Roger Vivier
Roger Vivier is the Paris luxury footwear and accessories house built on the work of French shoemaker Roger Vivier. The original designer’s innovations include sculptural heels and a long relationship with couture, while the contemporary house develops shoes, bags, jewellery and small leather goods. Gherardo Felloni has been Creative Director since 2018, after Bruno Frisoni’s 2003–2018 tenure. Roger Vivier belongs to Tod’s Group, so the page distinguishes the founder’s historic authorship, Felloni’s current creative mandate and group ownership. Tod’s Group reporting is not represented as Roger Vivier-only revenue, earnings or valuation unless the company makes a direct brand-level disclosure.
