London-native designer Ancuta Sarca continues to make waves in the British fashion scene with her innovative approaches. Renowned globally for her unique sneaker-heel combinations, Sarca has gained critical acclaim since debuting her first-ever collection at London Fashion Week during the Spring/Summer 2020 season.
Her inclusion in The British Fashion Council’s BFC NEWGEN scheme has solidified her status as a household name in UK fashion. Sarca’s latest endeavour involves collaborating with Nike to create limited-edition hybrid footwear that combines classic sports trainers with dainty heels, drawing inspiration from iconic Nike football boots.
With a focus on sustainability and upcycling, Sarca breathes new life into older products, showcasing her creativity and unique design perspective. Notable clients such as Cher, Kim Kardashian, and Rosalía have previously embraced Sarca’s custom designs.
The latest collection features heel-boot creations that were specifically crafted for Rihanna earlier this year. Sarca’s reimagined designs include the Nike Air Zoom T90 III, Nike T90 Laser IV, Nike Tiempo Legend III, and Nike Speed TD American Football cleat. The Air Zoom T90 III receives a high-knee silhouette transformation, while the others are transformed into stylish “Kitten Heels.”
