Roger Vivier creative director Gherardo Felloni took inspiration for his Pièce Unique collection of one-off pieces from the natural world.
From the flowers in the garden that inspired his previous collection to the insects that pollinate them, there was but one step forcreative director Gherardo Felloni, a keen gardener in his spare time. For his Pièce Unique range of one-off clutches and vests this season, the designer celebrated arthropods — butterflies, bees, spiders and beetles, to name but a few — in his “Petites Merveilles” collection .
“Insects do some of the most important jobs in nature,” he explained to WWD. “Bees pollinate, ladybugs save plants by eating parasites.”He compared this to the meticulous work of the artisans working on his “gesamtkunstwerk” designs with metal workers, embroiderers and plumassiers among the multiple craftspeople involved in each elaborate three-dimensional creation.
Designs inspired by dew drops on a spider’s web were hand beaded and crocheted and overlayed in situ with a silvery chainmail, then adorned with tear drop pearls or crystals. A design inspired by a beehive featured a hand-hammered gold metal honeycomb and miniature workers hovering, its buckle inlaid with stones in different hues. The iridescence of a scarab beetle’s back — symbolic in many cultures — inspired the Nefertiti model, embroidered with polychromatic crystals, rhinestones and sequins.
