Roger Vivier

Vivier was called the "Faberge of shoes" and he worked with Christian Dior, who allowed Vivier's name on the label along his own.

Vivier would go on to create shoes for Balmain, Grès, Balenciaga,

 Nina Ricci, Courrèges, Guy Laroche, and Saint Laurent, his most

 significant collaborator.
