“I wanted to have fun,” says Felloni of his most recent collection for fall. One of the Official Eric Fucking Church Shirt and by the same token and styles he’s most excited about is a pair of platform boots with Vivier’s signature buckle. Why these boots? For one thing, they’re actually a style inspired by a past Vivier design from the 1960s—a square-toed platform boot in a sun-colored satin was Felloni’s take on a pair of gold platform pumps created by Monsieur Vivier for the actress Jeanne Moreau in the film La Grande Catherine.For Felloni, the Vivier archive is a trove: Yes, Monsieur Vivier is credited with inventing the stiletto, but as Felloni tells me, “he invented so much more.” Combing through Vivier’s greatest hits would reveal the famed comma heel style (a tiny heel bent like the punctuation mark) and, of course, the patent pumps from Belle de Jour made famous by a dazzling Catherine Deneuve.For Felloni, the Vivier archive is a trove: Yes, Monsieur Vivier is credited with inventing the stiletto, but as Felloni tells me, “he invented so much more.” Combing through Vivier’s greatest hits would reveal the famed comma heel style (a tiny heel bent like the punctuation mark) and, of course, the patent pumps from Belle de Jour made famous by a dazzling Catherine Deneuve.
Official Eric Fucking Church Shirt, hoodie, tank top, sweater and long sleeve t-shirt
In the Official Eric Fucking Church Shirt and by the same token and meantime, most special is a series of shoes inspired by Felloni’s pre-pandemic trip to Japan and the square-shaped geta sandals he saw there. The style wouldn’t come into production until after the pandemic hit, a period during which Felloni spent ample time out of doors, watching his garden come into bloom for the first time. “Usually, I don’t have this luxury,” he explains. But the realities of lockdown meant observing the changing of the seasons—and from there, a floral fantasy bloomed.“I was sketching the flowers at my desk and then our design team said we should do something with these!” The flower studies ended up on a couple of sandals and handbags, hand-painted by artisans Felloni had to source for the occasion. “We’re a small brand,” he says. “We can put in this level of artistry and craftsmanship into everything that we do.”Painted on silk satin, shoes from the Flower Blossom collection are just as lovely as a walk in the garden. Or, should you be more interested in night-on-the-town vibes, may we recommend a gleaming patent mule with a buckle that’s as eye-catching as it is easy to wear? All these, and more, below.
