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.

Super portable sunscreen
Size: 0.49 Ounce (Pack of 1)
These are awesome for keeping in a backpack, a kids sports bag, or just dropped in your pocket while traveling. I probably would want to use this as my primary sunscreen on the regular just due to size but it's amazing for reapplying during the day.

Great sunscreen!
Style: SPF 50 Stick, Size: 0.49 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Great sunscreen for babies/toddlers. It works well and it was a breeze to apply. It did take some effort to rub in. The product itself is very small, so it’s convenient to carry in your pocket or throw in a bag. But I’ve also misplaced it a few times.

Nice sunscreen!
Style: SPF 50 Stick, Size: 0.49 Ounce (Pack of 1)
My favorite toddler sunscreen! We mainly use this for my toddlers face and neck, as it’s easy application and doesn’t get all over my hands. Would definitely recommend, it’s easy to have in your diaper bag!

Good for face application, small, takes effort to rub in
Style: SPF 50 Stick, Size: 0.49 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Bought this because I thought it might make face application easier with my toddler. He definitely prefers it, mostly because he thinks it’s fun to apply and he can do it himself. But it also takes a little more effort to rub in than just the thin normal liquid copper tone baby mineral sunscreen. Gives pretty good protection though, once it’s all rubbed in! It rolls up like a deodorant stick, so you can keep it low. It’s very small, like the palm of your hand, so it’s best just to use for face. If you use it on the whole body, you’ll run out fast. It’s nice to slip into the diaper bag without it adding too much weight or worrying that it’ll open and get everywhere!
