What to know about CONNER IVES
Built from deadstock and vintage
Most pieces start as existing garments — patchwork T-shirt dresses, jersey gowns, sequinned separates and embellished denim reworked rather than cut from new cloth.
One T-shirt carries the label
The "Protect the Dolls" tee that closed the autumn 2025 London show has raised over $600,000, first for Trans Lifeline and, since February 2026, for UK charity Not A Phase.
Americana filtered through Y2K London
An American designer working in London: Americana-referencing tailoring and early-2000s silhouettes, shown on friends and muses, with autumn 2026's Eldorado staged at Claridge's.

Brand facts
Conner Ives is a London label run by its American namesake designer, who builds collections largely from deadstock and vintage garments: patchwork T-shirt dresses, jersey gowns, sequinned separates, embellished denim and Americana-referencing tailoring, shown on a cast of friends and muses. The house gained wide attention when Ives closed his autumn 2025 London Fashion Week show in a "Protect the Dolls" T-shirt, which has raised over $600,000 for Trans Lifeline and, since February 2026, funds UK charity Not A Phase. Its autumn 2026 collection, Eldorado, showed at Claridge's.
