Conner Ives

Conner Ives (born 1996, Bedford, New York) is an American fashion designer based in London. While a student at Central Saint Martins, he dressed model Adwoa Aboah for the 2017 Met Gala, gaining the notice of Rihanna who hired him to help create her first Fenty collection. He graduated from CSM with a BA in fashion womenswear in 2020 and launched his label in 2021, earning recognition for redefining Americana through reworking vintage and deadstock materials into playful, nostalgic fashion.

Ives held his first runway show during London Fashion Week with his Fall 2022 collection in February 2022, and has since presented at LFW each season. For SS27, Ives makes his NYFW debut, presenting his spring collection on September 12 – a homecoming for the native New Yorker. “As a native New Yorker, it feels fitting to bring the brand back to where it all started for me,” he said. “I always joke with people that moving to London was my equivalent of boarding school.” During his Fall 2025 LFW finale, Ives wore the “Protect the Dolls” slogan T-shirt in solidarity with the transgender community, which became a global movement worn by celebrities including Troye Sivan and Pedro Pascal, raising over £500,000 for charity. He was a 2021 LVMH Prize finalist.
