Conner Ives on Protect the Dolls, His Met Gala Looks & Designing for Rihanna | Fashion Forensics
Conner Ives is someone who has had many home runs in his short career as a designer. After moving to London from Bedford, New York, he took on graduating from Central Saint Martins and putting all of his effort into building a fashion label that he has envisioned since he was seven years old. Since creating his eponymous label, he has achieved it all - dressing Adwoa Aboah for the Met Gala whilst being in his first year of university, attracting the attention of Rihanna and creating multiple custom looks for her [as well as working for her own label, Fenty], and later having his actual runway designs displayed within the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute exhibition - all whilst having an ethos of spotlighting and protecting the communities he cherishes, an example seen at the end of his AW25 show when he took his bow wearing a 'Protect The Dolls' t-shirt, advocating for the protection of trans people's rights - a cause that took culture by storm, raising over £900,000 thus far.Coming into the Fashion Forensics hot seat, the American designer talks about breaking the Internet with his 'Protect The Dolls' t-shirt, his first visual memories of wanting to be one with fashion, and how the support of his community is the reason for his success.Graphite ProGRAPHITE is a platform for creatives and trailblazers aiming to elevate their work....Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifyWatch the full video episodes exclusively on YouTube every Tuesday.

As the fashion and creative cycle becomes more and more overwhelming with imagery 24/7, what are the moments that have cut through that noise? Join me each week, as we analyse and reflect upon the most special moments in my guests’s lives that have made them into powerhouse creatives across fashion and design.This is Fashion Forensics.
