For the Roger Vivier Fall 2026 “CHOC: Architecture de la Séduction” collection, Gherardo Felloni places the Talon Choc at the center of a renewed reflection on femininity as a statement. Concave, sculptural and architectural, it defied conventions standing on a curved line, a decisive edge.

 

Parisian femininity has always been a matter of attitude: intellectual, ironic, disciplined. Throughout the collection, this narrative unfolds in strong yet rigorously composed silhouettes. A minimal black nappa ankle boot expresses authority through purity of line. Pumps adorned with metal bows, encrusted in strass yet rigid and sculptural, reinterpret a traditionally soft emblem of femininity into something protective, almost armor-like.

In contrast, a lower Choc heel emerges through new embroidered and buckled interpretations of cuissardes, offering an enveloping, intimate sensuality. Like at the time when Monsieur Vivier introduced them, in this collection over-the-knee boots become symbols of independence, evoking the figure of the modern Amazon.

The Rose Vivier line is revisited in exceptional leather variations and introduces a new bag, highlighting the virtuosity of the ateliers. Each leather petal is cut, shaped and applied by hand, one by one, by a dedicated artisan. Through this meticulous process, the surface of the bag is gradually transformed into a three-dimensional composition, where layers of supple leather create depth, turning craftsmanship into architecture.

Like every season, the Belle Vivier, one of the Maison’s most enduring icons, is further explored through new expressions of the slingback in woven leather and suede. Also interpreted in new materials, the Belle Vivier clutch echoes the architectural precision of its buckle, crafted with meticulous attention to proportion and finish.
