WHEN it comes to shoes, Amina Muaddi is the trending designer of the moment.

Amina Muaddi’s shoes have been worn by the likes of Kylie Jenner, Rihanna, and more.

Who is Amina Muaddi?

Muaddi is a shoe designer and entrepreneur known for her brand that she named after herself.

She has been featured in Vogue numerous times for her designs and for her collaboration with Rihanna’s company Fenty.

The young designer has over one million followers on her personal Instagram.

British Vogue named her one of the “5 Break-Through accessory designers.”

The designer has a star-studded customer list from Kendall Jenner to Dua Lipa.

Muaddi told British Vogue in 2019 that she is friends with Rihanna’s stylist and that is how their relationship began.

“Well, Rihanna’s stylist and I are friends, so he saw some early prototypes,” she said.

“But then she bought a few pairs herself via her personal shopper. She’s such a nice person. She sent me some Fenty clothes when she launched her own label – I feel amazing when I’m wearing them. There’s that swagger, you feel like you are channelling Rihanna,” she added.

What has Amina Muaddi said about her shoes?

The designer has been told that her shoes are comfortable, although that was not her intention she told the outlet.

“They’re very comfortable – but I didn’t design them with that in mind,” she began.

“The flared heel is great on grass and gravel, because you get the femininity of a thin stiletto heel with the cool and the comfort of a platform. I can wear them all day long.”

Muaddi’s designs are noticeable almost immediately with their geometrical shapes and colorful designs.

The 36-year-old designer is half-Romanian, half-Jordanian, but largely grew up in Italy.
