What a fun challenge: Several top designers were asked to re-interpret Dorothy's red slippers for the fashionista of today, and were allowed unlimited use of Swarowski crystal elements. The creations were unveiled during NY fashion week and will be making the rounds before being auctioned off to benefit the pediatric AIDS foundation. Guys, more than anything I love shoes, so I was pretty excited to see these babies. It was a bit difficult to track down photos, so thanks to everyone whose flicks I peeped. Let the fashion show begin:

These are all so gorgeous! Ah, when I was little the thing I wanted most in the whole world was a pair of ruby slippers... Those lovely Botkier ones will do!
Thank you for the link in your sidebar, by the way!
ACH!
