Louboutin's Glass Slippers

The man behind the red soles has created real-life Cinderella glass slippers.

The collaboration was announced back in April, when Christian Louboutin was invited to bring Cinderella's iconic slippers to life to coincide with the worldwide release of Cinderella: The Diamond Edition.

Unveiled during Paris fashion week, Louboutin's heels perfectly encapsulate the beauty and fantasy of Walt Disney's legendary film.  "Cinderella is not only an iconic character when it comes to beauty, grace and fairytale love, but also shoes," said Louboutin. "Her character and her story dictated the design to me, it was all there in the pages and the words of this tale."

The design features mesh, lace and crystals, along with crystal covered heels, two delicate shimmering butterflies and naturally, Louboutin's red soles.

Unfortunately these limited edition heels are not available to buy, only 20 pairs were created for the collaboration.

In 1991, a young shoe designer opened his own shoe salon in Paris. He had no idea that 21 years later his shoes would become the most iconic shoes in the world. Having clients such as Lady Gaga, Madonna, Blake Lively and  Victoria Beckham really helped to increase the awareness of his brand.

I believe, that if you're going to buy shoes, buy quality. You want to feel gorgeous and glamorous in your shoes, and you want them to last. Christian Louboutins are handcrafted using the best materials. Leather is an expensive material to buy, yet the quality, durability and feel are great; that is why many choose to buy Louboutins. With care, the shoes will last for years and will be a staple item in a woman's shoe collection.
