In honor of the 70th anniversary of The Wizard Of Oz, Warner Bros. Consumer Products in partnership with CRYSTALLIZED™ – Swarovski Elements invited the world’s top shoe designers to reinterpret Dorothy’s iconic Ruby Slippers for modern times. Designers that took part in this charity event included Oscar de la Renta, Betsey Johnson, Jimmy Choo, , Christian Louboutin, Diane von Furstenberg, Giuseppe Zanotti, L.A.M.B. by Gwen Stefani, Lisa Pliner, Manolo Blahnik, and Moschino. These designers were granted creative license and access to unlimited CRYSTALLIZED™ – Swarovski Elements to re-imagine Dorothy’s design with their own modern vision of the sparkling Ruby Slipper. Since its debut one year ago in New York City to kick off Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, the Collection has toured more than 20 prestigious destinations around the world, including Los Angeles, Miami, Paris, and Tokyo. The Ruby Slipper Collection and original design sketches were auctioned online by Charity Folks on September 10, 2009 to benefit the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation.
