Thigh-High Ugg Boots Are Now Here, Via One Of Fashion's Coolest New Brands
Ugg boots have been a winter mainstay since the early 2000s but now, the classic boot is getting a redesign that will certainly catch your attention, even if you don't like them.
In a special collaboration with French Fashion brand Y/Project, Ugg reimagined its iconic boot for a collection including slouchy over-the-knee styles, triple layered renditions, and slides. One thing's for certain: these are not your Paris Hilton's early Noughties Uggs.
Tapping into the ongoing ugly shoe trend (let us not forget this past season's Balenciaga Crocs), Ugg and Y/Project's designs are a mash-up of thigh-high, fashion-forward takes and reconstructed silhouettes.
'The UGG Classic boot is one of the most recognisable shoes in history. Its timeless and challenging design made it a worldwide statement. Y/Project is about challenges. Since launch we've been twisting the grounded codes, we challenged the acceptable and triggered people by putting focus on the unexpected. By reworking the Classic boot with a typical Y/Project twist such as the triple overlaps and the extra-long legs we want to celebrate the UGG brand's unique history,' Glenn Martens, creative director of Y/Project, said in a statement from the brand.
The boots will range in price from $300 - $1,400 and will be available to shop this fall.
As the wise philosopher Paris Hilton would say: That's hot. (...Or that's not?)
