Amina Muaddi counts Bella Hadid, Irina Shayk, Kendall Jenner and Kim Kardashian as clients in her high-impact accessories corner. We last met Muaddi — beloved by stylist and Rihanna’s main fashion man Jahleel Weaver — in a summer 2020 Fenty collab Amina Muaddi Co-Designs Larger-Than-Life Shoes in Fenty Release 7-20 Campaign.

Muaddi says that her future in fashion was clear to her nine-year-old self, a girl living in Jordan and then Romania. Muaddi was born in Romania to a Jordanian father and Romanian mother. Shortly after her birth, Nuaddi’s family relocated to Amman in Jordan. Her parents split when she was six and she returned to Romania with her mother, for most of her childhood.

As a young adult, Muaddi moved to Italy, enrolling in Milan’s European Institute of Design and then as a stylist for L’Uomo Vogue and GQ. She also became co-founder and creative director of luxury footwear label Oscar Tiye.

A year later, the deep desire for her own eponymous line dominated her thinking and Amina Muaddi was born in August 2018.
