On 29 November, Roger Vivier, the luxury shoemaker from Paris - and the label that is widely credited with the stiletto - celebrated the official opening of its first flagship boutique in Singapore. Located at the Takashimaya Shopping Centre in Ngee Ann City, the retail space carries a selection of exclusive and sophisticated women’s footwear, handbags and accessories.

Bruno Frisoni, Creative Director and Ines de la Fressange, Roger Vivier Ambassador, hosted a celebratory cocktail reception at the Roger Vivier boutique, followed by an exclusive dinner at Clifford, The Fullerton Bay Hotel.
