Deena Aljuhani Abdulaziz and Marina Larroudé are teaming up to give wedges a luxury twist.
In their debut collaboration, Deena and Larroudé have launched “The Radical Elegance” collection, featuring a wearable wedge and a ’90s-inspired pump. The color palette — red, olive green, creams, and carbon black — were selected by the two designers to conjure glamour and femininity.
Produced in Larroudé’s Brazil factory, the heel is also designed with a wrap-around ankle buckle, while the wedge is seen with a peep-toe, both are realized in soft suede, metallic leather, and textured leathers.
“One of the faces of our launch campaign back in 2020, Deena is a longtime friend and someone I deeply admire. It’s been an absolute dream to collaborate with her. Her taste is exquisite and she’s always impeccably dressed wearing high fashion in ways that feel uniquely unexpected — and our capsule delivers just that,” said Larroudé.
Abdulaziz, known as Princess Deena, is a Saudi-American entrepreneur and co-founder of the successful Riyadh-based concept store D’NA, which has since closed. She was also the former editor-in-chief of Vogue Arabia. Most recently, she launched an editorial lifestyle website, titled Deenathe1st, and an accompanying podcast in June 2024.
“There is nothing glamorous about discomfort so this collection is wearable, durable, and designed to feel like one is walking on clouds,” said Abdulaziz. “There is a bigger story behind these stunning shoes we present to you: through our friendship, Marina and I show how beautiful things happen when women support women.”
The limited collection is available September 25 on Larroude.com and Deenathe1st.com with shipping worldwide. The shoes retail at $490.
