ARTSTHREAD ANNOUNCE JUDGES FOR GLOBAL DESIGN GRADUATE SHOW 2022 IN COLLABORATION WITH GUCCI

ARTSTHREAD is pleased to announce the list of industry judges participating in this year’s Global Design Graduate Show 2022 in collaboration with GUCCI. Following the success of the inaugural Global Design Graduate Show in 2020, ARTSTHREAD has, for the third year running, teamed up with GUCCI who, as in 2021, will be the exclusive partner for the Global Design Graduate Show 2022. The 2020 show was the first ever online showcase of the world’s leading emerging artists and designers and was created as a proactive response to the cancellation of end of year student exhibitions worldwide due to the pandemic.
It has been ARTSTHREAD’s vision over the last 13 years to support the future generations of creative talent and by teaming up with GUCCI for 2022, ARTSTHREAD will be able to offer students a chance to succeed in gaining employment or launching their own brands during these unprecedented times.
Following on from the roster of high-profile industry judges in 2020 & 2021, ARTSTHREAD and GUCCI have enlisted distinguished and esteemed creatives from across the globe to assist in judging the 2022 competition. We are proud to include Lionel Vermeil, Luxury Prospective Director from Kering amongst our renowned judges. The Global Design Graduate Show 2022 in collaboration with GUCCI is divided per creative specialism, each with its own selection of high-profile judges.
