Conceived under the creative direction of Gherardo Felloni, the new Roger Vivier Atelier Animalier Spring 2026 Pièce Unique collection brings together archives, craftsmanship and contemporary creation in a single cultural moment, alongside the presentation of the new monograph Roger Vivier: Heritage and Imagination, published by Rizzoli.

Comprised of 11 one-of-a-kind Efflorescence Jewel bags, the Atelier Animalier is an exploration of animalier as a historical code of the Maison, not as decoration, but as a language.

Each piece is conceived as a singular work, handmade in the Roger Vivier ateliers. The Efflorescence Jewel bag, a signature of the Maison, becomes a sculptural canvas for experimentation, elevated through exceptional embroidery, feather work, metal applications, crystals, semi-precious stones and hand-painted surfaces. The gilets extend the same vocabulary into silhouette, translating the Maison’s codes into precious garments with a couture sensibility.

Materials are combined for contrast and rhythm: satin bases enriched with dense embroidery, plumage applied with architectural precision, stones selected to amplify color and depth. Green, blue and pink, tones intrinsic to the Vivier palette, reframe animalier patterns with confidence and joie de vivre, reinforcing their modernity.

Book, exhibition and collection are conceived as chapters of the same narrative. Opening the archives is not an act of retrospection, but one of cultural continuity: a way of showing how Maison’s codes remain alive when interpreted through the present. With Atelier Animalier, Roger Vivier affirms its position as a Parisian Maison where heritage is not preserved as a static memory but activated through creation. Animalier, once audacious, now reimagined, become an expression of confidence, elegance and freedom. A code that evolves, transforms, and continues to speak to today.
