A Dream Comes True: Cinderella's Christian Louboutin Slippers
Other | Wednesday 23rd May 2012 | Osh
Christian Louboutin, the famous shoe designer known for his trademark red soles, has accepted the daunting but enviable task of creating a pair of dream-come-true modern high heels for the iconic footwear fairy tale character, Cinderella.
Disney Studios invited Louboutin to design Cindy’s footwear for the release of their Blu-Ray Diamond Edition of the animated fairy tale ‘Cinderella’. “Isn’t it everyone’s dream, to once in your life be part of a fairy tale?” enthuses Louboutin. “Walt Disney Studios gave me a wonderful opportunity to live this magical moment. I have been so lucky to have crossed paths with Cinderella, an icon who is so emblematic to the shoe world as well as the dream world.” This announcement is perfectly timed to precede Louboutin’s 20th Anniversary retrospective exhibition at Design Museum London, which runs from May 1 through July 9.
Any guess what the new, up-to-date pair of shoes would look like? Will they feature red soles? Will they be embellished with diamonds to match the Diamond Edition DVD name?
We feel sure that Louboutin is up for the task since his creations are already whimsical and glamorous. Plus, his shoes already make his female customers feel like princesses.
