Repetto's ballet flat walked off the stage for Bardot

A ballet shoe that walked off the stage. Rose Repetto founded her house in 1947, making slippers for dancers. In 1956, Brigitte Bardot asked her for a flat she could wear in a film, And God Created Woman. The Cendrillon stepped off-screen for good. La danse, en ville.
