Amina Muaddi brings her signature glam to Paris with a flagship store on Avenue Montaigne
The Amina Muaddi shoe has always demanded attention – now it claims its rightful place at one of fashion's most prestigious addresses. This week, the Jordanian-Romanian designer unveiled her first standalone boutique at 6 Avenue Montaigne, marking a pivotal evolution for a brand that revolutionized footwear through its electric drop model. 'Having a store means having a home, both for our customers and the brand,' Amina Muaddi shared in an exclusive statement. 'We are so excited to connect with our community, to let clients experience the brand not just through product but visually, physically and emotionally. This is only the beginning of a long, new journey within retail, and it's a huge milestone to start from Avenue Montaigne — the dream address for fashion and luxury.' The 1,100-square-foot space, designed in collaboration with Art Recherche Industrie, eschews traditional retail theatrics for immersive sophistication. Undulating aluminum walls cascade like liquid metal, while shoebox-shaped cabinets in glossy burl walnut nod to French and Italian Art Deco influences. The centerpiece—a rotating caramel-pink sofa (the brand's signature hue) beneath sculptural suspension lighting—invites visitors to linger in what feels more like a fashionable salon than a traditional store. To commemorate the opening, Muaddi launched an exclusive capsule collection featuring six reimagined classics. The lineup includes showstoppers like a patent gold Anok slingback and a Jerry sandal adorned with ostrich feathers—each piece exemplifying the brand's signature blend of audacious femininity and impeccable craftsmanship. The pièce de résistance? A limited-edition Ami Clutch embroidered with mismatched crystals, with only six numbered pieces available worldwide. This flagship debut follows Muaddi's successful retail expansion, including a shop-in-shop at Le Bon Marché Rive Gauche launched last April, alongside established presences in Harrods and Level Shoes. The brand's momentum continues unabated, having recently unveiled its 2025 cruise collection starring muse Tina Kunakey in May. Even music royalty has taken notice—Beyoncé notably wore custom Muaddi heels during her Cowboy Carter Tour, cementing the label's status as the footwear of choice for fashion's most daring icons. With its Parisian flagship, Amina Muaddi doesn't just open a store—she creates a destination. A place where her vision of modern glamour, equal parts bold and refined, can be experienced in full sensory splendor. As the designer herself notes, this is just the beginning. For a brand that transformed how we think about luxury footwear, Avenue Montaigne is the perfect stage for its next act. – For more on luxury lifestyle, news, fashion and beauty follow Emirates Woman on Facebook and Instagram Images: Supplied & Feature Image: Supplied

Amina Muaddi Plants Her Flagship on Avenue Montaigne
The designer opens her first standalone boutique in Paris, a space that distills her brand's DNA into aluminum curves and crystal-studded heels. Jul 10, 2025 The Muaddi shoe always had presence. Now it has a Paris address. Amina Muaddi opened the doors to her first freestanding boutique at 6 Avenue Montaigne — a name that needs no context, and a milestone that marks a new chapter for a brand that once thrived on the thrill of the drop. The store's design, developed with Art Recherche Industrie, doesn't lean into nostalgia or retail theatrics. Instead, it shapes an atmosphere. Undulating aluminum walls line the space like a sculptural curtain. Shoebox-style cabinets in glossy burl walnut reference Art Deco restraint, while a rotating caramel-pink sofa anchors the room like a centrepiece and a quiet wink. It's all mood. All Muaddi. Since launching in 2018, the brand has built a language of modern femininity — one that's equal parts audacity and precision. That language now has walls, mirrors, light, and leather underfoot. To mark the opening, Muaddi introduced an exclusive capsule: six reimagined classics in new tones and textures, including the gold Anok slingback and a feathered white Jerry sandal. Anchoring the drop is the Ami Clutch, stitched with mismatched crystal studs — only six made, each numbered.

The SceneStyled Bandage Dress Edit
Once an iconic dress, always an iconic dress - Hervé Léger's second-skin bandage dress is lacing itself back into the fashion bloodstream. In the mid-2000s, the bandage dress held nightlife in a chokehold. Cut from thick elastic panels and precision-engineered to sculpt the body like a Roman column, it became a cultural fixture - spotted on everyone from Beyoncé to Kim Kardashian to Cindy Crawford. But the dress didn't start in Hollywood. Before the paparazzi flashes, there was Azzedine Alaïa - the Tunisian couturier whose bodycon legacy fed directly into Léger's hands. Now, in 2025, the bandage dress is finding new footing. Less about the nightclub, more about form, fit, and recontextualisation. Labels are revisiting the silhouett, showing it in soft metallics, earthy palettes, and sculptural cuts that reference both the '90s and something more future-forward. And in the MENA region, we're are pairing the dress with acid green heels, architectural ear cuffs, archival clutches, and fragrances that smell like heat waves. Below, we break down five ways to style the reborn bandage dress - regionally sourced, editorially sharp, and still clinging on (in the best way). LOOK 5 | Resort 2026 Collection Amina Muaddi, Anok 155 Patent Leather Platform Pumps Sculptural and sky-high, these silver platforms ground the body-hugging silhouette with a bit of 2000s maximalist nostalgia. Okhtein, Soiree Clutch Crystals, chrome, and the silhouette of a vintage minaudière—Okhtein's Soiree clutch brings a glam-metal energy to the look. Martyre, Astrid Studs in Sterling Silver Minimalist with edge. These studs give structure without shouting, balancing the volume of the dress. Yacine Hamdi, Silver Eargrillz Custom-moulded with a rebellious curve, these eargrillz reframe the bandage dress as something a little less predictable. Panconesi, The Triptych Arm Cuff Like wearable sculpture—Panconesi's Triptych wraps the wrist in geometry and tension. Panconesi, Blow Up Single Cuff Silver Chunky and bulbous in all the right ways, this wrist cuff adds industrial drama. Amouage, Reflection Woman Fresh white florals with unexpected depth—a scent that lingers like silk on skin. TANYA GOWN | SS'25 Collection Dara Hamarneh, Valletta in Green Calf Hair A textured twist on minimalism. Bold in colour, rich in material, and just the right size to feel intentional. Yuniu Jewels, Vinti Rings Deconstructed and stackable, these rings bring kinetic energy to an otherwise structured silhouette. Bil Arabi, Ya Ein Earrings Bold and symbolic. An iconic Bil Arabi design that brings language and legacy into the look. Duha Bakadi, Dama Shoes in Green Lime-bright and strappy with an architectural heel. Summer on your feet. Desirs, Suntan Vanilla Sun, sand, and sugar. This is SPF and skin heat bottled into scent. REMI GOWN | SS'15 Collection Amel Batita, Red Brocot Gloves Opera-length gloves in textured red velvet—gothic, romantic, and unapologetically extra. Amr Saad, 590 Hipster in Black Angular, blacked-out frames for when you need to look unfazed at brunch. Touchless, Ruby Silk Clutch Andrea Wazen, Nora Pump 105 in Black Pointed, sharp, and laced with evening energy. A structured contrast to the softness of the dress. Ibrahim Al Qurashi, Black Diamond Carbon Smoky and smooth with a mineral edge. Think private driver, tinted windows. LOOK 15 | Fall 2025 Collection Nicoli Shoes, Enero - Silver Like disco for your feet. These reflective heels light up the clean lines of the dress. Dania Shinkar, Mila Crystal Embellished Encrusted, embellished, and structured to hold the drama. Jude Benhalim, Ember Earrings in Blue Coloured lucite in sculptural form. These drop earrings bring liquid architecture to the ears. Jude Benhalim, Essence Bracelet in Blue A bold, cuffed companion that repeats the visual rhythm of the earrings. Jude Benhalim, Vault Cuff in Silver A finishing strike of silver to layer or let stand alone. Reef, Coral Warm spice softened by sea salt. Less beachy, more mineral memory. VALERIA DRESS | SS'25 Collection Thuna, Selena Silver Sandal Silver, strappy, and barely-there. These sandals whisper instead of scream. Mesh Mesh, Sārab in Frost White Minimalism with a mirage effect. This structured white bag pulls light and shape into one. Begum Khan, Mari Earrings Bold botanical forms dipped in shine. These earrings feel ceremonial and grounded. Begum Khan, Mari Ring Stacked with symbolism, finished with a punch of sculptural drama. Begum Khan, Mega Singapore Orchid Bracelet A maximalist's dream in floral form. The bracelet doesn't blend—it commands. Gissah, Imperial Valley Dry florals and desert air. A scent that moves like wind across stone.
