Choo's Comfort-Chic
(NEW YORK) "Other than Jimmy Choo, UGG Australia is the only other footwear I have in my wardrobe," said Tamara Mellon in a statement released today. An odd confessional, perhaps, for the president and founder of one of the more glamorous shoe companies around, but it seems that Mellon is melding her two shoe loves together: Jimmy Choo and Ugg Australia announced a collaboration for a limited-edition co-branded women's sheepskin footwear products, which will be available in stores this October.
"We are thrilled to be able to offer the Jimmy Choo and UGG customers a unique collection of boots that we believe our customers will covet," said Connie X. Rishwain, president of Ugg Australia. "The boots are a seamless combination of luxury comfort that the UGG customer has grown to love meeting the high fashion and bold look that Jimmy Choo has perfected." The boots, based on the traditional Ugg "with design details that embody the spirit of the Jimmy Choo brand," will come in five styles in a variety of colors. They will be available in limited distribution at Jimmy Choo and Ugg stores (where they will retail between $595-$795), as well as select department and specialty stores, jimmychoo.com, and uggaustralia.co
