Founded in 1937, Roger Vivier was one of the most talented shoe designers of the XX century. This French polifacético revolutionized the world of the calzado de lujo and the high costura gracias a su imaginación y a su grand ojo para los details. A long time ago, I loved the most famous women, from Queen Isabel II and Josephine Baker to Brigitte Bardot and Elizabeth Taylor.
Art of heart and brilliant designer, worked first by Christian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Balmain. After creating his homonymous house, he perfected his art during the rest of his life. Roger Vivier invented more than 20 new tacon shapes. Needle, Shock, Comma and Punch, by cite only some, its graphic and sculptural references that are decorated with brilliant colors, suntuosos borderados or adorned with geometric and architectural details.
So, the woman is in the center of her art and learns the history of the house with all its cotas. The model Belle Vivier is a direct reference to Luis Buñuel’s film “ Belle de jour“, protagonized by Catherine Deneuve, who converted this creation into an iconic one with the plated hebilla, timeless firmament of the house.
Roger Vivier's heritage is exhibited in the world's most important museums, such as the MET in New York, the Victoria & Albert Museum in London and the Palais Galliera in Paris. A heritage that has endured since the death of its creator with the vision of Bruno Frisoni from 2018 and Gherardo Felloni, which since many years revisited with the modernity of the archives of the house, sublimated with elegance and sophistication.
Spectacular pieces for modern women, lifted with grace by Inès de la Fressange, Cate Blanchett, Marion Cotillard, Isabelle Huppert and Sarah Jessica Parker, elevated this to the category of collectible pieces.
