ANCUȚA SARCA

  An innovative voice in the footwear game, Ancuța Sarca reimagines shoes for a more sustainable world, creating sneaker-heel hybrids that speak about juxtapositions of masculine and feminine, vintage and modern, sportswear and luxury.  The Romanian designer debuted her namesake label in 2019 at London Fashion Week SS20 with a presentation supported by Fashion East. By taking recycled fabric cutouts and material waste, Ancuța Sarca brings new life to every piece that she creates, utilising techniques such as restoration and repainting within the circular design. Supported by Nike in 2020, Sarca gave new life to left over Nike sneakers by recycling them and transforming them into heels.  Supporting an environmentally conscious approach to fashion the label provides an unconventional and feminine take on the traditional sneaker.
