"If Dorothy were living in the 21st century, what would she wear?” is the question being answered by The Wizard of Oz Ruby Slipper Collection, a creative re-interpretation of one of film’s most iconic and revered symbols that has captured the hearts and imaginations of people the world over.
Designer Moschino has created a fabulous CRYSTALLIZED™ Swarovski Elements platform pump design, with half bow on each toe for this iconic initiative!
Available in Women's European size 39, which fits a U.S. size 8 to 9, the shoes measure 8.5" from heel to toe, measuring 3.5" in width, with the highest point of the shoe topping out at 6.5". This fantastic pair of shoes, perfect for fashionista or collector, will ship to you in a laser-cut case, with the designer name and The Wizard of Oz anniversary logo included. This spectacular pair also comes with a giclee print of Moschino's original design sketch, measuring 24" by 26".
The public has one final chance to view The Ruby Slipper Collection in its entirety at the Swarovski CRYSTALLIZED™ flagship store at 499 Broadway in New York City from September 10 - 23; the exhibit will be run simultaneously to the online auction.
The entire exclusive Ruby Slipper Collection auction will be on display at the Warner Bros. Entertainment Emerald Gala event at Tavern on the Green in New York City on September 24, 2009.
The 70th Anniversary Celebration began last fall with the debut of The Ruby Slipper Collection at Saks Fifth Avenue and Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York City. Since then the Collection has toured to some of the most prestigious destinations in the world: Beverly Hills, Miami, Las Vegas, Atlanta, Boston, Phoenix, Houston, Milan, London, Paris, Berlin, Belgium, Dubai, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Sydney and Melbourne.
