# Fairy Tale Footwear The Charlotte Olympia Fall 2013 Collection is for Childlike Romantics By Meghan Young | Published 2013-10-01 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charlotte-olympia-fall-2013 References: [style](http://www.style.com/accessories/shoes/charlotte-olympia/fall-2013/14) & [charlotteolympia](http://www.charlotteolympia.com) The Charlotte Olympia Fall 2013 collection is aptly titled 'Once Upon a Time.' As some of its previewed shoes show, such as the [Sleeping Princess Shoe](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charlotte-olympia-sleeping-princess) and [Happily Ever After Shoe](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/happily-ever-after-shoes), they take after classic fairy tales including 'Snow White,' 'Little Red Riding Hood' and more. There are also more general designs in the Charlotte Olympia Fall 2013 collection. In one case, a [high heeled platform shoe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hello-kitty-heel) takes on the details of a story book while a [pair of boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wednesday-capsule) look like the top of a castle tower. Romantically spellbinding, the footwear line is appealing for many reasons. It is only natural that the similarly titled hit television show premieres this week as well. Girls can welcome it back in appropriate style. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 80% | Activity: 71% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Fairy Tale-inspired Footwear:** Opportunity for designers to create whimsical and imaginative shoe designs based on classic fairy tales. - **Romantic and Novelty Footwear:** Potential for brands to create footwear that incorporates romantic and storybook elements to appeal to consumers seeking unique and playful styles. - **Fantasy Fashion:** Emerging trend of incorporating fantasy and fairy tale themes in fashion, including footwear, to create enchanting and magical looks. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Design:** Fashion designers can leverage the trend of fairy tale-inspired footwear to create innovative and captivating shoe collections. - **Footwear Retail:** Opportunity for footwear retailers to introduce and market fairy tale-inspired footwear collections, attracting customers looking for unique and whimsical styles. - **Entertainment and Media:** Potential for collaborations between fashion brands and entertainment/media companies to create footwear collections inspired by popular fairy tale franchises. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Whimsical Character-Inspired Statement Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldo-x-disney.md) - [Sophisticated Bridal Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/champagne-era.md) - [Enchanting Film-Inspired Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicked-x-aldo.md) - [Ultra-Luxurious Crystal Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jimmy-choo-crystal-slipper.md) - [Ultra-Luxurious Bridal Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-bridal-collection.md) - [Dark Collab Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/midnightblack-collection.md) - [Spooky Back-to-School Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keds-x-monster-high.md) - [Fuzzy Footwear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fuzzy-collection.md) - [Dairytale Bridal Tributes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-wedding-dresses-1.md)
