Christian Louboutin launches Cinderella-inspired slipper

Jul 6, 6:18 pm

Washington, July 6 (ANI): Christian Louboutin teamed up with Disney to design a modern-day version of Cinderella's glass slippers, which were unveiled in Paris on Wednesday.

Disney had invited Louboutin to re-imagine the famous slipper in honor of the release of 'Cinderella' on Blu-Ray this fall.

"Cinderella is not only an iconic character when it comes to beauty, grace and fairytale love, but also shoes," CBS News quoted the shoe designer as saying in a statement.

"Her character and her story dictated the design to me, it was all there in the pages and the words of this tale," the statement read.

There's no glass in this modern-day version of the shoe - Louboutin's design is made up of white lace adorned with crystals and sparkling butterflies.

Disney announced on Wednesday that just 20 pairs of the Cinderella shoes will be produced.

According to USA Today, the pairs will be given away worldwide this fall, and Disney and Louboutin will be releasing details on the giveaway next month. (ANI)
