The Marc Jacobs recently released ‘Transparent Pump’ conjures up images of Disney’s Cinderella tale in a way that has yet to be seen among the haute couture world. The 4” see-through pumps are crystallized representations of a classic childhood story that is marked by love, mystique and drama; the perfect combination for an in-vogue design scheme.
Sister to the glass slipper, the Transparent Pump features a rounded toe and leather-piped trimming. Although not made of glass, the PVC-bound casing is said to be a more comfortable substance, assuring the perfect Cinderella-themed getaway, likely involving a pumpkin carriage.
The princess pump will make for a bold statement piece this spring, and the "Made in Italy" tag that comes with the pair will assure consumers of its authenticity.
