Women's Footwear

In celebration 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, granting them creative license and access to unlimited CRYSTALLIZED™ - Swarovski Elements to re-imagine Dorothy’s design with their own vision of the sparkling Ruby Slipper.

The shoes will be on display at the Swarovski CRYSTALLIZED ™ Store in Soho from September 15 -23, giving the public one final chance to be enchanted by the Ruby Slipper Collection.

Following the showcase, the Collection will be auctioned at Warner Bros. Entertainment’s “Emerald Gala” at Tavern on the Green on September 24, 2009 to benefit long-term philanthropic partner, the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation. The auction – open to global bidders – will be held online on www.rubyslipperauction.com starting September 10, with final bids closing and tabulated the evening of September 24, 2009. Each pair of designer Ruby Slippers in the Collection will be auctioned off individually.
