and renovation.

44

The luxury home décor retailer grew to an

incredibly impressive 30,000-square-foot

from a somewhat paltry 19,000-square-feet.

The launch event was a wonderfully warm

celebration which included suppliers, brand

partners from Europe, the cities top interior

designers, and VIPs.

44


Owner Ross Bonetti welcomed Maria Porro of

Porro S.p.A, Alessandro and Susanna Minotti of

Minotti S.p.A, Carola Bestetti, CEO/Designer of

Living Divani, Carolina Lanzani, owner of MDF

Italia, and we want to give a special shout-out to

the always impeccably dressed Aleem Kassam of

Kalu Interiors.

?After 30 years in business, we felt a complete

redesign was the perfect way to celebrate and to

assure our customers we plan to get better with

age,? said Bonetti. ?We're thrilled to showcase

Paola Lenti and Molteni&C/ Dada - some of the

best Italian designers in the world - in a unique

space that authentically captures the spirit of

these iconic brands.?

Housed in a 1930's-era printing factory in the

Armoury District of Vancouver, the Livingspace

expansion involved adding the fifth floor to its

showroom. Guests delighted in partaking in a

?Vespa tour?around the Grand Milano Cathedral,

coming upon the unexpected rooftop garden

courtyard, and discovering the power of the lime

green Lamborghini Huracan LP580 Coupe

alongside the orange Aperol Aperitivo soda

fountain.

44

44


46

Paola Lenti, renowned for its

sophisticated use of colour and

innovative materials, features both

indoor and outdoor furniture set

against the original, industrial

factory space. In contrast,

Canada's first Molteni&C/Dada

monobrand showroom offers a

more refined and intimate

experience as you move through

the space with individual room-like

settings revealing the latest in

kitchens, closets, and furniture.

Throughout the renovation

process, Livingspace worked

diligently to ensure its coveted

heritage location was preserved,

and the result is a gorgeous

contemporary layout that is

purposefully juxtaposed with the

building's nearly century-old

history.

46


I

? t's been an incredible 30 years. We are so fortunate to

work with sought-after designers and suppliers who have an

incredible talent for balancing art and design. It is extremely

heartwarming to witness the support shown by these key players

in the interior design world for Vancouver's burgeoning home

design and décor industry.?

Since opening its doors in 1988, Livingspace has evolved from a

furniture-only retailer to a one-stop destination for building a

picture-perfect modern lifestyle. The Vancouver-based retailer is

already looking towards the future with the anticipated arrival of a

Minotti monobrand showroom later this year.

To experience Livingspace's impressive redesign,

visit the showroom between Monday and Saturday,

at 1706 West 1st Avenue in Vancouver, BC.

lamps, vibrant hand-woven carpets,

cufflink-inspired mirrors, and limited

edition (and incredibly pricy) side-tables

inspired by a 1983 Karl Lagerfeld FF

logo doodle [1]. Upholstered sofas, in

materials including marbles and onyxes,

metallic surfaces, and unexpected colour

combinations, were the stars of the

collection, around which all other pieces

resided.

The colour palette is characterized by

Cape Town in South Africa, evoking

nature in powder blues, greens, neutral

gradations of grey, and splashes of

saturated colour applied to textile

accessories and complementary

furnishing items.

Individual pieces were robust with details like Selleria

piping, zippers on the sofa and chair upholstery, the FE

bag buttons, and the iconic logo F is FENDI logo, struct

fabrics and three-dimensional patterns, and graphic det

and lines.

Stand-out pieces included the new Anna Armchair [2]

inspired by Fendi?s global office building - the Palazzo

della Civiltà Italiana, which is one of Rome?s most icon

structures, and the Thea Chair [3] which can also be

54

found in the 2019 outdoor collection [4]?a whole line o

comfortable stylish furniture which is 100% animal-free

and vegan!

Bugatti Home, perhaps the most

eagerly awaited luxury collection

of 2019, showcased an extremely

hi-tech, contemporary line to the public, which

interprets the values of the hyper sports cars

brand founded in 1909 in Molsheim, Alsace

by Ettore Bugatti.

Everything in the collection, which bears the

signatures of two of the most prestigious

international designers, Carlo Colombo and

Toan Nguyen, alludes to performance,

technology and elegance, essential features of

the prestigious Bugatti hyper sports cars.

Exclusive upholsteries, the rare Sodalite gemstone, a

reminder of Bugatti Blue, Striato Olimpico marble, and

incredibly soft high-performance technical fabrics enable

luxury and technology to be combined.

The curves that made the French automotive company

immortal provide the inspiration for the sinuous profiles

from the walls and windows to the wood paneling and

carpets, putting the details of the collection in the spotlight.

At the pinnacle of high horology and understated

elegance, the Maison Vacheron Constantin creates

timepieces with unique technical and aesthetic signatures and an

extremely high level of finishing touches.

The luxury Swiss timepiece Maison, with over two hundred and sixty

years of heritage, launched its first Western Canada boutique on

prestigious Alberni Street in Vancouver?s Luxury Zone.

64

Alberni Street is recognized as one of Canada?s most desirable

luxury retail addresses, offering a convenient shopping experience

and proximity to hundreds of best-in-class retailers, in keeping with

Vacheron Constantin?s high level of sophistication and commitment

to outstanding customer service.


The interior of the boutique is imbued with

elegance and noble materials ? wood,

bronze and leather ? which create a

hushed, discreetly luxurious atmosphere.

This is the Maison?s seventh opening in

North America, Toronto, Beverley Hills,

Costa Mesa, Las Vegas, New York, and

Miami.

Built upon a legacy of innovation and the

pursuit of excellence, each timepiece is

crafted in Geneva, Switzerland with care

and passion by the finest watchmakers and

craftspersons.

Known for achieving monumental technical

feats as well as timepieces with beautiful

finishing, the new downtown boutique

carries the entire range of watches, as well

as boutique-exclusive models, and offers

the rare Les Cabinotiers service, which

makes bespoke pieces tailored to the

client?s desires, and one-of-a-kind

masterpieces.

?We are delighted to have the opportunity

to serve Canadians in British Columbia with

a new boutique strategically located in the

Alberni luxury district. The Western location

will serve to complement our existing East

coast Toronto, Ontario boutique and

enhance our Canadian client?s

understanding of Vacheron Constantin, and

the Maison?s commitment to belle haute

horlogerie,? said Leslie Kobrin, Vacheron

Constantin President of the Americas.

In May, Sharp Magazine gathered an

exclusive group of west coast watch

collectors and VVIPs to preview the latest

Vacheron Constantin?s timepieces, including

the new Fiftysix and Patrimony blue dial

watches.

65


The on-location event was followed

by an intimate dinner at the

award-winning and internationally

renowned Hawksworth Restaurant,

under the deft guidance of chef

Stephanie Noel.

Each dish was inspired by a

different Vacheron Constantin

watch, such as the Fiftysix, for

which Chef Noel created the second

course consisting of a sweet pea

agnolotti with morels and white

asparagus.

n just a few years, Dr. Christopher Pavlou

has become one of Vancouver?s leading

aesthetics doctors, due in no small part by continually

updating his practice to include the latest advances in

medical aesthetics and medical grade skincare products.

He also travels the world as an invited guest speaker,

trains in new treatments and technologies, and

endeavours to bring the most up-to-date treatments to

his patients in Vancouver.

When planning to launch Skin Technique, Dr. Pavlou

wanted to create a space where both patients and staff

would enjoy coming to. An environment that was both

inspiring and aesthetically beautiful.
