It doesn’t seem like a match made in heaven, but Tamara Mellon has spoken and Jimmy Choo will be collaborating with Ugg Australia to produce five limited-edition sheepskin boots.Mellon, Choo’s Founder and President, told WWD, “Ugg Australia is the only other footwear I have in my wardrobe,” which is a fantastic endorsement for this made-in-Oz brand.
Available later in the year, possibly October, these Jimmy Choo uggs will cost between US $595 to $795 (around AU $645 to $861).
So far the fashion world has been astounded by this partnership, with the Guardian asking, “When is a fashion marriage destined for divorce?” and also comparing it to Lindsay Lohan’s disastrous collaboration with Ungaro (click here for our article on that fiasco).
We are not sure about the success of this partnership either. However, we suspect it won’t create the sale stampede of Choo’s recent budget collaboration with H&M (read more about this in our November 17 article).
