Some of the world’s most distinguished creative visionaries and next generation talent have joined Disney’s Create 100, a global celebration of Disney’s 100 years of storytelling.
Renowned creators, brands, fashion giants, and next-generation talent from 18 countries are taking part, including designs by the late Virgil Abloh, Valentino and Christian Louboutin and others inspired by Marvel, Disney, the Star Wars franchise, and more. Included in the auction are props and behind-the-scenes artifacts donated by Kevin Feige, Jennifer Lee and Jon Landau, who’ve produced films like “Frozen,” “Avatar” and “The Avengers.”
The auction will also feature a crescent print Marine Serre catsuit worn by Beyoncé in “Black Is King.” Disney+’s 2020 film featuring the Grammy-winning artist was a visual companion to “The Lion King: The Gift,” an album she curated for the film’s live-action reboot.
Swarovski’s replica of Cinderella’s glass slipper will also go up for auction. Based on shoes worn by Lily James in 2015’s “Cinderella,” the Aurora Borealis crystal pump features a jeweled butterfly embellishment. Crafted at Swarovski’s headquarters in the Austrian Alps, a team of eight artisans put 150 hours into making the slipper.
Adidas’ lead designer, Charlie Kirihara, created a pair of “Little Mermaid”-themed Adidas Gazelles for the auction. Laced with rope, the sneakers are adorned with bedazzled mermaid tail motifs.
“Fans around the globe will have the chance to bid on unique items and experiences inspired by each creator’s personal connection to Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars and 20th Century Studios’ stories and characters,” reads the brand’s press release.
Continuing its decades-long partnership with the Make-a-Wish Foundation, Disney will donate all proceeds from the auction to the nonprofit, which grants life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.
