DUBAI: It was one of the most anticipated footwear collaborations of 2020, and now Amina Muaddi and Fenty’s footwear partnership is set to be honored as Collaborator of the Year at the upcoming 34th edition of the FN Achievement Awards.
“That’s what’s up! @badgalriri’s @fenty and I will be honored with the Collaborator of the Year award at the upcoming 2020 FN Achievement Awards this December!” wrote the Jordanian-Romanian footwear designer on Instagram.
“Thank you @footwearnews for acknowledging our work and @badgalriri @illjahjah @fenty for embarking me on this journey! Looking forward to what’s next. Much love from my team and I!” she added, thanking Rihanna and her longtime stylist and Fenty creative director Jahleel Weaver, who first introduced the star to Muaddi’s designs.
According to an interview with British Vogue, Rihanna came by Muaddi’s shoes after Weaver introduced her to early prototypes. “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 channeling Rihanna,” she stated.
The limited edition Fenty x Amina Muaddi footwear capsule collection launched online in July and boasted four distinct styles: A mule, a lace up sandal with crystal, a sandal with PVC straps and a cage pump that ties all the way up the leg.
Previous recipients of the Collaborator of the Year honor at the annual FN Achievement Awards – often called the “Shoe Oscars” – have included Tommy Hilfiger and Kith’s Ronnie Fieg.
