The History of The Roger Vivier Belle Vivier Heels:
In 1965, Roger Vivier experienced a meteoric rise to fame. For Yves Saint Laurent’s presentation of his Mondrian collection, he created a traditional black pump that was adorned with an enormous chrome-plated buckle. Women flocked to Vivier’s boutique in Paris to purchase a pair of the shoes, which quickly became the most sought-after footwear of the season. The shoes became known as the “Belle Vivier” – the Maison’s most recognizable design – after Catherine Deneuve wore a pair in the 1967 movie “Belle de Jour,” which eternally immortalized them on screen.
In 2016, the Mason created another legendary style with the Belle as his inspiration. The Flower Strass is unique in that the characteristic metal buckle is embellished with jeweled flowers. It is hand created by Italian artisans using materials including satin and velvet. The Flower Strass is now a favorite of stars on the red carpet like Nicole Kidman, Céline Dion, and Brigitte Macron, in addition to being a favorite of Roger Vivier. The Belle Vivier, however, is still the more enduring and well-known of the two!
The Belle Vivier is a timeless design that will never go out of style. Additionally, if you are looking for a quiet luxury shoe, this is the one. It will always be chic!
