Abstract

« Ce matin, sur mon kayak, je suis partie, seule, pagayant vers ma liberté toute neuve. Percy m’a quittée hier. Il a décidé de ne pas poursuivre le voyage. Me laissant libre de partir avec lui ou pas.Tel un ultimatum. Je ne l’ai pas suivi. La tempête que nous avons essuyée avant-hier était- elle à l’image de notre couple qui chavire ? Peut-être. C’est donc moi qui le quitte. Au fond, je l’ai déjà fait depuis longtemps, je crois. Et devant moi la liberté. » Charlotte Perriand (1903-1999) est l’une des plus grandes figures de l’architecture du XXe siècle. Femme libre, engagée, avant-gardiste, elle a contribué à inventer notre modernité.Ce livre est son journal imaginaire.

Abstract

A gorgeous tribute to the legendary shoe and accessories designs of Roger Vivier. Master designer Roger Vivier elevated both the form and decoration of ladies' shoes during his sixty-year career. His innate Parisian style embodied a sense of perfection and craftsmanship, and his work was coveted by style icons from Elsa Schiaparelli to Jackie Onassis. Described by Yves St. Laurent as bringing to his work a "level of charm, delicacy, refinement and poetry unsurpassed," he created the first stiletto heel for a ready-to-wear shoe line with the house of Dior in 1955. His shoes are legendary, and the tradition of his innovative spirit continues with the revival of the house by current designer Bruno Frisoni, who has updated Vivier's concepts, bringing his own touch to signature shapes and embellishments (including the buckle pump made famous by Catherine Deneuve in Belle du Jour).
