| Shoe Porn Friday: 'A Queen Forever', Part II Courtesy of Roger Vivier |
Two weeks ago I posted the sketch of the shoes Bruno Frisoni had created for Roger Vivier finding inspiration in the Queen's coronation shoes. Last Wednesday night Roger Vivier invited me to preview the final result at the Masterpiece Brilliant Exhibition, which opened yesterday and will run until July 4th.
It was impressive how such an opulent piece of an astronomical price could actually be so elegant and subtle. The 4000 diamonds that shape the fleur-de-lys motif are beautifully shaped like stars and circles as if descended from the heavens. As I was told, the idea behind the design was that as a tired queen rips her diamond necklace from her neck the diamonds fall onto her feet and stick to her shoes. Pretty royal.
If you have a chance, I recommend you stop by to check this and some of the other exquisite pieces at the exhibition.
