Roger Vivier on show

French women's footwear brand Roger Vivier held a preview of its 2015 spring/summer collection in Beijing in mid-January. The collection is inspired by the light and shadows in summer. The classic Pilgrim pumps are reinterpreted with buckles that combine two different shades of colors, imitating the effect of light and shadow. The Miss Viv' handbags are recreated with cleaner lines and more functionality. The glamorous evening line combines precious skins with vivid colors and glittering gemstones.
