Crocs clogs took center stage at London Fashion Week during Ancuța Sarca's Spring/Summer 2025 collection on Saturday. For this collaboration, Sarca, who was born in Romania and is now based in London, reimagined two of Crocs' most iconic designs—the Siren Clog and the Classic Clog. Sarca, who won the 2023 FNAA award for Emerging Talent, has a knack for taking apart shoes and giving them new life, blending classic designs with her sustainable approach.
With the Siren Clog, she used an electrostatic flocking technique to create an interesting texture on the heeled version. Meanwhile, for the Classic Clog, she added metallic touches and gave the platform sole a gradient effect.
"I'm really excited to team up with Crocs for my spring/summer 2025 collection," Sarca shared. "Their bold designs and comfort fit perfectly with my vision of mixing practicality with unconventional style. By blending Crocs' signature look with elements from trainers and loafers, I'm reshaping the Crocs world into something uniquely Ancuța Sarca, while staying true to the original shapes. We're also exploring electrostatic flocking to give the shoes unique textures and a bold, standout look."
Yann Le Bozec, Crocs' VP of marketing for ROW and Hey Dude International, said, "We're thrilled about this creative collaboration with Ancuța Sarca. She's reimagined our Classic Clog and Siren Clog in such a fresh, visionary way, pushing the boundaries of design while showcasing our shared passion for innovation and creativity."
Beyond the Crocs collaboration, Sarca also introduced some new styles with Clarks. This time, she gave the classic Clarks Originals Wallabees a twist by using deadstock shoes. At the show, held at 180 Strand, she presented three pairs of Wallabees, each in different colors.
These collaborations appeared alongside Sarca's main Spring/Summer 2025 collection when she infused sportswear styles with bold animal prints. Her signature upcycled snakeskin high heel pump was paired with masculine shirt collars, while oversized leopard print boots were accented with sporty stripes-hallmarks of Sarca's work that blend contrasting styles, reflecting the various roles we juggle in modern life.
On the menswear side, she brought in sportswear and cycling inspirations, transforming masculine loafer designs into Sarca's distinct style. Velcro fastenings made an appearance, all within this season's key themes: faux snakeskin, chrome, black, and white.
