French Model Tina Kunakey Stars in Amina Muaddi’s Summer Campaign
Dubai: The stunning French model, Tina Kunakey, took the spotlight this week in the latest summer-inspired campaign by Romanian Jordanian footwear designer, Amina Muaddi.
Kunakey, with Moroccan roots, flaunted Muaddi’s new BRITO slipper – a single block of plexiglass carved into the designer’s iconic flared heel.
Crafted in Italy, the square-toed heels come in a vibrant array of colors including orange, purple, blue, pink, black, and transparent.
This marks Kunakey’s third collaboration with Muaddi. Taking to Instagram, the model expressed her admiration for the part-Arab designer.
“My admiration for you only deepens,” Kunakey wrote, accompanied by a picture of herself in the pool during the shoot.
“Season after season, each new campaign showcases your talent even brighter.

“Thank you for trusting me since the very beginning. I love you. I am so proud of you and I am excited, and so full of love for what you’ve built and what’s to come.”
