In celebration of the 70th anniversary of The Wizard of Oz, Warner Bros. Consumer Products together with CRYSTALLIZEDâ„¢ – Swarovski Elements, approached some of the world’s top shoe designers asking them to re-create Dorothy’s iconic red slippers for the modern day.
The designers selected for this celebration include Roger Vivier, Moschino and Alberta Ferreti, who will have their designs showcased in the Swarovski store in Soho From September 15 – 23.
Once the public have been given the chance to see these sparkling efforts, the slippers will be auctioned off at Warner Bros.’ Emerald Gala, which will feature performances from Ashanti and Lorna Luft – daughter of Wizard of Oz star Judy Garland – as well as appearances from the original Munchkins and the cast of the National Tour.
The auction is open to global bidders and will take place online on September 24 and is in aid of The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation.
