SWWP #45 - Suing Nike/Converse: A Creative Director's Journey (feat. Love, Kelly)

Today I’m joined by creative director Love, Kelly. As a music video director, he’s worked with major artists like U2, Trippie Redd, Lil Tjay, and more. In his hometown of Burlington, Vermont, he became a local legend for throwing rap shows that even Lil Uzi Vert pulled up to.

Beyond directing, Love, Kelly built his own fashion line, “Love, Kelly,” and has already produced three New York Fashion Week events, earning a feature in Rolling Stone. And he’s currently in the middle of a headline-worthy lawsuit against Converse, who he claims stole his creative work for a global marketing campaign.

We get into all of it and how we met, building creative communities, navigating the industry, fighting for your art, overcoming adversity, and the story behind his rise.
