Ana Rajčević (Serbian Cyrillic: Ана Рајчевић) is a Serbian fashion artist who is based in London and Berlin.[1] She is known for works that sit at the intersection of art, design and fashion. The Independent voted her one of the most promising artists from the University of the Arts in London.[2]

Rajčević studied architecture in Serbia[2] and design at the London College of Fashion, where she won the MA Design Award in 2012.[3] That same year, she won the grand prize for accessories at a fashion competition in Trieste, Italy.[4]

Rajčević's wearable sculptures were part of the travelling Cooper Hewitt Design Triennial show in 2016.[5][6][7][8] Her collection, "Animal: The Other Side of Evolution", was made of fiberglass and silicone rubber, and refers to what she calls personal adornment. Neither seen as jewelry nor accessory, the sculptural pieces can be worn by someone or presented as objects in their own right.[3][9][10][11][12][13] The exhibit addresses issues of evolution and according to the artist "These pieces make us wonder about the future mutations of the human animal".[14] In 2017, she participated in a group exhibition in Warsaw, Poland that questioned how art and fashion react to social, economic, and environmental upheavals.[15]

Rajčević created the costumes for the experimental film "Encounters", which she also co-produced, stating that she likes "to showcase an artwork using image, sound, text and movement".[2][16] The film was shown in Rotterdam and at Berlin Fashion Week in 2010.
