A wondrous, whimsical, fairytale, Roger Vivier shoes are for women who never want to wake up from the fantasy. Designing shoes since the 1930s, Roger Vivier really is an icon, having famously designed shoes for legendary artists such as Ava Gardner, the Beatles, and Gloria Guinness. A simple glimpse at any shoe ever designed by the Vivier House, and you instantly understand why Queen Elizabeth II chose the luxury french shoemaker to dream up her shoes for her 1953 coronation ceremony, a design that would surely make any woman jealous; Queen E used her own rubies to embellish the stunning heels, decorated with her signature fleur-de-lys motif!

Having designed shoes for Christian Dior from 1953 to 1963, Roger Vivier has been the great inspiration behind other famed shoe designers such as Christian Louboutin and Manolo Blahnik. Bruno Frisoni, the current creative director behind RV, has designed a dreamy Fall 2009/Winter 2010 collection that makes us want to strut the red carpet many times over! Characteristically feminine with an edge, the collection features soft fabrics like satin and lace, paired with bows, florals, and hearts, and contrasted with leather, sky high heels, and many other details that can turn any girl into a powerful womanly creature. And of course, as lasting tribute to both the late Roger Vivier and Queen Elizabeth II, Frisoni’s Fall 2009/Winter 2010 collection embraces the fleur-de-lys in this fit for a queen-inspired season.

Many of you may not know this, but Roger Vivier could very well be adding that extra oomph to your step everyday; he is credited as being the father of the stiletto, taking a dream and reviving it into a sky-high, thin steel-heeled reality. Something to thank him for everyday! When it comes to creme de la creme of sensational shoes, Roger Vivier is the name you must remember.

Just on a side note, lots of Hollywood celebrities such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Charlize Theron, Sienna Miller, Liv Tyler, Kate Winslet, Katie Holmes, Sharon Stone, Natalie Portman, Cate Blanchett and Kate Beckinsale are loving the Roger Vivier pumps/shoes. They are must-have items in your closet!
