Jimmy Choo 4 UGG… WHAT?!
Well isn’t Tamara Mellon just full of surprises. The founder of Jimmy Choo has announced that the brand will be collaborating with UGG Australia to create a limited edition collection of women’s sheepskin footwear.
There I was, happily perusing my Twitterfeed (or whatever you call it) when Hilary Alexander informs me of the news. At first I thought the Telegraph must have got it wrong but when I clicked the link for confirmation, I nearly spat out my tea.
That might sound like a massive exaggeration - I can be a bit dramatic – but as someone with a bit of an aversion to UGGs, I was just a little surprised.
Perhaps it shouldn’t have been such a shock. After all, Jimmy Choo did whack out a successful clothing line for H&M late last year and produced wellies for Hunter (I didn’t get that either) over the festival season. No, it’s less shock… more worry.
Of course, these are just my opinions and UGG are a hugely popular brand, worldwide so there will be herds of people excited about the possibilities here – Tamara Mellon included:
‘Other than Jimmy Choo, UGG Australia is the only other footwear I have in my wardrobe’, Telegraph reports.
The collection will include five styles priced between £495 and £695 and is set to launch this October. I’ll try and reserve further judgement until then…
