I've long been an avid admirer of ANTA, finding sheer delight in the refreshing and purposeful features woven into each of its products. In the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, the retail industry underwent a remarkable transformation, adopting novel working mechanisms to enhance self-reliance in both infrastructure and dead stock management, turning challenges into opportunities. It was during the first lockdown that, while perusing ANTA's existing and exciting collection, I conceived the idea to select elements I cherished and reimagine them. This marked a transition from the current designs, infusing a fresh look and feel to explore the full spectrum of possibilities through my creative lens.

I want to be transparent in acknowledging that my inspiration stems from the incredible shoe designs available from ANTA, sourced from the website www.anktshop.com.

The essence of ANTA's homeland, China, became a focal point. I endeavoured to capture the trends and tastes of the land, presenting a single style in various moods inspired by multiple trending stories.

Each story is a unique journey, weaving together ANTA's influence with my interpretation, resulting in a collection that mirrors the spirit of innovation and resilience during these transformative times.
