Hardback. Condition: Very Good. In 1954, Roger Vivier invented the stiletto heel with its bold arch to complement the elegant models of Christian Dior. It was Vivier, too, who introduced the first black vinyl thigh-high boots that so flattered the leg, and later the practical square-toed pumps that endowed the urban amazon with her intrepid stride.Combining traditional techniques with bold touches of inspiration, this shoemaker extraordinaire made use of an unforeseen range of materials from fairy-tale embroidery and transparent plastic to metallic kid-skin and metal mesh, bending the conventional inventory of styles to his creative caprices without ever losing sight of his classical resources. Vivier's designs soon brought him into the international spotlight. For one of Rudolf Nureyev's first performances in the free world he created crocodile thigh-high boots, for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth, gold kid sandals, and for Catherine Deneuve as the infamous belle du jour, the wildly popular square-toed flats with silver buckles. Nicknamed the king of the heel, this architect of fanciful footwear was always a step ahead of his day.…

"Vivier has been called the "Fragonard of the shoe" and his shoes "the Fabergé of Footwear" by numbers of critics. He designed extravagant, richly decorated shoes that he described as sculptures. He is credited with the design of the first platform shoe in 1937 and the first stiletto heel in 1954. Stiletto heels, the very thin high heel, were certainly discovered around in the late 19th century, as numerous fetish drawings attest, but Vivier is known for reviving and developing this opulent style by using a thin rod of steel.

hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…
