This latest publication dedicated to Roger Vivier provides a comprehensive look at the fashion house’s rise, documenting the transition from the founder’s original mastery to the contemporary vision of Gherardo Felloni.
A Revolutionary Legacy: regarded as one of the most daring footwear masters of the 20th century, Roger Vivier (born 1907) defined seven decades of fashion history. Among his most celebrated innovations are:
• The famous Virgule (comma) heel.
• The iconic metallic buckle.
• The shoes showcased by Catherine Deneuve in the cinematic masterpiece Belle de Jour.
Global Renaissance: although the business shuttered prior to the founder’s passing in 1998, the brand experienced a powerful rebirth starting in 2003. Thanks to the intervention of Diego Della Valle, the artisanal Parisian workshop evolved into a global luxury powerhouse, expanding its influence into the high-end accessory market.
The Gherardo Felloni Era: since 2018, the creative helm has been held by Felloni, who skillfully balances reverence for the maison’s historical codes with an avant-garde spirit. His approach goes beyond product design, merging fashion with theatricality in a modern and captivating synthesis. A Definitive Work for Collectors.
