great respect for the act of creation. I
watch for artists that want to get their
voice out there. I watch for people who
are forging against adversity to create
space for themselves and for their
communities. I watch for the odd, the

— those that can create such a strong
visual presence you feel moved or
provoked in a beautiful way; for those
who love what they do and show signs of
wanting to further their thread of creating

design studio led by Sarah Giesenhagen
— shaped the different spaces in

and creative director of Geldert. "The

art and attire were custom crafted by
over 30 creative collaborators," says
