ROGER VIVIER “I am making masculine shoes,’’ said Bruno Frisoni, as he showed me flat shoes and a mannish approach in the low boots in graphic black-and-white checks – large or small.  Looking up at a crystal chandelier with a pair of thigh-high boots swinging, disembodied, like a photograph by Guy Bourdin, I was not totally convinced by this idea of masculine defeating feminine at Vivier. The compromise: feminine flats with graphic star patterns or colour blocks.  The skill was to find not just a decorative approach, but also to invent a new signature for Vivier and Frisoni’s three-dimensional “Prismick” cutting. The answer was not the established “virgule” or comma, shape, but the new trumpet heel – high but curved, and inspired by the cut of 1970s trousers. (责任编辑：admin) |
