“It’s been a manic day,” says the American fashion designer Conner Ives from his studio, in London. His six-person team is still navigating, and reveling in, the aftermath of their recent BFC/Vogue Designer Fashion Fund–award win, which granted them more than $200,000 to support Ives’s eponymous label. “I mean, how could you say no to that?”
Winning the award marks the latest in a series of achievements for the 29-year-old designer, who, since launching his brand in 2021, has styled Met Gala looks for Adwoa Aboah and Ivy Getty, staged multiple runway shows at London Fashion Week, and raised nearly $1 million for an L.G.B.T.Q.+ charity.
