So many stars were in attendance to help GQ celebrate at the magazine’s inaugural Global Creativity Awards!
Donald Glover and Squid Game actress Hoyeon Jung were among the honorees at the event, which was held on Thursday night (April 6) at cultural hub WSA in New York City.
The awards event celebrated the world’s most fearless and inspiring creatives. Honorees in attendance also included Apple CEO Tim Cook, British fashion designer Grace Wales Bonner, electric skateboarder Tyshawn Jones, and director William Strobeck.
GQ editor-in-chief Will Welch said, “We decided to launch the Creativity Awards because, over the course of my 20-year career, I have watched creativity go from being a slightly mystical, unattainable, and not-terribly-monetizable attribute reserved for flighty artistic types to what it has become today: the sexiest and most desirable cultural currency of our times… What makes our first class of honorees so special—and so right-on for this new program—is that while together they encompass industries that include tech, fashion, film, television, music, art, design, and sport, none of them can be contained to any one category or discipline.”
