Roger Vivier @ FW2014/15 Collection

Roger Vivier FW2014/15 Collection inspired by nomads of the steppes, rugs from the Orient in a modern and luxurious bazar, a cool breeze blows over accessories; luxuriant markets of Central Asia.  Boots adopt a sporting air, the new bag celebrates the über-Parisian nonchalance of Ines de la Fressange and shiny leathers add their vintage mark.

The iconic <Virgule> invents a new equation with <Virgule ²  > (Virgule square). For the first time, the audacious heel launches out on a square-toed ankle boot. This look heralds the "cool wind" blowing through the 2014-2015 Autumn-Winter accessories. The open part at the back gives it that sexy touch that is so Vivier. Its graphic look is all about mixing materials.

The Ines.

Ines de la Fressange, Roger Vivier’s Ambassador, has given her name to a new bag. Its chic nonchalance is a direct reference to the model’s unique allure. Less structured and more flexible than other bags in the collection, Ines is clearly a new classic combining simplicity and sophistication. A timeless bag that will be handed down from mother to daughter. With its distinctive brand new popper clasp, <Ines> is available as a shoulder bag in two sizes: shopping and envelope. It is quick and easy to open and can be carried like a clutch or over the shoulder with a fine gold chain. The bags take on the season’s colours in smooth leather, suede and “crash metal”. 

The essential sexiness comes with the new Stiletto-Sphère, providing the luxurious mystery. Eternal muse Ines de la Fressange offers her allure and name to the season’s new bag. The <Ines> is clearly the bag, a timeless object that will be handed down from mother to daughter and will become the intimate friend of this “very beautiful and very simple girl”, as Bruno Frisoni likes to describe her.

 The heel is the emblem of seduction à la Roger Vivier. The daring <Virgule> is introduced for the first time on high boots and ankle boots. For this new version the square toe is key and called <Virgule ²> (Virgule square). Always with heels, Bruno Frisoni plays the card of a whole new world with <Stiletto-Sphère>. Stuck by a vertiginous needle, a ball nestles under the heel. The signature codes are still at the heart of the collection. The buckle has been given a new shape and is applied to court shoes like a crest.

The <U-Look> line adopts the seasonal soft leathers and launches its famous U heel on a boot. As though slipped into the Spring-Summer sandal, decorated with the precious buckle, its square-tipped shape plays tricks with its trompe-l’œil effect.

 <Miss Viv’>, the evergreen classic handbag at Roger Vivier, is re-interpreted in new materials and colours.

The climax of Roger Vivier’s extraordinary savoir-faire, silks, lames and embroidery dazzle on this season’s boots, stilettos and bags. Leather or beaded Indian flowers, panther prints and “plush” tapestry combine to create cooler, sportier lines. This play on volumes and fabrics accentuates the mix of genres and imposes their own idea of cosmopolitan luxury.
