But shoe dealers who still have inventories of pointed shoes grumble that women are not ready for such radical changes. In the heady atmosphere of the arch-creator's Olympus, Vivier has no patience with such mundane complaints. Breathlessly awaiting his new-creations are Queens (England's two Elizabeths, Iran's Farah...
