From Vivier to Warhol: Mark Schwartz
Since they were presented during Paris Haute Couture week, Bruno Frisoni’s luxurious heels for Roger Vivier have been on the mind of many shoe-obsessed fashionistas.
But while Vivier’s iconic designs inspired Frisoni to make a charming new collection, the French iconic shoe designer, pop art and a healthy obsession with high heels inspired Mark Schwartz to forge an entirely new career.

Yet you can’t try them on as they are painted on canvas or drawn on paper. After working as shoe designer for Roger Vivier, Schwartz was indeed encouraged by Andy Warhol to cultivate his passion for art and continue painting shoes.
Schwartz uses his paintings to explore fashion semiology but also the themes of movement and dynamism.
