Roger Henri Vivier (13 November 1907 – 2 October 1998) was a French fashion designer who specialized in shoes. His best-known creation was the stiletto heel.

Vivier has been called the "Fragonard of the shoe" and his shoes "the Fabergé of Footwear" by numbers of critics. He designed extravagant, richly decorated shoes that he described as sculptures. He is credited with the design of the first platform shoe in 1937 and the first stiletto heel in 1954. Stiletto heels, the very thin high heel, were certainly discovered around in the late 19th century, as numerous fetish drawings attest, but Vivier is known for reviving and developing this opulent style by using a thin rod of steel.

Ava Gardner, Gloria Guinness and The Beatles were all Vivier customers, and he designed shoes for Queen Elizabeth II for her coronation in 1953.

Vivier designed shoes for house Christian Dior from 1953 to 1963. In addition to the stiletto heel, he also experimented with other shapes, including the comma. He used silk, pearls, beads, lace, appliqué and jewels to create unique decorations for his shoes.

In the 1960s, Vivier also designed silk-satin knee boots outlined in jewels, and thigh-high evening boots in a black elastic knit with beads. Perhaps his best-known boot design of the decade were the low-heeled, thigh-high, black crocodile boots he produced for Yves Saint Laurent's fall 1963 collection, paired with a Space Age-looking, all-black Saint Laurent ensemble of tights, suede jerkin, short ciré jacket, and helmet-like visored cap and hood, the boots a variation of a pair Vivier had designed for a Rudolph Nureyev performance of Swan Lake. His possibly most iconic shoe design of the decade, the low-heeled Pilgrim pumps with silver buckles produced for Yves Saint Laurent's 1965 Mondrian collection (worn by Catherine Deneuve in the film Belle de Jour) received international publicity and many imitations.

Vivier has a boutique on the Rue Faubourg Saint-Honoré, whose design is inspired by Vivier's apartment. The collection is designed by Bruno Frisoni. Exclusivity is the hallmark of the line, with many shoes made to order, some with hand-embroidered gold thread. There are now three shops in the USA. The latest opened in May 2012. Vivier's shoes are on display at the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto and the Musée de la mode et du textile at the Louvre.

Durable But Quirky Interactive Ball
Color: Blue
I am 30 now and my tolerance for toys that break in 2 minutes is basically zero. I picked this up during a weekend DIY project when I was fixing the deck and needed something to keep the dog occupied. The E TPU material is straight up impressiveuch abuse it can take from a large breed. My dog tends to destroy generic store brand balls but this one survived being dropped down the stairs and tossed against the siding. It is comfortable enough to use daily without feeling like it is going to shatter or hurt the dog. The internal compartment where you charge it is smart and those little pockets for the charging port are actually useful sized for my fat fingers. The smart movement is a game changer for keeping a high energy dog moving when I am busy with home improvement tasks. I was slightly worried about the 8 hour battery life but it holds a charge well enough for a few play sessions. My whole household uses this now to entertain the dog as he will not leave us alone otherwise. It works best on my kitchen tiles but it barely moves on the thick rug in the living room which is frustrating. The vibration is loud enough to be annoying when I am trying to focus on work. It is a solid 3 star product as it does what it says but has some quirks that make it less than perfect. Spending 19.99 is fair for the durability you get compared to cheaper options. I like that it is USB rechargeable instead of eating through batteries. It is not perfect but it serves a purpose in my chaotic house.

Engaging and Durable: High-Energy Play with a Caveat for Sensitive Pups
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
Finding an automated toy that can survive the jaws of an aggressive chewer while keeping them physically engaged is a major win for busy pet owners. This smart interactive dog toy offers an excellent, high-tech way to keep high-energy dogs active, though its enthusiastic movement might be a bit intense for more timid pets. Dynamic and Instinct-Triggering Movement: The core appeal of this toy is its smart interactive movement. This automatic bouncing ball activates immediately upon touch, rolling and bouncing in entirely unpredictable directions. This erratic motion successfully triggers a dog's natural chasing instincts, keeping them thoroughly engaged and entertained for hours, which is incredibly helpful when you are unavailable to play. However, because the movement is so sudden and dynamic, it can occasionally scare more sensitive or easily startled dogs. Chew-Proof and Safe Construction: The durability and structural safety of the ball are highly impressive: *Chew-Proof E-TPU: Crafted with a high-density E-TPU shell, the toy is specifically built to withstand aggressive chewing and rough play from medium to large breeds. It holds up remarkably well against scratches and deep bites for long-lasting use. *Pet-Friendly Materials: The non-toxic, BPA-free material is completely safe and remains gentle on your dog's teeth and gums during fetch or heavy chewing sessions. *Injure-Free Design: The toy is engineered with smooth, rounded edges to prevent any accidental cuts or injuries during high-speed play. Supporting an Active Lifestyle: This toy serves as a fantastic tool for supporting an active lifestyle. It encourages vital daily exercise to help maintain your dog's physical health, significantly reduces boredom, and curbs destructive behaviors like furniture chewing. This makes it an absolute lifesaver for high-energy pups that need a constant physical outlet. Convenient USB Rechargeability: Powering the toy is simple and environmentally friendly. It is equipped with a USB rechargeable battery that delivers up to 8 hours of continuous play on a single charge. It also includes the necessary USB charging cable, ensuring you can quickly plug it in and have it ready for the next play session without constantly buying disposable batteries. Bottom Line: I highly recommend this smart interactive dog toy for owners of high-energy, medium-to-large breeds that need an indestructible, engaging outlet. While it may frighten more timid or anxious dogs due to its unpredictable bouncing, its premium E-TPU durability, great battery life, and excellent exercise value make it a fantastic investment for a healthier, happier pet.

Ymswznwe Smart Interactive Dog Toy, Pet Automatic Moving Bouncing Ball, Chew-Proof
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
This toy has been so much fun to watch my dogs interact with. I love the randomness of the movements because it keeps them guessing and keeps the toy interesting instead of becoming predictable after five minutes. They definitely weren’t sure what to think of it at first, but once they figured it out, it became hilarious entertainment. One of my dogs especially likes to hold it in his mouth and just let it vibrate, which cracks me up every time. I think toys like this are great not only for physical activity, but also for mental stimulation and curiosity. It gets them engaged in a different way than a regular ball or chew toy. While I wouldn’t consider my dogs “power chewers,” toys usually do not last long around here, so I was pleasantly surprised by how well this has held up. At the time of this review, it still looks basically brand new, so it is pretty durable. I also really appreciate that it’s rechargeable. I’m glad I’m not constantly going through batteries with a toy like this.

Interesting Premise
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
It's an interesting premise for a toy -- it has a vibrating gyrator in the middle which turns on randomly for random durations. This then causes the ball to vibrate and roll around the floor. It really needs to be on a hardwood floor to move, though -- when I put it on their dog bed, it vibrates but then doesn't move anywhere. I tried a few times to get my four dogs to interact this this ball toy, but they are clearly not interested.
