Argentine style icon Sofia Sanchez de Betak, who was recently unveiled as the face of Roger Vivier's spring/summer 2017 collection, lists her favourite bag and footwear designs from the new travel-inspired Urban Nomadic line.
The Guipure line
“I love this incredibly sexy and romantic line. I take it with me everywhere; I wear it with everything. For example, I wear the booties with jeans and a leather jacket for walking in the street and running from one appointment to the next, or hurrying to the airport. The heels are high but comfortable. The slide Rabat are the perfect shoes for a summer’s day at the beach or in the city, to stay effortlessly chic.”
The Slidy Viv’
“I like their simplicity, their comfort, and that signature Vivier touch: the diamanté buckle that catches your eye. With a long skirt, they are perfect for an evening in Ibiza, and with boyfriend jeans they are ideal for going for a drink in the Marais. They are also permanently in my suitcase, because they lift and add style to even the simplest outfit, and that’s what I’m looking for in my travel wardrobe – strong pieces that you can wear with everything.”
The Viv’Cabas
“I like bags that are classics with a twist. I always travel with a small and a big bag. The Viv’Cabas is perfect for that; it holds everything you need for a long-haul flight – an iPad, a passport, an iPhone, my jewellery – but doesn’t take up too much space.”
The Podium Sandal
“It has the perfect height, silhouette and heel, in coloured suede or leather sandals, even when – like me – you’re on the go for 18 hours at a go.”
The Flower Strass line
“The Flower Strass line is perfect for a slightly crazy evening, a formal dinner or a red-carpet event. It has that cool twist that only true luxury possesses. The espadrille version goes with everything: a beach wedding or a gallery opening in Chelsea.”
