Rodolphe Menudier

Rodolphe Menudier is a French shoe designer.

Described as: the very first to be a huge success both commercial and media thanks to collections of high end shoe design. His label was launched in 1994 and takes us back to Roger Vivier’s daring; it is a combination of inventiveness and sophistication that never gives up away on elegance and seduction. Trained at the AFPIC, he won fame in the “back to luxury” trend using a significant dose of sex-appeal, with his own brand and creating models for Dior with John Galliano, Christian Lacroix, Balenciaga, Paco Rabanne… His Parisian boutique, was inaugurated in 2000 in a set by Christophe Pillet “without ostentation or gilding”, it is a concentrate of his passion in design, postmodernism and the neopunk spirit.
