Steve Madden announces spring 2024 collaboration with celebrity-endorsed footwear brand Jessica Rich
Steve Madden, the iconic American footwear brand best known for revolutionizing the shoe industry with accessible and on-trend styles, is thrilled to announce its collaboration with Jessica Rich, a true trailblazer in the shoe industry. This innovative partnership marks the union of two distinct brands, blending their expertise to create a uniquely alluring yet elegant and practical collection.
The Jessica Rich × Steve Madden collaboration showcases an assortment of heels, such as platform styles like the Trisco and iridescent Nova, and the Aurora, a chic kitten keel with an enlarged chained bow. The sandals come in various colours, perfect for warmer months, and feature the Stardust, which gives a nod to Madden’s iconic Slinky. Various flats and the Luna sneaker, featuring a rhinestone tongue, round out the collaboration.
Each category allows customers to explore a diverse array of footwear designed to be worn day to night. This marks the Jessica Rich brand’s first significant foray into sandals and sneakers in recent years. Jessica and the Madden team ensure each style is fashionable but practical for any occasion.
‘Embracing the vibrant spirit of spring, I set out to design shoes that are both timeless and statement-making. This collaboration allowed me to infuse playful colours and fresh shapes, drawing inspiration from my best-selling styles, including my famous PVC element, a personal touch requested by Steve Madden,’ said Jessica Rich. ‘Together, we’ve created a collection that transcends trends, making a bold and versatile statement for consumers who appreciate the beauty in every step. Each shoe in the collection can take you from day to night.’
Both brands pride themselves on creating shoes for the it-girls of the world, encouraging all people to wear styles that exude confidence and individuality as part of their self-expression. Their iconic footwear has been worn by celebrities such as Sydney Sweeney, Cardi B, Jennifer López, and more.
‘We took the spirit of what she does and a little bit of what I do—mostly her, though—and we got together and made this collaboration,’ said Steve Madden, founder, creative and design chief. ‘We started similarly, with one shoe to our names and about a thousand dollars. She’s a very talented designer, so once we got to talking, the rest is history.’
