Born in 1907, Roger Vivier, known as the Fabergé of footwear, created shoes that looked like works of art. In 1924, he began studying sculpture at the école des Beaux-Arts in Paris, but two years later he left the school to learn the art of shoemaking and began an apprenticeship. In 1937, Roger Vivier opened his first boutique on Rue Royale in Paris, earning the title "the Fragonard of footwear." High heels were his forte—he was the father of the Aiguille stiletto heel, launched in 1954, while the sinuous Virgule heel has been considered the signature of his eponymous brand since 1963.
