Marc Jacob's Glass Slipper


Whimsical...or ugly? I can't decide. They have a pretty awesome 80's vibe to them. 


Shoes for a princess: Marc Jacobs Transparent Pumps are made from PVC and lucite giving a modern take on the Cinderella slipper

A perfect shoe for spring, the Transparent Pump is in reality made from PVC making them more comfortable and thankfully, shatter proof. Jacobs has given his already fanciful slippers an even lighter step with the addition of a lucite heel.

    This season has seen a lot of lucite, from the likes of Chanel and Prada to Zara and Asos giving high style legitimacy to an aesthetic formerly associated with strippers and pole dancers.
    This time last year when lucite first emerged on the runways, Racked noted the trend and admitted the look could be 'sweet, demure, fun, and not trashy at all (or at least, not Taylor Momsen trashy.)

    Fairytale: The Marc Jacobs 'glass slippers' cost $595 at La Garconne

    In fact, so dainty are these creations, they wouldn't look out of place on the feet of a bride and some wedding blogs and message boards have already featured them.
    Eager fashionistas can pick up a pair at New York-based online website, La Garconne
