TIFF - It's gonna be tough! To Tell YOU What to Watch!
Roger Vivier Opens @ The Bata Shoe Museum
Vivier has been called the "Fragonard of the shoe" and his shoes "the Faberge of Footwear" by numbers of critics. This is a MUST SEE COLLECTION!
The First Exhibition in North America to feature exquisite footwear by Roger Vivier, master shoemaker - his shoes were the epitome of mid-century glamour and Vivier's early training in sculpture at Ecole des Beaux Arts is evident in the sculptural heels and toes he designed for Dior.
Vivier set out on his own in 1963 - Hippie chic or what? This was released in the '80's renowned as the Cuissarde boot, elaborate beading done by Francois Lesage with the Pyramide heel a perfection in pointed balance!
Vivier left France after World War II and arrived in the United States at the invitation of American shoemaker Herman Delman. Then he met sexy milliner Suzanne Remy - he went into making Hats!
A well-stepped-out-in-Vivier-style guest flaunts her Viv-a-cious footwear in honour of the KING of HEELS!
Viv,viv,viv,viv~~~~~~~~velvet? OOOOHHHHHH!
