All Roger Vivier accessories tell a story. Their language is light-hearted, brimming with sensuality and joie de vivre.
Ever since the opening of his inaugural Paris boutique in 1937, Roger Vivier has designed footwear for the emancipated woman. The French cordwainer, whose delicate and sumptuous footwear had already made his renown, pulled off a master stroke in 1954 by elevating the stiletto heel to the ranks of iconic fashion. With that one design, he invested women with a whole new aura. More creations were to follow, all equally spectacular – The Choc heel in 1959, the 1963 Virgule heel, vinyl thigh boots in 1966, and then leather versions in 1967.
This Spring Summer 2017 season the Vivier woman is ready to travel, and with her comes her unique sense of luxury and sophistication. Parisienne at her soul, she is multicultural and deeply connected to the world around her. She mixes with aplomb influences from near and far and is just as at ease in Ibiza as she is in Paris while deftly playing with traditional codes day and night dressing.

CREATIVE DIRECTOR
Roger Vivier continues to evolve with its Creative Director, Gherardo Felloni, who joined the Maison in March 2018. An aficionado of the arts and an eclectic collector – as was Monsieur Vivier – Felloni brings his artistic passion and unique flair for design into a Maison that appreciates visionary thinking.
THE ARTISANS
It takes more than 20 steps and 40 pairs of hands to create a pair of Roger Vivier shoes, with each artisan possessing a different skill from the other. It is a time-consuming, intricately detailed and very technical process that only a few are privileged to see and even fewer are entitled to be a part of - these are the artisans of Roger Vivier.
For me Roger Vivier has always been a source of reference in my work. Mr Vivier was the master of shoes. It’s an honour to work for the Maison that he created.
