Chic Shop: Roger Vivier Hong Kong

I meant to post these images before I went on holiday. This is the new Roger Vivier store at the Landmark in Central. Above is the VIP room filled with furnishings and accents handpicked by Bruno Frisoni and Ines de la Fressange. Both creative visionaries were present at the store opening. The VIP room is filled with haute couture Roger Vivier pieces which would make any woman salivate with lust.

This is the entrance to the shop. The mobile is by a contemporary French artist.

I love this display case in the VIP room. It's very chic and glamorous.

This is an antique French commode which Ines de la Fressange sourced herself.

On the walls of the store are original collages done by Roger Vivier, inventor of the stiletto heel. I am sure these pieces are worth a lot of money.

Chic Gift from Bruno Frisoni of Roger Vivier

I've always wanted a sketch from Bruno Frisoni ever since I met him several years ago. Yesterday, I met the designer once again at the fabulous new store of Roger Vivier at The Landmark and after our interview, Bruno grabbed his sketchbook and his markers and started doing this sketch for me right on the spot!! I would have been happy with one of his doodles that didn't make the shoe production. But this one that he specially drew for me is completely amazing and it will have pride of place in our apartment! Thank you, Bruno and to Catherine Ku of Roger Vivier.

My interview with Bruno wasn't until 4pm yesterday. But after lunch at 2, crossing the bridge from Chater House to Exchange Square on my way to gym, I bumped into Bruno which I thought was so surreal. You often see designers out and about in New York, Paris and Milan but never in Hong Kong.

I will post photos of the Roger Vivier store later, including a very candid photo of me and one of my style icons Ines de la Fressange. Meanwhile, I have to pack for the Maldives.

Chic Transformation - Roger Vivier

Bruno Frisoni's sketches of shoe designs for the house of Roger Vivier come to life. It's amazing how the finished products are made exactly as per Frisoni's renderings. 

Imagine wearing this gladiator sandal in the Isle of Capri 

or this stiletto Kyte shoe at a summer party in the Hamptons. Oh so chic!
