In celebration of The Wizard of Oz's 70th anniversary next year, Warner Bros. Consumer Products, Swarovski, and 19 designers have teamed up to create their own version of Dorothy's magical ruby slippers.

The list is packed with heavy hitters: A. Testoni, Abaeté, Alberta Ferretti, Betsey Johnson, Botkier, Christian Louboutin, Diane von Furstenberg, Giuseppe Zanotti, Jimmy Choo, L.A.M.B. by Gwen Stefani, Lisa Pliner, Manolo Blahnik, Moschino, Oscar de la Renta, Roger Vivier, Sergio Rossi, Stuart Weitzman, Tibi, and Tuleh are the chosen ones who will be creating their very own rendition of these magical shoes using Crystallized Swarovski Elements.

After the official unveiling at Saks Fifth Avenue NYC on Sept. 4, the collection will stop in Bryant Park for a viewing and is then set to tour the country in different art exhibitions. I wonder if I tap my feet twice, a pair will magically appear before me . . .

    You know, funny enough, I've always wanted to find a pair of my own "ruby slippers," I really love this idea. It will be fun to see the final results. It's inventive and creative and maybe we'll be able to pick out our favorite pair(s)!
