Roger Vivier: The Legendary French Leather Footwear Brand

Roger Vivier, a legendary brand for shoes and leather goods from France, is celebrated in the fashion world with the moniker “THE FABERGÉ OF FOOTWEAR.” Under the craftsmanship of “Monsieur Roger Vivier,” a designer who revolutionised haute couture, the brand has been behind the success of numerous high fashion footwear collections, including those for Christian Dior (1953-1957), Yves Saint Laurent, Grès, Nina Ricci, and Balmain.

Roger Vivier and the Creation of High Heels for Women

Monsieur Roger Vivier, a master shoemaker, continually created new structures and was the pioneer of various high-heeled shoes, including the Stiletto, Virgule (comma-shaped heel), Choc (curved heel), and Marlene (jewellery-adorned heel). His designs have adorned the feet of leading women worldwide, including:

• Queen Elizabeth II during her coronation in 1953
• Princess Grace Kelly
• Hollywood legend Elizabeth Taylor
• First Lady Jackie Kennedy
• Fashion icons like Catherine Deneuve and Brigitte Bardot

Recently, the Roger Vivier brand has been thrust back into the spotlight thanks to the hit Korean series Queen of Tears. Within this story, Roger Vivier’s Crystal Buckle sneakers became a favourite fashion item for Hong Hae-in, the CEO of Queen Group Company in the series. Following the series' broadcast, Roger Vivier’s sneakers, particularly the Viv’ Run and Viv’ Run Light models, became a must-have item for women, selling out quickly. Khun Proud Oranicha couldn’t resist and grabbed a pair of Roger Vivier’s Viv’ Run Light Sneakers, inspired by the impact of the Queen of Tears series.

5 Favorite Things about Roger Vivier from Proud Oranicha

With a history spanning over 80 years, Roger Vivier, a brand known for its classic shoes and accessories, has proven its longevity, standing the test of time and accompanying women through the ages. Khun Proud Oranicha is one of the many who have fallen under the spell of this classic allure and shares her experiences through her “5 Favourite Things about Roger Vivier.”

1. Blending in With K-Series: Seamlessly Integrates with Media

First up is the seamless blend with K-Series. If you’re a fan of Korean dramas, you might have already spotted Roger Vivier’s shoes, with their distinctive square buckle and unique heel designs. The brand's popularity in South Korea means that lead and supporting actresses in hit series are often seen wearing Roger Vivier. Examples include Yoon Se-ri from Crash Landing On You, Yoon Hye-jin from Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha, and most recently, Hong Hae-in in Queen of Tears.

What impresses Khun Proud Oranicha most about Roger Vivier is its ability to seamlessly blend its shoes and accessories into the storytelling of Korean dramas. She’s been captivated by this on numerous occasions and proudly flaunts her Queen of Tears sneakers, sharing her thoughts:

“I love how Roger Vivier can blend in so well with K-Series. Most recently, in Queen of Tears, where Paek Hyeon-woo buys Roger Viver’s Viv’ Run Light Sneakers for Hong Hae-in because he wants her to wear comfortable shoes. I wanted to wear this pair too; that scene was so impactful.”

2. Paris Fashion Week Presentation: Expressing Design Through Every Detail

The second point of admiration comes from Paris Fashion Week! Many of you might have seen Khun Proud attending Paris Fashion Week every season, where she not only enjoys the fashion shows and the beauty of this magnificent city but also experiences the highly exclusive and private presentations by Roger Vivier.

Experiencing the real deal—the lights, sounds, and performances that transport you to another world, created to showcase the designs of Roger Vivier by Gherardo Felloni, the brand’s Creative Director. These presentations beautifully convey the stories and inspirations from the maison to every woman.

“I really love their presentations in Paris because, with every new collection, they create a room that’s decorated to match that collection, allowing us to see their products—from shoes to bags and accessories—in an even more stunning light, making me want to own them even more.”

3. Classic with a Twist: Adding Fun with Design Details

Another point of admiration that Khun Proud Oranicha has for Roger Vivier is their design work. It’s not just about the stylish sneakers worn by Hong Hae-in in the Queen of Tears series, but also the playful design innovations that never stop evolving, living up to the brand’s reputation as a fashion revolutionary. Roger Vivier takes classic shoes and adds interest through embroidery, adding sparkle, and creating a modern yet timeless appeal that’s sure to delight fashionistas like her.

“During the last Paris Fashion Week, I saw the classic Mary Jane model, but they added a playful touch by embroidering diamonds on the velvet. It’s so adorable—this is a pair I really want for myself.”

4. Mary Jane Collection: The Everlasting Classic Shoe Style that Matches Every Look

In every person’s style, there are certain items that become a personal signature, something that can be worn and matched with every look. For Khun Proud Oranicha, that item is the Mary Jane shoe. Naturally, Roger Vivier’s take on this classic is both playful and dazzling, leaving a lasting impression.

“The Mary Jane shoe is my absolute favourite because it works with every look, every season, and every occasion. But what sets Roger Vivier apart from other brands is the signature Crystal Buckle, which adorns the shoes. It makes your legs look stunning, and anyone who sees them will know they’re Roger Vivier.”

5. Timeless Style: The Eternal Classic Design that Transcends Time

Finally, we end with the timeless, eternal classic style of Roger Vivier. No matter how many years pass, the brand never fails to impress women. Roger Vivier never abandons its identity, always bringing its unique flair and exceptional craftsmanship to the table, creating designs that are timeless, never out of date, while subtly adding the brand's playful spirit.

“I’ve seen the Belle Vivier model since I was a child, and even today, it’s still a classic piece that can be worn without ever going out of style. This pair was designed by Monsieur Roger Vivier, the brand's founder, who created all these high-heeled shoes we still use today.”
