Spotlight: Amina Muaddi

The eponymous footwear line by Amina Muaddi is a study in how to create shoes that bring together excellent craftsmanship, impeccable, timeless style, and edgy, sleek glamour.

A favourite of fashion darlings everywhere, Muaddi’s designs are immediately recognisable for the square heel base used throughout her collection, the slim crystal embellishment, and strappy sandal and slingback pumps.

Her designs echo her cosmopolitan upbringing in a mix of cultures including Jordan, Romania and Italy, resulting in a fusion of style consciousness. She designed for Rihanna’s FENTY line with LVMH before its closure, as well as spending the time and effort to learn from master shoemakers in Italy; an education which has proved helpful in building her own aesthetic.
