Rihanna Taps Amina Muaddi To Assist With Fenty Shoe Design

December 7, 2019. Leave a Comment

Paris-based footwear designer Amina Muaddi star continues to shine with news she’s been tapped by none other than Rihanna to assist with Fenty footwear design.

Rihanna was among the first to embrace the label and was first spotted in the spring wearing Muaddi’s distinctly sexy mules featuring a signature flared heel.

According to Footwear News, which recently honored her as 2019’s shoe designer of the year, the 33-year-old Muaddi first made contact with Rihanna through her stylist and Fenty creative director, Jahleel Weaver, after he purchased some pairs of her shoes. Muaddi explained, “He didn’t ask me for shoes. He just literally communicated that he had bought them for her. That was amazing.”

The co-sign by a fashion influencer as major as Rihanna is no small accomplishment given Muaddi’s shoe line has only been in existence since August 2018. However, this isn’t her first time out of the gate.

While born in Paris, Muaddi, whose lineage is Jordanian and Romanian, grew up in Italy and attended the European Institute of Design. After she graduated, she went on to work as a stylist at L’Uomo Vogue and GQ.

In 2013, Muaddi co-founded footwear label Oscar Tiye, and while the label enjoyed success she departed under less than ideal circumstances in 2017. Subsequently, she moved to Paris where she began working with with French designer Alexandre Vauthier (also a Rihanna fave) on the launch of his shoe line.

Scathing 5,400-word report via The Cut's Tahirah H Scathing 5,400-word report via The Cut's Tahirah Hairston on Kerby Jean-Raymond whose label Pyer Moss appears to no longer be operational. 

Check out an excerpt below. 

Ten years in, Jean-Raymond’s star has only risen. He hangs out with celebrities (Tracee Ellis Ross, Brent Faiyaz), made a cameo on Insecure, and drives flashy cars (a McLaren 720S, an Aston Martin Superleggera, a Porsche GT3 RS). Meanwhile, his brand is nearly nonexistent.

There is no Pyer Moss boutique. The clothing celebrated on the runway was mostly not available to anybody who didn’t have a celebrity stylist to pull it for them, and company insiders complained that quality control was so uneven that at times what was produced was too flawed to be sold. Jean-Raymond sometimes missed deadlines, didn’t always pay bills, started other projects, and alienated allies. He referred to Pyer Moss as an “art project” and seemed reluctant to make practical choices. Among the fashion insiders who had cheered his rise, there has been a growing feeling that he has wasted an opportunity to build something important.

The last straw for many of his early supporters was his couture show in July 2021. Titled “WAT U IZ,” and put on in the U.S. during Paris Couture Week, it was a tribute to the various innovations that Black people have been responsible for, often without credit. The models came down the runway decked out in a jar of peanut butter and a traffic light. A lot of it wasn’t really clothing, much less couture. Even if the professional critics and other members of the fashion press seemed hesitant to publicly express their disappointment, they whispered among each other that he’d lost the plot of his brand.
