In celebration of the release of Disney’s live action film
inspired by the classic fairy tale “Cinderella,” Disney Consumer
Products (DCP) has collaborated with nine luxury designer shoe
brands across the globe to assemble an enchanting collection of
shoes that reimagine Cinderella’s iconic glass slipper. The
distinguished designers, in alphabetical order, are: Paul Andrew,
Alexandre Birman, René Caovilla, Jimmy Choo, Salvatore Ferragamo,
Nicholas Kirkwood, Charlotte Olympia, Jerome C. Rousseau, and
Stuart Weitzman. Each brand has created its own interpretation of
the famed glass slipper Cinderella accidentally leaves behind when
the clock strikes midnight.
“Cinderella’s glass slipper has become a magical symbol of
transformation,” said Jonathan Symington, vice president and
general manager, licensing, Disney Entertainment at Disney Consumer
Products. “Each pair of shoes in this exciting global collection
captures Cinderella’s elegance and grace through the lens of
celebrated designers, making this shoe collection truly fit for a
princess.”
Swarovski, which produced the iconic glass slipper for the film
under the direction of Academy Award®-winning costume designer
Sandy Powell, provided the crystals featured in the designers’
shoes.
The shoes will be available for order in the following retail
stores around the world, as well as in some of the designer brands’
own stores. Please contact the stores and/or designer brands for
specific availability:
- United States – Saks Fifth Avenue (New
York and Beverly Hills)
- London – Harrods
- Paris – Galeries Lafayette
- Milan – Excelsior Milano
- Moscow – Tsum
- Tokyo − Isetan Shinjuku
- Dubai – Level Shoe District, The Dubai
Mall
“The tale of Cinderella is rich in romance and tradition thus
the collaboration between Saks Fifth Avenue and Disney felt
natural,” said Mark Briggs, Chief Marketing and Creative Officer.
“Saks aims to bring back the magic in retail, and what better way
to celebrate than enchanting our customers with dazzling footwear
fit to make any dream come true.”
In early March, Saks Fifth Avenue will bring Disney’s
“Cinderella” to life by creating enchanting fairytale vignettes
within the center six windows of its New York flagship as well as
select windows in its Beverly Hills location. The windows will
prominently feature the complete designer footwear collection as
well as select props from the film, including costumes and
spellbinding pumpkins. In addition to the windows, both locations
will display the footwear collection on 10022-SHOE, Saks’ dedicated
shoe floor Zip Code. Lily James and Richard Madden will also star
on the covers of Saks Fifth Avenue’s latest March Magalog – the
new, elevated rendition of its fashion catalog. The Magalog debuts
March 4, 2015.
This iconic story told in spectacular live action is directed by
Sir Kenneth Branagh, and includes the stellar cast of Cate
Blanchett, Lily James, Richard Madden, Helena Bonham Carter and
more. The Walt Disney Studios film “Cinderella” is in theatres
March 13, 2015.

About Disney’s
Cinderella
The story of “Cinderella” follows the fortunes of young Ella
(James) whose merchant father remarries following the death of her
mother. Eager to support her loving father, Ella welcomes her new
stepmother (Oscar® winner Cate Blanchett) and her daughters
Anastasia (Holliday Grainger) and Drisella (Sophie McShera) into
the family home. But, when Ella’s father unexpectedly passes away,
she finds herself at the mercy of a jealous and cruel new family.
Finally relegated to nothing more than a servant girl covered in
ashes, and spitefully renamed Cinderella, Ella could easily begin
to lose hope. Yet, despite the cruelty inflicted upon her, Ella is
determined to honor her mother’s dying words and to “have courage
and be kind.” She will not give in to despair nor despise those who
mistreat her. And then there is the dashing stranger she meets in
the woods. Unaware that he is really a prince, not merely an
apprentice at the Palace, Ella finally feels she has met a kindred
soul. It appears her fortunes may be about to change when the
Palace sends out an open invitation for all maidens to attend a
ball, raising Ella’s hopes of once again encountering the charming
Kit (Richard Madden). Alas, her stepmother forbids her to attend
and callously rips apart her dress. But, as in all good fairy
tales, help is at hand, and a kindly beggar woman (two-time Oscar
nominee Helena Bonham Carter) steps forward and, armed with a
pumpkin and a few mice, changes Cinderella’s life forever.
Directed by Academy Award® nominee Kenneth Branagh (“Thor,”
“Hamlet”), “Cinderella” is produced by Simon Kinberg (“X-Men: Days
of Future Past,” “Elysium”), Allison Shearmur (“The Hunger Games:
Mockingjay – Part I”) and David Barron (“Harry Potter and the
Deathly Hallows”) with Tim Lewis (“Goldeneye”) serving as executive
producer. The screenplay is by Chris Weitz (“About a Boy,” “The
Golden Compass”).
