Roger Vivier will release a new limited edition concept line to bridge the gap between its mainstream collection and couture range. The Rendez-Vous range will feature high class handbags and shoes.
The fashion house’s creative director Bruno Frisoni says the Rendez-Vous collection marks a fresher and more modern direction for Roger Vivier. I’m not sure whether I agree with that, as the fashion items are really just reworked versions of the brand’s already iconic designs. They might be more modern, but rehashing something you already have hardly seems fresh does it?
It might not be as inspiring as something entirely new, but I still love the delicate teak sequins adorning the brand’s iconic Miss Viv bag. I’m less convinced by the wooden pearl version, although I’m sure some boho babes would flip over it.
Audiences will be introduced to the Rendez-Vous collection when it tours a number of Roger Vivier stores around the world from January 2011.
