VIBE

Known as the “Fabergé of Footwear" and the “Fragonard of the Shoe,” Roger Vivier’s exquisite stilettos have graced the feet of everyone from Queen Elizabeth II (on her coronation day, no less) to glamorous stars like Marlene Dietrich and Elizabeth Taylor. Though Vivier passed away in 1998, the line–now in the hands of cult designer Bruno Frisoni–continues to attract attention with its signature luxury (silk, pearls, and glitter are favorite materials) and chic designs. Vivier’s sleek Paris flagship is ultra minimalist, with bright white walls and furnishings–all the better to display the line’s eye-catching designs.

GOOD TO KNOW

Roger Vivier’s classic designs are so iconic (this is, after all, the man who popularized the stiletto) that they’re featured in fashion exhibits at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
