Virgule, etc. In the footsteps of Roger Vivier

Until 18/11/2013

Palais De Tokyo- Paris

 

Maison Roger Vivier will present a retrospective exhibition at Palais de Tokyo in Paris, to celebrate its eponymous founder, inventor and benchmark reference in the history of fashion. With the Fashion Program, Palais de Tokyo explores innovative experiments in the field of fashion, creation or beauty, that marks the reinvention of the codes of presenting dressmaking, and changing our relationship to the body.

The exhibition, curated by Olivier Saillard is designed as a pastiche of a museum dedicated to shoes. It reaffirms the archetypal elements of the Louvre or the Prado, drawing on Roger Vivier’s inspirations. A taste of Africa, for the Orient , the 18th century, French and English artists – these are all themes that the shoemaker shared with the most venerable art institutions. Visitors will be taken on a journey through a landscape of showcases, reminiscent of the 19th century and with the dated charm of conserved, historical objects. More an inventor than a shoemaker, Roger Vivier began his career in the 1930s and the 140 models exhibited  at the Palais de Tokyo retrace this path.
