LOSE THE SLIPPERS!

For decades, Disney has fed the princess fantasy -- Cinderella in her fluffy ball skirt and glass slippers, Minnie Mouse in her vampy red polka dots and pumps.

But what would they wear today?

Vivienne Westwood, Azzedine Alaia and several other European fashion designers were asked to answer that question, creating modern looks for classic characters. Their creations were modeled on the runway at an event this month celebrating the 15th anniversary of Euro Disney outside Paris.

Minnie embraced her sexy side in a black tulle dress with silver polka dots by Luella Bartley, while Snow White sported a saucy blue corset and yellow short skirt by Vivienne Westwood, and Cinderella played the tough girl in a red satin mini-dress by Corinne Cobson and lace-up Doc Marten boots.

“Cinderella is now a rebel,” said Cobson, who works in Paris. “She chooses her Prince Charming, he doesn’t get to choose her.”

The fashion event is a part of a larger strategy at Disney, to bring the Magic Kingdom into the 21st century -- the Annie Leibovitz-shot ad campaign featuring David Beckham, Scarlett Johansson, Beyonce and other celebs posing as classic characters; the hip, branded Disney Couture cashmere sweaters and pirate jewelry, and the recently released film “Enchanted,” a live action-animated hybrid in which a new princess, Giselle, takes on Times Square.

For the Euro Disney event, designers imagined their Disney heroines as more liberated, independent women.

French lingerie designer Chantal Thomass was initially asked to design a dress for Aurora -- Sleeping Beauty -- but chose instead to outfit Tinker Bell in a light green taffeta cocktail dress, with a tutu-like skirt and a giant pink tulle bow on the back, suggesting her wings.

“Aurora is very submissive, waiting for her prince,” she said. “I like Tinker Bell because she sparkles, she is something of a free woman.”

The dresses were auctioned Monday at Christie’s in Paris, with the proceeds benefiting UNICEF.
