Christian Louboutin creates Cinderella's glass slipper


There's nothing more magical than the idea of a fairytale coming to life, especially when Christian Louboutin is involved.

The designer has finally unveiled his re-imagination of Cinderella's famous glass slippers to celebrate the re-release of Disney's most-loved animated picture.

"Her character and her story dictated the design to me, it was all there in the pages and the words of this tale," explained the designer. "Cinderella is not only an iconic character when it comes to grace and fairytale love, but also shoes. The dream is a major factor in my language of design. There are no limits in the world of fantasy and there is always a happily ever after."

The shoes - which of course include Louboutin's trademark red soles - are constructed of delicate crystal-adorned lace with two sparkling butterflies resting on the shoes, one landing on the vamp while the other sits closely behind atop of the crystal covered heel, gently brushing the ankle.

Louboutin is not the only designer to be lending his touch to a Disney Princess. This November, Harrods will unveil their Christmas windows which will showcase couture incarnations of classic Disney Princess dresses by the likes of Valentino, Elie Saab, Versace and Oscar de la Renta. They will also be holding various in-store events and promotions celebrating as well as dedicating a 7,000 sq ft area on their fourth floor which will be entirely Disney-dedicated, housing a pop-up boutique which will sell limited edition items especially for Christmas.
