(Photo by Ray Tamarra\/GC Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Born and raised in Bedford, New York, Ives had moved to London in 2014 to attend acclaimed fashion college Central Saint Martins. His infatuation with both fashion and the females in his life because intertwined, as his pursuit for a new Americana was often expressed via the stories of the women. In turn, this would challenge female archetypes.<\/p>\n<p>Ives\u2019 Autumn\/Winter show at London Fashion Week was perhaps his greatest dedication to his female friends. <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/articles\/feud-capote-vs-the-swans-premiere\/\">His swans<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince the beginning of my career, my work has been platformed, guided and influenced by my swans,\u201d Ives says via the show notes. \u201cThis season\u2019s cast is made up of the women, socialites, friends, and muses who have kept me in a state of awe. My take on the modern-day Swan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps most remarkably, Ives\u2019 technique this season sees him up-cycle off-cuts, vintage textiles and objects lacking purpose: embroidery is made from safety pins which were collected from random eBay sales and the young designer&#8217;s London studio floor. Then there\u2019s the headphone bride, wearing organza and lace made from the remnants of wires and offcuts of headphone produced in Kolkata. Many of the jersey styles this season are made from deadstock military surplus. Yes, Just like Ives connection to his swans, his work and up-cycling are a conscious coupling.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the demi-couture mini-gowns was made from an antique wall hanging which was over 300 years old,\u201d explains Ives. \u201cThe dye on the hand-embroidery had leached over time into the surrounding textile. We intentionally left the textile as-is, rather than embarking on our rather extensive textile restoration processes we will often implement for the piano shawl styles; restoring a vintage textile to its former glory.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>See you at next years Met?<\/p>\n<p>See every look from Connor Ives&#8217; Autumn\/Winter 2024 show below.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
