Maison Martin Margiela Glass Slippers



Made famous by none other than Cinderella and brought to life by Maison Martin Margiela, the Brothers Grimm fantastical shoe concept now exists, albeit in limited quantities.

While Margiela usually plays with reality by repurposing everyday objects (see his Currency Wallets, nail keyring and silver hospital bracelet) rather than turning to fairytales, we can't think of a better designer to execute this shoe. Taking the idea further, the designer sells these limited edition heels, not in pairs, but per piece. We shouldn't have to tell you that these pumps are not for daily use, however if you're brave make sure to get a pedicure and tread lightly.

Available at Maison Margiela Stores for HK$9,900 each or HK$19,999 for the pair.
