Shoe Porn Friday: 'A Queen Forever'
Courtesy of Roger Vivier
Not a lot of people might know this because it's almost unimaginable for a monarch to wear anything not produced in their country but Elizabeth II actually wore Roger Vivier for her coronation in 1953 and a big par of the later years.
In celebration of the Diamond Jubilee, Bruno Frisoni, Creative Director of Roger Vivier, has created an original shoe inspired by the original Roger Vivier shoes designed for the Queen's coronation. The result is a shoe that might as well be taken to the Tower of London to be kept with the Crown Jewels. 'A Queen Forever' is totally hand-crafted and created in a collaboration with the East India company. Over 4000 cut diamonds are incrusted in an intricate setting shaped like the iconic fleur-de-lys that decorates the St Edward Crown and the Imperial State Crown worn by the Queen. All framed by black satin and jet feathers.
'A Queen Forever' will be showed to the public for the first time from June 28th until till July 4th for the occasion of the Masterpiece Brilliant Exhibition in London.
