The story of the Uptown/Downtown collection, found in the Roger Vivier lookbook fall/winter 2011, is so good it had to be quoted here in its entirety.
“Crossing the night's threshold, moving from the daylight glam of Faubourg Saint-Honoré to the nocturnal 80s vibe of the legendary Parisian night club Le Palace, the Vivier woman is ever daring, ever chic. Belle de jour or sensual by night, she adores luxury, fine-crafted with Roger Vivier expertise and signature humorous twist.
Uptown New York, she's spied on Park Avenue in vertiginous heels and Miss Viv' Perfo bag. Dining Downtown at Bank Street's Waverly Inn, she exudes allure in her Palace 10 centimetre heels.
Hong Kong Central sees her in Boomerang boots and the new Nonsense clutch whilst in London's Mayfair she teams slim pants and biker jacket with Rallye ballerinas and Rock'n'Metro bag.
She paints the town red at Shanghai's The Bund in Crystal Palace pumps with Viv'R clutch and last but not least, Gstaad plays host to this young beauty in chunky 12 thread cashmere and Leg-up, her XXLong thigh-high boots stocking-styled in ultra-supple leather and worn with her Basquiat inspired Guardian Angel clutch in pink.
Bruno Frisoni, creative director for Roger Vivier, presents a blend of dreams and refinement, joy and chic, glamour and surprise, for both day and night. He captures every aspect of being urban: Uptown-Downtown, the spirit of our time, contrast-laden and playful. As with her heels or bags, the Roger Vivier woman remains true to her values and the timeless virtues of the Maison classics, thanks to the debut of styles sealed with the iconic R.V signature, recognisable in the Maison's emblematic buckle.
Quintessentially Parisian. Quintessentially Chic.
