Having launched her eponymous shoe brand in 2018, Amina Muaddi has quickly grown her label to become one of the most in-demand footwear brands on the fashion radar, with fans including Vogue Arabia cover stars Gigi Hadid and Hailey Bieber. While combining centuries of shoe-making expertise with a modern global fashion perspective has generated huge success for the brand, Muaddi remains practical. “We could have bigger numbers, but I think it’s fundamental today not to oversell or over distribute,” she previously shared with Vogue Arabia. “We are lucky because everybody wants our product, but we don’t want to give it to everybody. My client needs to feel like what she owns is luxurious and unique and not everyone can have it.”
