The Wizard of Oz Ruby Slipper Collection will be on display for one week and officially unveiled at Saks Fifth Avenue - in the famed Fifth Avenue windows and 10022-SHOE - the designer shoe salon that's so big it has its own zip code. An in-store gala event on the evening of September 4 will launch Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York. The event will benefit philanthropic partner Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation and kick-off support for the Foundation's annual Kids for Kids Family Carnival. Steve Sadove, Chairman and CEO of Saks Fifth Avenue said, "We are so pleased to be hosting such a creative and innovative tribute to the American classic film The Wizard of Oz. The Ruby Slippers play an integral role in the film and Saks Fifth Avenue is honored to be the destination for the most celebrated designers and their contemporary take on these iconic shoes." The Collection will also be showcased at an incredible installation surrounding the famed fountain area at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week's Bryant Park tents beginning September 5th. "It's only appropriate to bring such a cultural icon to center stage at this season's Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week," said IMG Fashion Senior Vice President Fern Mallis. "The Wizard of Oz is a true classic, it will never go out of style and who doesn't want a pair of Ruby Slippers?" <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTKBfFv1tqEBRQXoLq3rAUTnLzhF_aEbtkjibSin98qWp1zxRVwjIVcf4Eh6LRZ7EXPHIX8HNVYdA-9GQzvgwjFkQZiUQhZO7dUWhZ7nitUVODig3lcEEVOhk7QI3Awf_aEyBqVsiRx8ON/s1600-h/Gwen+Stefani.xlarger.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" style="font-style: italic;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224565138686645922" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTKBfFv1tqEBRQXoLq3rAUTnLzhF_aEbtkjibSin98qWp1zxRVwjIVcf4Eh6LRZ7EXPHIX8HNVYdA-9GQzvgwjFkQZiUQhZO7dUWhZ7nitUVODig3lcEEVOhk7QI3Awf_aEyBqVsiRx8ON/s400/Gwen+Stefani.xlarger.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 534px; height: 711px;" /></a> Above: Gwen Stefani, L.A.M.B. sketch After Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week wraps the Ruby Slipper Collection will make an appearance at Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation's Kids for Kids Family Carnival in New York City's Park Avenue Armory Building on September 20.

Barnes, CEO and President of the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation. "We are certain that the Ruby Slipper Collection will inspire the hearts and imaginations of the next generation as we work together to combat HIV/AIDS around the world."
