Earlier this year Prestige Hong Kong did a feature and shoot with some of Hong Kong's top movers and shakers under 40.
Among a whole list of them, I had the joy and privilege to submit a list of notable names; people I've worked with in the past, interviewed, met on multiple occasions. There were 40 people, but a special shout out to rugby player Jonny Rees, race car driver Dan Wells, dancer Faye Leung, documentary maker Sean Lee Davies and designer Harrison Wong. All of whom are seen here in pics.

An initiative launched by Prestige Singapore in the summer of 2014,
Prestige Singapore's 40 Under 40 first started with a humble list of young entrepreneurs, artists, chefs, restaurateurs, businessmen, women and so on shaking up who were shaking up their industry, all full of youthful zest, new ideas, fresh takes and unpoppable enthusiasm.
Prestige relaunched and expanded regionally around 2022, but the 40 Under 40 list for Singapore predates that as a local initiative and has remained a mainstay across the board on all Prestige/Burda titles.
Hong Kong Tatler (now under Tatler Asia) launched Gen.T (Generation T, the Leaders of Tomorrow list) soon after in 2016. The inaugural list debuted in 2016 across Asia (including Hong Kong), with 2016 honourees highlighted retrospectively, and by 2025 it reached its 10th edition (aligning with a 2016 start: 2016 + 9 years = 2025 as the 10th). It began as a Singapore Tatler project but quickly became regional, including a dedicated Hong Kong focus from the outset or very soon after.
The Hong Kong list has such humble beginnings, images taken from social media (with the approval of the honourees obviously), and soon became this behemoth that means something to people. So much so, we've had people lie about their age to make the cut. You know who you are...
