A Bold New Step: April & Alex Debuts Sculptural, Empowering Footwear Collection
April & Alex, the fashion house known for its powerful silhouettes and unapologetically bold aesthetic, has officially entered the footwear arena with a debut collection that’s turning heads and challenging norms. Helmed by Nigerian-British designer and former broadcast journalist Didi Akinyelure, the brand’s first line of heels is as much a feat of innovation as it is a work of art.
At the heart of the launch is a striking braided heel—thick, architectural, and visually commanding. More than a design flourish, the braid structure is engineered for balance and stability, allowing for all-day comfort without sacrificing elegance. Crafted by skilled artisans in Italy, each pair reflects April & Alex’s signature blend of avant-garde design and conscious luxury.

This collection isn’t about following trends, it’s about rewriting the rules for women who lead. Akinyelure’s mission is clear: fashion should empower, not restrict. These heels were created for women who navigate boardrooms, runways, and everything in between with confidence and ease.
April & Alex’s footwear launch is a natural extension of the brand’s ethos, fearless, refined, and deeply intentional. With craftsmanship, comfort, and commanding style at its core, this collection delivers a compelling message: power looks like this.
