‘Vanderpump Rules’ Star Ariana Madix Hand-picked Shoe Styles for DSW That Are Designed to ‘Empower Women Across the Country’ in New Collaboration
Ariana Madix has partnered with DSW on an exclusive, 60-day collection. The TV personality collaborated with the shoe retailer by choosing a variety of springtime footwear staples.
Madix’s seasonal footwear collection features shoe selections hand-picked by the reality TV star, with an emphasis on designs that can “empower women across the country,” according to the brand. Madix, who described herself as a “fearless female” in the retailer’s promotions, will add new selections to her DSW collection every three weeks during the collaboration’s 60-day run, which kicked off on April 12. The collection is available exclusively on Madix’s page via DSW’s official website.

The curated collection of 30 styles features a range of footwear staples ideal for the spring season. Among designs Madix has chosen and will continue to choose from, shoppers will find an array of sneakers, dress heels and flat sandals. Converse, Adidas, Steve Madden and Dolce Vita are among some of the shoe brands and labels Madix chose to highlight.
DSW also has affordability in mind with this collection and collaboration with Madix. Prices range from $37 to $120 on Madix’s selections. Inspired by the “Vanderpump Rules” star’s own fashion sensibility and approach to footwear and trendy style, the collection features looks that combine timeless elegance with contemporary trends.
DSW has made similar partnerships with high-profile figures in the past. In April 2023, the retailer launched its partnership with actress Emma Roberts for their Crown Vintage collection. WWD reported how Robert’s partnership with the retailer and Crown Vintage brand was “part of the footwear and accessories retailer’s strategy to rebrand itself for a younger audience.”

“I gravitated to the Crown Vintage brand because it embraces and encourages individuality,” Roberts said in October 2022. “I live in the shoes, everything from loafers to boots. They’re so comfy and chic, and I love a place where I can get one of everything.”
DSW has also worked with such stars as Jennifer Lopez and Mindy Kaling. In 2017, the retailer signed Olivia Culpo as its first style ambassador.
