Fashion designer Connor Ives says his now-iconic “Protect the Dolls” T-shirt — first worn during the finale of his Fall/Winter 2025 ready-to-wear show in London — has since raised more than $600,000 for the nonprofit Trans Lifeline. He soon began selling it for $99, with proceeds benefiting Trans Lifeline, which offers services including a crisis hotline for the transgender community. The shirt quickly sold out, with celebrities like Troye Sivan, Pedro Pascal, and Madonna photographed wearing it. By mid-April, Ives had sold 1,088 shirts and raised more than $70,000 for Trans Lifeline, according to Vogue. The post said the money raised will fund Trans Lifeline services and allow the organization to resume distributing microgrants to transgender people nationwide, something it has not done since 2023.
