DUBAI: Jordanian Romanian footwear designer Amina Muaddi attended Jacquemus’s “Le Raphia” Spring/Summer 2023 show in France on Monday.
The off-calendar show was held in Le Bourget, a commune in the north-eastern suburbs of Paris, and was attended by a number of A-list stars, including US Canadian actress Pamela Anderson, French star Sophie Marceau, US actress Christine Quinn, Spanish actors Manu Rios and Arón Piper, US model Richie Shazam, US social media star Emma Chamberlain and Blackpink’s Jennie.
For the show, Muaddi opted for a full denim look. She wore a cut-out jacket and straight leg jeans. She added a pop of color with a bright orange purse and hot red ombre lipstick.
The designer-to-the-stars took to Instagram to share a sneak peak of her look as she headed to the fashion show. “Jacquemus day,” she captioned a short clip on her Instagram Stories, shared with her 1.3 million followers.
The brand’s runway featured muted tones and relaxed denim, loose tops, geometric garments, sculptural skirts and more.
British Moroccan model Nora Attal walked the runway. She wore a long-sleeved crop top with cut out detailing at the waist and a sheer skirt. The catwalk star held a yellow fur bag that matched her heels and orange ear flaps with a brown bucket hat.
On Nov. 30, Muaddi won the designer of the year prize at the 2022 FN Achievement Awards in New York.
The Footwear News awards is hosted by the American industry magazine that specializes in covering the international shoe industry.
“The last time I was on the stage receiving an award, it was presented to me by my dear friend Virgil (Abloh),” Muaddi said as she accepted her award. “So it’s a bit of a bittersweet moment tonight. But I’m happy to share even this moment with him.”
She paid tribute to the late fashion designer and said that she is inspired by his passion and commitment to fashion. “(It) was a constant reminder, not only of his humble spirit, but also of what really matters. I am so grateful to have the freedom to wake up every morning and to do what I do for work,” she added.
