Amina Muaddi: The Visionary Behind the Custom ‘Karma’ Pumps
Designer of the Year Amina Muaddi proved herself worthy of the title as she stepped out in custom ‘Karma’ pumps from her collection. A Jordanian-Romanian accessory designer based in Paris, Muaddi is celebrated for her signature wide square heels, which have adorned the feet of numerous celebrities.
Muaddi’s journey began when she moved to Italy at 16 and attended the European Institute of Design in Milan. Her passion for shoemaking was ignited during her time in Riviera del Brenta, the historical shoemaking district, allowing her to master the art of crafting her shoes’ intricate components.

Starting her career in fashion media with roles at L’Uomo Vogue and GQ, she co-founded Oscar Tiye in 2012, a brand that gained fame for its playful designs, including Minnie Mouse-inspired heels loved by stars like Katy Perry.
Muaddi launched her eponymous label in 2018, known for bold colors, crystal embellishments, and translucent accents. Within just a few years, she has earned numerous accolades, including the Entrepreneur of the Year award at the 2021 Fashion Trust Arabia Prize and the Collaborator of the Year award at the 2020 FNAAs alongside Rihanna.
While the classic ‘Karma’ features crystal-trimmed ankle ties, this custom design features all-over crystal embellishments. They also have pointed toes and the designer’s signature architectural heels.
