Roger Vivier has revealed its latest project for Autumn Winter 2025/26: La Rose Vivier Pièce Unique, a continuation of its previous prêt-à-porter collection focused on the rose.
The new instalment takes the motif further, transforming it into sculpted and embroidered forms. Central to the collection are eight Efflorescence Jewel bags, each accompanied by two matching gilets designed to extend the silhouette.
For the first time, the house of Roger Vivier has collaborated with Maison Lesage, the historic Parisian embroidery atelier. The project builds on a creative relationship dating back to the 1980s, when Roger Vivier worked closely with Lesage, incorporating embroidery into the core of his designs. This latest chapter marks a new interpretation of that legacy.
Maison Lesage granted access to its archive for the project, offering Creative Director Gherardo Felloni a wide range of materials including beaded appliqués, vintage textures and historic embroidery components. Rather than focusing on homage or reproduction, the collaboration is centred on invention, using Lesage’s techniques and savoir-faire to shape entirely new objects.
Unlike traditional accessories, the embroidery is not applied externally but embedded into the design from the outset. Each piece begins with a historical reference point, such as a velvet cape stitch or faded rose on a bodice, and evolves into a gilet or bag through handcrafted detail and gold thread. These items are not accessories in the conventional sense but tactile, sculptural pieces.
The collection was presented in Roger Vivier’s Salle d’Argent, staged with ceramic rose petals in different shades mounted on the walls. The bags were placed on sculptural stands, with the gilets encircling them in installations described as playful and surreal.
The two gilets included in each set are designed to complement the bags both visually and in craftsmanship. While not intended as garments alone, they function as extensions of the bags, reinforcing the concept of wearable art.
La Rose Vivier Pièce Unique explores contrasts including softness and sharpness, as well as tradition and transformation. It presents the rose as a subject reborn—anchored in heritage but expressed in new forms.
Both Roger Vivier and Lesage are headquartered in Paris and are known for their contributions to French luxury design. This collection reinforces their shared commitment to artistry, technical precision and creative reinvention.
