No doubt still riding high on the thrill of their recent Urban Luxe win at the British Fashion Awards, Fenty are maintaining their momentum.

So much so that the Rihanna-founded brand has tapped the fashion set's favourite footwear designer to transfer her expertise to Fenty's offerings.

Amina Muaddi is the half Romanian-half Jordanian Parisian behind the funky footwear seen on the likes of Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid and Riri herself.

Muaddi launched her namesake brand last year, but in addition to her own shoes, also designs footwear for French fashion designer, Alexandre Vauthier.

Her footwear designs are the perfect combination of classic and cool - from jewels to feathers to PVC, a whole host of materials adorn her heels.

And she's not short of fans either, with her eponymous brand boasting 128,000 followers on Instagram, while her personal has 310,000.

This isn't the first time Muaddi will have designed shoes for Fenty: she worked alongside Rihanna to design the footwear for the singer-turned-fashion-mogul's most recent Savage x Fenty lingerie show during New York Fashion Week.

According to FootwearNews, Muaddi’s partnership with Fenty will be a freelance project while she continues to design for Vauthier.

Rihanna made history when launched her clothing brand Fenty in May, as she became the first ever black, female designer to create a brand under LVMH.
