Roger Vivier Exhibition at the Bata Shoe Museum

Well, what could be more wonderful than photographing the creative work of the 20th century great French shoe designer Roger Vivier! Heartline Pictures was asked by Toronto’s Bata Shoe Museum to photograph Vivier’s shoes for the exhibition Roger Vivier: From Process to Perfection. Vivier is the inventor of the stiletto heel. His shoes are considered to be the “Faberge of shoe design”. His shoes have been worn by notable celebrities including the actress Ava Gardner and Queen Elizabeth. For a decade, from 1953 to 1963, Vivier designed shoes for the great fashion designer Christian Dior. We have worked with the Bata Shoe Museum on many of its exhibitions, and we have to say that it is an amazing rush working with shoes that once belonged to the likes of the Beatles.
