ROGER VIVIER MARCHES TO THE BEAT OF HIS OWN ELEGANT DRUMMER

Some brand set trends, other brands chase them and still others do exactly what they please no matter what else might be going on in the industry. Roger Vivier, with its pointed toes and signature pilgrim buckles, is a brand of the third type, and this season, fashion has gotten behind Vivier’s refined aesthetic whole-heartedly; there are few more civilized places to spot this season’s trends.

For this brand, of course, they’re not trends. Vivier makes shoes for Upper East Side ladies and European aristocrats, and the rest of us are just along for the ride. And for Fall 2011, it’s a mostly splendid journey with contrasting metallic heels and a bit of strass sparkle here and there. If Louboutin heel heights aren’t your thing, you may be a Vivier woman at heart .

ROGER VIVIER SPRING/ SUMMER 2011 COLLECTION

Roger Vivier’s shoes are loved by celebrities and there is no wonder why it happens.

These shoes are just fabulous. Beautiful design, great materials and perfect fit, what else do we need? The Spring/ Summer 2011 collection by Roger Vivier looks interesting. It includes not only pumps in classic style which famous women usually opt for red carpet events but also pretty flats and sandals.

Zebra-printed shoes look the best for me. And the electric blue suede pumps are impressive, too. However, there is a pair in Roger Vivier’s Spring/ Summer 2011 collection that I will never go for – the sheer plastic one with kitten heels. What do you think?!
