Our HUGO BOSS @ArtsThread competition has come to an end, and we’re excited to officially announce the two winners of the six-month internships!🎉
This design project, which was open globally, called on students to rethink and redesign business wear for BOSS; with a focus on diversity, equity, inclusion, and body positivity.
Six finalists had the incredible opportunity to explore our in-house showrooms and technical center at our headquarters, gaining some invaluable
insights into our design processes and craftsmanship. They also connected with key stakeholders from HUGO BOSS to discuss their projects and innovative ideas.
The finalists wowed our jury — made up of our very own Kristina Szasz, Marco Falcioni, Rashmi Verma, and Kathrin Hönes — with their final presentations,
and the winning spots ultimately were awarded to Seungeun Lee and Victoria McGuire! Seungeun is from South Korea and studies in London, and Victoria is half American, half Italian, and studies in the Netherlands.'
A big thank you to the students who dedicated their time and creativity to this project. We look forward to future collaborations that enable us
to nurture emerging talents in the fashion industry! For now, we can’t wait to welcome Seungeun and Victoria to their six-month internships with us and having them join our journey to redefine the future of fashion.
We, at HUGO BOSS believe that creativity and fashion knows no bounds and we are fully committed to our goal to actively contribute to an inclusive and equitable world. In celebration of the individual “me”, HUGO BOSS is launching a competition that embraces each person’s authenticity and individuality.
