The Begum court is Amina Muaddi at her vivid and sculptural best. The designer—one of the bright stars in a constellation of brilliant young designers—studied fashion in Milan before learning the shoemaking craft in Italy’s shoemaking stronghold (the Veneto’s Riviera del Brenta). The combo works: avant-garde silhouettes like the transparent and jewel-encrusted Begum, underpinned by exquisite construction.
