New Roger Vivier line inspires digital puzzle

Roger Vivier has created an online puzzle as part of the launch surrounding its new Prismick accessories line.

Based on the late designer’s love for assembling collages, the simple game invites users to reconstruct an image of one of the collecion’s handbags by dragging surrounding tangram-like shapes into its shell.

It is housed on the brand’s website, which is also designed to reflect similar geometric patterns, tying in with the overall theme of the collection, as conceived by current creative  director, Bruno Frisoni (and as pictured below).

“Pumps and bags which play with fluctuating geometry,” reads an update on the Roger Vivier Facebook page. “A jigsaw puzzle in three dimensions.”
