Walt Disney Studios Unveils The Ultimate, Modern-day Cinderella Slipper Inspired by Christian Louboutin

Yesterday, the fabled Cinderella slipper which has captured the hearts and imagination of generations of women around the world, came to life as The Walt Disney Studios and world-renowned shoe designer Christian Louboutin unveiled the ultimate, modern day Cinderella-inspired slipper in Paris, timed during Haute Couture week July 2-5.

“Cinderella is not only an iconic character when it comes to beauty, grace and fairytale love, but also shoes,” explains designer Christian Louboutin.  For Louboutin, the worlds of fantasy and shoe-making collided in perfect harmony when he was invited by Disney to re-imagine Cinderella’s famous slipper in honor of Disney’s global release of the classic masterpiece “Cinderella” Diamond Edition on Blu-ray™ this Fall.

Cinderella’s legendary slippers have been re-imagined with the mastery of one of this generation’s most important designers.  Lightness, beauty and transparency are the words with which Louboutin describes this special pair; they are a dream materialized.  The designer’s magic touch brings this iconic shoe to reality and gives it a modern twist.  Delicate lace adorned with crystals gives these slippers an enchanting look.  Two sparkling butterflies rest prettily 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’s signature red soles add the final dash of excitement as Cinderella’s slippers come alive. “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.

“The slipper is the magic wand of transformation which conjures confidence, beauty and love.” – Christian Louboutin

“I think we have made the fairy tale fashionable again. We can translate the ancient fairy tale into its modern equivalent without losing the lovely patina and the savor of its once-upon-a-time quality.” – Walt Disney

Christian Louboutin’s famous red soles are instantly recognizable for their elegance, innovative, playful designs and femininity.  “The dream is a major factor in my language of design,” said Louboutin.  This whimsical quality is paramount to his creations, which have been embraced by women all over the world.  Louboutin’s limitless imagination, adventurous spirit and the inspiration he draws from the world and people around him have helped turn his own dreams into reality.  For Louboutin, “there are no limits in the world of fantasy and there is always a happily ever after.”

As part of the celebration, a few lucky, modern day Cinderellas will have the chance to be a part of the magic and win one of only twenty original slippers created for this collaboration.  Further details about the contest and participating markets to follow.
