COMING UP ROSES: Roses were everywhere Thursday night — decorating dining tables, mantelpieces and the toe boxes of velvet pumps and flats — as Roger Vivier hosted its first dinner at the new Paris headquarters it christened last month in a lavish 18th-century mansion on the Left Bank of Paris.
The occasion was to celebrate the exclusive rose-themed holiday capsule Vivier created for digital retailer Mytheresa.
Poured into a long black Victoria Beckham dress with a slashed skirt, French actress Eva Green posed for photographers at the foot of the Maison Vivier’s grand stone staircase. She embraced the evening’s cohosts, Vivier creative director Gherardo Felloni and longtime brand ambassador Inès de la Fressange, and toured its exhibition and reception spaces before repairing upstairs for dinner.
Green recently wrapped “Just Play Dead,” a movie opposite Samuel L. Jackson filmed in the Canary Islands.
“It’s a comedy about a couple having a crazy relationship, with a lot of great banter,” she related. “It was very jubilating and lots of fun to do.”
Asked about her costumes, she exclaimed: “Oh, my god. For the fun parts — this is so weird — we ordered a lot of stuff from Mytheresa, lots of clothes…. Mytheresa was very present. I’m not saying this because it’s a Mytheresa event!
“It was so quick and so efficient. The costume designer was like, ‘You should look at Mytheresa’ because my character is an ex-escort, and she wears a lot of expensive clothes,” she related, also confessing that her Beckham dress was purchased online at Mytheresa.
After mingling with top clients, editors and influencers in attendance, Michael Kliger, chief executive officer of Mytheresa parent LuxExperience, raised a toast and described Vivier as “the Fabergé of footwear.”
