Since its conception in 1937, the emblematic house of Roger Vivier has served as a shining example of flair and craftsmanship. Known for its elegant occasion footwear and statement accessories, the brand is lauded for its distinctive designs such as the iconic Belle Vivier pump, which features a distinctive square toe and metallic buckle. With its products having graced the feet of some of history’s most notable figures like British actress Audrey Hepburn and Queen Elizabeth II, the brand continues to be synonymous with class and prestige.
In tandem with the release of its fall/winter 2024 collection, Roger Vivier has officially unveiled its exclusive VIVIER OP-TICAL pop-up in Singapore. Housed within The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands, the pop-up is envisioned by Italian designer and creative director Gherardo Felloni, featuring bold and graphic patterns heavily-inspired by the geometric works of the French Op art movement. Welcoming all guests is an entrance that features wavy-arched kaleidoscopic prints, its psychedelic nature both nostalgic and futuristic all at once. Glossy bubblegum pink walls, circular podiums and cushy furniture make up the rest of the plush interior, further adding to the immersive store space.
“The ’60s were a prolific period for Roger Vivier, steering his aesthetic towards a more refined and innovative approach,” shares Felloni in the official press release. “I’ve long aspired to reimagine the timeless creations of that era, and felt the time was right to reintroduce them in innovative, fresh, and contemporary versions.” And reimagine he did, with house classics boasting fresh colourways and detailing, Amongst them included iconic archival designs such as the Viv’ Canard, with its sleek and sharp silhouette now offered in a buttery black suede. Several slingbacks and pumps are given the OP-TICAL treatment, offered in monochromatic spiral motifs similar to the pop-up. As for bags, the Jewel Flower bag is given a revamp, now boasting soft wool fringes, a bejewelled handle and adjustable calfskin shoulder strap.
Rounding out the array of dazzling options includes several new designs such as the Viv’ Podium ankle strap pumps and the Viv’ Choc bag, both set to be surefire favourites. Lastly, a limited-edition capsule line featuring three of the maison’s beloved styles—namely the Belle Vivier slingbacks, Trompette mules, and Flower Strass pumps—come in collectible colours, each as versatile staples that will remain timeless in this transient and ever-changing fashion landscape.
