What would Dorothy wear now?”’ Michael Fink, Saks Fifth Avenue fashion director, told Reuters in an interview.
Then it was like
Go wild! Have fun with it!’ That’s the only direction we gave the designers,” he added.
The Slipper collection was instructioned by Swarovski, which sacrificed the crystals, in partnership with Saks and Warner Brothers and contains shoes by a dozen designers ranging from Gwen Stefani, Abaete to Manolo Blahnik.
Betsey Johnson, who is known for whimsical women styles, used red tulle bows on a platform shoe with chunky crystals.
Dorothy’s a modern girl. She’s clubbing. So she’s got a downtown funky shoe with her little anklets,” Fink said, showing a display window at the store where a 20-something Dorothy mannequin wore a green mini-dress with Betsey’s ruby slippers to the Emerald Club.
