The second chapter of Roger Vivier’s captivating film series, ‘Vivier Express: Travelling Icons,’ takes viewers on a surreal journey with French actress Eva Green. As the Vivier Express glides through the twilight, Green, seated in a private cabin, witnesses the world rush by from her window. Her reflection stares back at her, creating an air of mystery and introspection.
A passage in her book catches her eye: “To wear dreams on one’s feet is to give a reality to one’s dreams.” This line becomes a guiding principle for the episode, as Green’s reflection seems to come alive, hinting at a hidden world within the train.
The episode, directed by Nicolangelo Gelormini and written by Andrea Danese, takes a turn into the classic film noir genre, showcasing a captivating blend of dreams and reality. Creative director Gherardo Felloni, known for his innovative designs, describes Green as the perfect choice for the modern-day femme fatale. She channels the essence of iconic actresses like Lauren Bacall and Bette Davis in her black tailored suit, red suede ‘I Love Vivier’ heels, and ‘Viv’ Choc bag.
Felloni elaborates on Green’s role, saying, “Films noir have always fascinated me. It’s a world where shadows speak, and every glance hides a secret. I wanted Eva to be our modern-day femme fatale, because she doesn’t just wear the shoes and accessories; she brings them to life, infusing them with a sense of danger and desire.”
Green, expressing her admiration for Felloni and Roger Vivier, says, “It’s been an absolute pleasure to work with Gherardo Felloni. The first time I met him it was a complete ‘coup de foudre’ for the wonderful man and his beautiful shoes! I was delighted to be cast in his film for Roger Vivier and I look forward to sharing it with audiences.”
The second installment of ‘Vivier Express: Travelling Icons’ is a visual treat, showcasing the power of fashion and film to transport viewers to a world of dreams and intrigue. The episode is a testament to the artistry of Roger Vivier, the captivating performance of Eva Green, and the creative vision of the entire team behind this captivating series.
