# High-Fashion Cinderella Slippers The Marc Jacobs ‘Transparent Pump' is Enchanting By Jordy E | Published 2012-03-29 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transparent-pump References: [refinery29](http://www.refinery29.com/marc-jacobs-cinderella-glass-slipper) & [lagarconne](http://www.lagarconne.com/store/item.htm?itemid=14099&sid=&pid=) The Marc Jacobs recently released ‘Transparent Pump’ conjures up images of [Disney’s](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldo-x-disney) Cinderella tale in a way that has yet to be seen among the haute couture world. The 4” see-through pumps are [crystallized representations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-plus-moonlight) of a [classic childhood story](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinderella-capsule) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 91% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Customization](https://www.trendhunter.com/customization) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Transparent Footwear:** The popularity of Marc Jacobs' 'Transparent Pump' suggests a trend towards see-through footwear in the high-fashion industry. - **Disney-inspired Fashion:** The enchanting design of the 'Transparent Pump' opens up opportunities for other high-fashion brands to create collections inspired by classic Disney tales. - **Comfortable Luxury:** The use of PVC-bound casing in the 'Transparent Pump' indicates a trend towards merging comfort and luxury in high-end footwear. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Footwear:** The rise of transparent footwear presents opportunities for innovative designs and materials within the footwear industry. - **Fashion:** The Disney-inspired fashion trend allows fashion brands to tap into consumers' nostalgia and create unique collections with a touch of magic. - **Luxury Goods:** The fusion of comfort and luxury in designs like the 'Transparent Pump' opens up disruptive innovation opportunities in the luxury goods industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ultra-Luxurious Crystal Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jimmy-choo-crystal-slipper.md) - [Limited-Edition Crystal Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stuart-weitzman-x-swarovski.md) - [Whimsical Character-Inspired Statement Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldo-x-disney.md) - [Couture Collector Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/viktorrolf-x-disney.md) - [Beweled Fashion Forward Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simone-rocha-2.md) - [Sophisticated Bridal Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/champagne-era.md) - [Collaborative Footwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maison-margiela-x-christian-louboutin.md) - [Perforated Slip-On Mary Janes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mary-jane-clog.md) - [Sleek T-Strap Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tkees-x-jcrew.md)
