Maison Martin Margiela's Glass Slippers Cost a Fantastical Fortune

The Martin Margiela glass slippers are limited editions but are available for a measly $2,580 USD per pair (hey, you’re either rich or royalty now, right?). You can also buy them for $1,277 per piece, should you feel only one shoe necessary for expressing your fantasy-turned-reality life story.
