STEVE MADDEN

A man who wears many hats – and shoes, Steve Madden cannot be described in one word. He is an entrepreneur, an award-winning designer, a business titan, and a 
family man. The eponymous shoe designer is also the subject of the documentary film, MADDMAN: The Steve Madden Story on Netflix. A movie that delves into the man who built a booming brand and nearly lost it to “The Wolf of Wall Street,” only to rebound with a global empire. He’s endured failures and of course successes without forgetting his humble beginnings or his core consumer, resulting in millions of adoring fans worldwide.  Considered the fashion footwear mogul of the 21st century, Madden has an innate sense of what’s hot, what’s next, what’s exciting and more importantly, how this will translate to the customer. Inspired by rock and roll, fused with a jolt of sex appeal and urban edge, Madden creates shoes that are innovative, fun, sometimes wild and always spot-on-chic.
