Ana is a Serbian sculptor and fashion artist, based in London, working at the intersection of sculpture and costume design. She is specialised in synthetic polymers, metal and leather. Following her fashion debut Unhuman (2009) and the sculpture collection Wired (2009), Rajcevic received the International MA Scholarship from the prestigious London College of Fashion to work on a new project of high-end fashion artefacts, due in February 2012.
The collection ANIMAL: The Other Side of Evolution presents a set of bespoke sculptural head-pieces, handmade in fiberglass and polyester resin, testing the boundaries of contemporary jewellery and accessories design. The pieces will be exhibited as part of the London College of Fashion Graduate Exhibition at Victoria House in London, from 1 February.
*UPDATE, Tuesday, Feb 1: Ana has just won the MA Design Award from the University of Arts, London. Congrats, Ana! Read the Vogue UK feature here.
