Cinderella's glass slipper reimagined by Jimmy Choo

To celebrate the release of Disney's live-action Cinderella next month, some of the biggest names in shoe design have reimagined the princess' iconic glass slipper – Jimmy Choo, Nicholas Kirkwood, Charlotte Olympia, Stuart Weitzman, Salvatore Ferragamo and Paul Andrew to name a few. The results are as magical as you would expect and will be available to order soon from key stores around the world, including Harrods and Saks Fifth Avenue. I assume the price tags will also be fit for a princess, but if you have a fairy godmother then it's time to start calling in the favours....




"I think every girl desires a Cinderella moment in their lives," says Sandra Choi, creative director of Jimmy Choo. "This story ignites a love affair and fascination with shoes that never dies. The power they have to transform is instilled from a young age and the fantasy remains alive forever. I wanted to create a shoe that felt magical, with alluring sparkle and a feminine, timeless silhouette evoking those childhood emotions."

The stunning design from Jimmy Choo has achieved exactly that, with a timeless shape and plenty of sparkle. You can see a few more of my favourite sketches below. I think Cinderella would have a tough time picking a winner...

Olympia le-Tan's Disney inspired clutch bags


If you can't appreciate a bit of novelty value in the run-up to Christmas, when can you? Having said that, if you are starting to feel that the British public have taken the crap festive jumper thing a bit too far, you might just prefer these Disney-themed embroidered clutch bags by Olympia Le Tan. I know they are a little more expensive than your average Primark jumper, but they are so much more chic, right?

The popularity of the designer's previous literary-inspired bags makes the collaboration with Disney an obvious choice. So if you want to inject a bit of grown-up Disney magic into your wardrobe (and have £1,105 to spare, or a fairy godmother) then head on over to www.net-a-porter.com.
