NEW YEAR, SAME RESOLVE

When speaking to Tiffany Chan, I get the feeling she’s a fun-loving, unserious type who seems to be a little bogged down by problems she’s still trying to solve [writes Editor-inChief Stephanie Ip]. And, of course, she would be – as she says herself,...

VOICE OF AN ANGEL

I’m not ashamed to admit I grew up with Joey Yung’s music [writes Prestige editor-in-chief Stephanie Ip]. When I described in the cover story on page 50 the anthems we’d sing – yes that’s me, shaking my pom-poms away at cheerleading practice to her...

NOT JUST A PRETTY FACE

Takamasa Ishihara, better known by his stage name Miyavi, started out in Japan’s music industry in the late 1990s as a member of the visual-kei band Dué le Quartz, who were known as much for their androgynous style, inspired by ’70s glam rock, and...

A MOMENT IN TIME

Arranging this cover was no small feat – perhaps it’s because we were dreaming it up from Hong Kong, bringing it to life in Seoul, and weaving a story around an artist we deeply admire [writes Prestige managing director and publisher Oceana Ou]. It...

SIMPLY MARFELOUS

Marife “Marf ” Yau may only be 23 years old, but there’s a maturity to her you don’t often see in someone who’s been in showbusiness for just four years. Our photoshoot with her took place on a rainy June day – and to say our location was remote is an...

THE JOKES ARE ON JIMMY

They say time flies when you’re having fun, which is probably why our cover shoot with Jimmy O Yang felt like it went by in the blink of an eye. Funny, witty and unquestionably professional, the comedian and actor knew exactly what he wanted and how to...

OUT OF THE ORDINARY

There’s something about this month’s cover personality, Jay Fung [writes Prestige lifestyle editor Jeff Yeung]. From his warm demeanour, the quiet confidence he exudes and the gentleness of his voice, I get a sense he’s not just another celebrity; in...

RAIN OR SHINE

It was raining in Taipei on the last day of March when we shot our latest cover with the wonderful Vivian Hsu. I’d flown in from Hong Kong the evening before [writes managing director and publisher Oceana Ou], and while the weather wasn’t ideal, it...

UNSCRIPTED ALLURE

Attending our photoshoot with Aokbab Chutimon felt less like work and more like an effortless dance, albeit one in which I was frantically checking the clock as we only had three tight hours to shoot [writes Prestige assistant society editor Shada...

MAKING MAGIC

Braving the icy minus-10 of a Korean winter (writes Prestige managing director and publisher Oceana Ou), I arrived in Seoul for what would become an unforgettable experience: a cover shoot with Eva Chow. Leading photographer Kim Hee June, whose busy...

SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST

POWERHOUSE

Although I’d written about Anna Hu before (writes Prestige senior editor Charlene Co), she’d remained something of a mystery to me, as our previous interactions had largely been limited to emails and phone calls. That changed when she flew from Monaco...

SIX SPORTING SAMARITANS

MISS FANTASTIC

Some people say you should never meet your heroes. But boy, aren’t we glad we got to meet Jennifer Yu. The award-winning actor’s turn as a hardened journalist who infiltrates a nursing home to expose the abuse and maltreatment of its residents not only...

UNSTOPPABLE

One of Thailand’s most prominent rising stars, Mew Suppasit has captured the hearts of many, transcending borders beyond his homeland and Southeast Asia with his effortless charm and undeniable talent. Behind his public persona, though, we wondered...

FREE AGENT

When I was first asked to interview Serrini, my thoughts were mixed. On the one hand, she’s surged in popularity in recent years, largely thanks to the relatability of her music; on the other, she presents herself to the media as a strong character –...

LEADING MAN

It might have been 30 years since Louis Koo’s acting debut, but the man shows no sign of slowing down. He’s just come back from the Cannes Film Festival and the screening of his latest blockbuster, Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In – it earned him a...

NOTHING BUT PERFECTION

The charm and charisma of actor Yu Shi were both in evidence at our cover shoot. One moment we were cheering him on as he dribbled a basketball, the next we were hushed and enraptured as he sang and played on the guitar. We’ve all heard about his...
