Bre Tiesi is officially entering the footwear market with her first-ever shoe collaboration. Partnering with the brand André Assous, the Selling Sunset star will launch her collection on September 21.

A monochromatic aesthetic inspired by Los Angeles living

Tiesi’s design philosophy leans into the "quiet luxury" trend that has dominated social media feeds for the last year. according to a report from FN, the model describes her personal style as "neutral and monochromatic" with a "tiny pop of color." This approach aims to create pieces that are "digestible" for women who may not want a loud or outspoken look,but still want something that can transition from a casual day to a red carpet event.

The collection is intended to reflect a specific West Coast lifestyle, blending high-glamour elements with everyday usability. tiesi, who describes herself as a "glam girl," emphasized that the goal was to create shoes that allow for the same sense of "dress up" that women have enjoyed since childhood. by focusing on versatility, the line attempts to capture the segment of the market that values pieces that can be worn in multiple ways, from a simple daytime outfit to an evening dinner.

The rejected resort shoe and the reality of footwear design

Creating a footwear line involves significantly more technical labor than many celebrity influencers realize. Tiesi admitted to FN that she initially had "no idea" about the complexities of the industry, specifically regarding mold sizes and the intensive fitting process required to ensure quality. The report highlights a specific moment of trial and error where the team had to abandon a favorite resort shoe because the chosen material failed the comfort test.

This focus on material integrity suggests a move away from the "fast fashion" model often seen in celebrity collaborations. Solomon Dabah, the president of the parent company for André Assous, noted that the collaboration is intended to deepen engagement with existing customers and create "meaningful conversation" around the collection. By involving Tiesi in the process from start to finish, the brand is positioning the launch as a legitimate design partnership rather than a mere licensing deal.

How Nick Cannon helped bridge the gap to Solomon Dabah

The collaboration was not a coincidence but rather the result of existing industry connections. Tiesi noted that her partner,Nick Cannon, had previously done business with Solomon Dabah, which allowed the project to move from a casual conversation about Tiesi's interest in business to a full-scale production. Tiesi expressed that she and Dabah "hit it off famously," making the decision to work together an easy one for the model.

Which retailers will carry the full range beyond Nordstrom and Amazon?

While the collection is set to debut on Andreassous.com, it will also be available through several major retail partners including Nordstrom, Zappos, Von Maur, and Amazon. The price point for the collection is set to retail between $139 and $250.

However, several details regarding the launch remain unverified. It is currently unclear if the collection will be a limited-edition drop or if there will be exclusive colorways available only through the brand's direct webste. Additionally, the source does not specify if the $139 to $250 price range covers the entire collection or if certain high-end styles will sit at the top of that bracket .
