Michael Vivien

Passed by the biggest houses like Christian Dior, Lanvin, Alexander McQueen or Yves Saint-Laurent for which he designed freelance collections, Michel Vivien claims it, he is a "craftsman of the shoe". For this French designer, it is impossible to see creation without the manual work and know-how it entails. In his Parisian workshop, this women lover sculpts his own shapes to give birth to shoes "in which we live". They are dictated by a constant search between balance and audacity, comfort and sensuality. The result are devilishly euphoric feminine collections with ultra high-end finishes. His signature? A Louis XV block heel with torrid charm.
