For model and actress Deba Hekmat, fighting to make your own opportunities has been essential. Scouted into modelling at age 16, she came into the industry with a level-headedness and desire to learn and explore more on her own terms, only to keep reaping the rewards of authenticity by recently starring in multiple Gucci campaigns, as well as making her acting debut in Sasha Nathwani's latest film Last Swim. Coming into the Fashion Forensics hot seat, Hekmat dives into her early years growing up between South London and Cardiff, and how she has taken her Kurdish identity into the melting pot of cultures she grew up with. From being mesmerised with the levels of production the K-POP scene had to offer, all throughout seeing Azalea Banks's '212' music video and wanting to work towards creating performance and art of her own, Deba has seized opportunities and expanded into new heights in fashion and film, opening doors for others to follow.

Anthony Turner on Guido Palau, Becoming a London Club Kid and Ethel Cain | Fashion Forensics
In the world of session hairstyling, Anthony Turner is one of the 'enfants terribles' in his gothic ways of deconstructing glamour. Front lining some of the biggest fashion shows in the face of Prada and JW Anderson, he has created deeply deconstructed worlds of his own references and life path, which has not been easy. Starting hairdressing as a form of survival, Turner quickly became Guido Palau's first assistant, diving straight into the editorial world of fashion and art - reaching an accolade that few can boast about. Coming onto Fashion Forensics, he talks about the difficult beginnings that led him to become who he is today, and how because of it, he cherishes the balance of life and work way more than ever. Turner also discusses his underground references in the face of Dracula, Ethel Cain and escaping into his own meticulously constructed world through creating his own drawings of what lives inside his head.

Conner Ives on Protect the Dolls, His Met Gala Looks & Designing for Rihanna | Fashion Forensics
Conner Ives is someone who has had many home runs in his short career as a designer. After moving to London from Bedford, New York, he took on graduating from Central Saint Martins and putting all of his effort into building a fashion label that he has envisioned since he was seven years old. Since creating his eponymous label, he has achieved it all - dressing Adwoa Aboah for the Met Gala whilst being in his first year of university, attracting the attention of Rihanna and creating multiple custom looks for her [as well as working for her own label, Fenty], and later having his actual runway designs displayed within the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute exhibition - all whilst having an ethos of spotlighting and protecting the communities he cherishes, an example seen at the end of his AW25 show when he took his bow wearing a 'Protect The Dolls' t-shirt, advocating for the protection of trans people's rights - a cause that took culture by storm, raising over £900,000 thus far.Coming into the Fashion Forensics hot seat, the American designer talks about breaking the Internet with his 'Protect The Dolls' t-shirt, his first visual memories of wanting to be one with fashion, and how the support of his community is the reason for his success.Graphite ProGRAPHITE is a platform for creatives and trailblazers aiming to elevate their work....Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifyWatch the full video episodes exclusively on YouTube every Tuesday.
