The Most Powerful 20-Somethings in NYC
Everything in NYC is bigger, faster, and more intense. Its humble inhabitants don't just keep the pace; they set it. That’s why we’re proud to present Refinery29’s second annual 30 Under 30 list, as the ultimate homage to those extraordinary people whose knack for pushing boundaries and breaking rules, quite simply, blows our minds. And, though we stand for life, love, and the pursuit of personal style, this hot list goes far beyond influencers and starlets, focusing on true pioneers who are forging new paths for the future of their pursuits.
To wit, a political consultant who just happens to star on a controversial TV series, a design duo whose debut collection is already award-winning, and an athlete who KILLS it on the dance floor. Innovators, iconoclasts, and industry wunderkinds — they’re all here, with knowledge to drop, lessons to teach, and inspiration to share. It's true what they say — if you can make it here, you’ll make it anywhere. And if a group of actors reinventing live performance and a boundless chef blazing his own hyperunique trail can do it, we’ve got a feeling their fires might stoke yours, too.
