对于时尚设计师Marie France Van Damme来说，度假是严肃的商务活动。Marie France Van Damme拥有以自己的名字命名的高端度假服饰系列。这位常驻香港的空中飞人向《华尔街日报》讲述了她最喜欢的亚洲酒店，她梦想的度假目的地，以及旅行中保持时尚的建议。你多久乘坐一次飞机?几乎每个月。我一年要飞去欧洲四次，至少去美国三次，还要回加拿大蒙特利尔的老家。我每两个月会去一次普吉岛。最常去的地方是哪？我在伦敦的马里波恩有一套小公寓，这是我最喜欢的目的地之一。我在普吉岛上有一艘船。我尽可能多地去那里享受假期。

2013年有什么旅行计划吗？我从来没去过伊斯坦布尔。我非常想去那，也想尽早去参观吴哥窟(Angkor Wat)。我最喜欢的旅游目的地是马拉喀什和圣彼得堡，两个完全不同的城市，但是在这两个城市我从来都不会厌倦。我可以在马拉喀什的德吉玛广场(Djemaa el-Fna Square)度过每一个傍晚。我总喜欢回到熟悉的地方。你觉得亚洲最好的酒店是？我是安缦(Aman)的铁杆粉丝，因此我觉得亚洲最好的酒店是普吉岛的阿曼布里酒店。如果你的预算没有那么多，同一片海滩的素辇府酒店也是不错的选择。安缦酒店(Amanresorts)去年收购了素辇府酒店，并对其进行了彻底的翻新。你最喜欢去亚洲的哪个地方购物？曼谷的Chatuchak周末市场，因为那里的商品种类丰富得超乎想象。有30个不同的区域，包括服装、饰品、工艺品、古董、收藏品和家居装饰品。你可以逛上整整一天。你最喜欢亚洲的哪个海滨度假区？泰国甲米的莱利(Railay)附近的海滩。那里有白色的珊瑚沙和美丽清澈的海水。你在旅行期间的最棒的发现是什么？摩洛哥坚果油。对干性皮肤非常有好处，洗完澡之后涂在身上就行了。也可以按摩在头发上，保持几个小时，像做发膜那样。效果很神奇，在摩洛哥的任何露天市场都能买到。你收拾行李时有什么诀窍？行装轻便是很重要的，所以我通常带的都是白天和夜里都能穿的衣服。旅行中我只穿一种颜色，通常是黑色，因为黑色很好与其他衣物搭配。在打包之前，我先在地板上搭配出10套衣服。我通常把所有事都记下来。在旅行中如何保持时尚？我穿这种非常肥大的喇叭裤，不仅时尚舒服，而且总是看起来像新的一样。比如我在香港换上一件喇叭裤，在去伦敦的12个小时路途中睡觉时也穿着它，抵达马里波恩后，当我在我最喜欢的咖啡店吃早饭时，它们看起来仍然很新。可以配一件白色T恤和长款黑色开襟毛衫。我从来不会忘记带上我的11号香奈儿(Chanel)唇膏，只是在嘴唇上淡淡地涂一层颜色，还有维多利亚•贝克汉姆 (Victoria Beckham)风格的大黑太阳镜。最后，也是最重要的，我总会带上一条大的黑色羊毛围巾，在飞机上可以拿它当毯子用。你怎样克服时差引起的不适？我很幸运──我几乎没有什么不适。在长时间飞行时，最重要的是要睡好觉。如果我要坐16个小时的飞机去纽约，我就会努力在飞机上尽可能多地睡觉。如果我要乘12个小时的飞机去伦敦，这12个小时我都会睡觉，这样早上抵达伦敦时，可以像在香港一样开始新的一天。我一般强迫我自己马上按照新的时区作息，即使这样很难受。这包括在我正常的入睡时间之前要一直保持清醒。与一些人不同，我喜欢长时间飞行，因为这时你除了睡觉、读书和看电影没别的事情可做。这是唯一一个可以彻底放松的时间，没人能找得到你。你认为旅行时最重要的注意事项是什么？早点去机场。旅行之前你会有很多理由感到焦虑，所以不要在最后一秒钟才急急忙忙赶到机场。很多事情可能会出错──交通状况，座位出了问题、签证。如果你早点到，你就有时间在吧台享受一杯不错的香槟，买一本好书，放松。毕竟，你是在度假。

Road Warrior provides travel tips from those who know best: busy executives and other globetrotters. See previous columns

For fashion designer Marie France Van Damme, the woman behind the eponymous line of luxury resort wear, going on vacation is serious business. The Hong Kong-based globe-trotter spoke with the Journal about her favorite hotels in Asia, her dream holiday destinations and tips for looking stylish on the road.

How often are you up in the air?

Almost every month. I fly to Europe four times a year, and to the U.S. at least three times, as well as to Montreal, Canada, my hometown. I fly to Phuket every two months.

Most frequent destination?

I have a small apartment in London in Marylebone, which is one of my favorite destinations. I also have my boat in Phuket. I try to go there and enjoy it as often as possible.

Any travel-related resolutions for 2013?

I have never been to Istanbul. I would love to go, as well as visit Angkor Wat as soon as possible. My favorite destinations are Marrakesh and St. Petersburg─two completely different cities, but I can never get enough of each. I could spend weeks at the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, and I could spend every late afternoon at the Djemaa el-Fna Square in Marrakesh. I tend to always go back to the same places.

Best hotel in Asia?

I am an ''Aman-junkie,'' so I would have to say the Amanpuri hotel in Phuket. If your budget does not stretch that far, the Surin hotel next door on the same beach is a great alternative. Amanresorts took it over last year and renovated it completely.

Favorite place to shop in Asia?

Chatuchak weekend market in Bangkok, for its incredible variety. There are 30 different sections from clothing and accessories to handicrafts, antiques, collectibles, and home décor. Plan on spending the whole day.

All-time favorite beach destination in Asia?

The beaches near Railay in Krabi, Thailand. They''re white coral sand, and have beautiful clear water.

Best discovery during your travels?

Argan oil from Morocco. It''s great for dry skin─just apply it all over your body after you shower. You can even work it into your hair and keep it in for a few hours as a hair mask. It''s miraculous, and you can find it in any souk in Morocco.

What''s your packing strategy?

Packing light is essential, so I always bring clothes that work from day to night. I chose one color for the trip and one only, and it''s usually black because everything works well with black. Before packing, I create 10 looks with a few pieces by putting them on the floor and arranging them into outfits. I always note everything down.

Any tips on staying stylish on the road?

I wear these very large jersey pajama pants that not only look stylish and comfortable, but they always look fresh. For instance, I''ll slip them on in Hong Kong, sleep in them for 12 hours on my way to London, arrive in Marylebone, go out for breakfast to my favorite coffee shop, and still look chic! Wear them with a white T-shirt and a long black cardigan.

And I never forget my No. 11 Chanel lip gloss─just a hint of color on my lips and my big black sunglasses for the Victoria Beckham look. Finally, and most importantly, I always bring a large black cashmere scarf that can be used as blanket on the plane.

How do you beat jet lag?

I''m lucky─I rarely have jet lag. The key to long-haul flights is sleep. If I''m on a 16-hour flight to New York, I''ll try and sleep as much as I can on the flight. If I have a 12-hour flight to London, I will sleep those 12 hours, land in London in the morning and start my day as if I was in Hong Kong. I immediately force myself into the new time zone, even if it kills me. That includes staying up until my normal bedtime. Unlike some, I actually love flying long-haul because there''s nothing you can do except sleep, read and watch movies. It''s the only time you can completely relax─no one can reach you.

Essential travel tip?

Get to the airport early! There are so many reasons to stress before a trip so don''t make it worse by rushing to the airport at the last minute. So many things can go wrong─traffic, a problem with your seat, visas. And it you get there early, you have time to enjoy a nice glass of champagne at the bar, buy yourself a good book and relax. You''re on holiday after all.
