Ugg Australia has recruited designers like Manolo Blahnik, Carlos Falchi, Rebecca Minkoff, Rafe , and more to design high-end versions of the brand's trademark boots for its seventh annual Art & Sole auction.
I have to assume these will be filed under unaffordable , but I'll still be going to the Web site on December 1 to window shop and see what these designers have cooked up.
I
am trying to picture what I would do to make these high end... Real
Italian leather? A pearl brooch? Other expensive ingredients and
sparkles? Maybe the differences won't be that extreme, but I hope each
designer puts his personal touch on the shoe. I'm certain at the very
least you'll be able to pick out which Uggs came from Betsey Johnson
(ugg 5815, please!).
The event is likely to inspire as many
interesting Ugg knockoffs as there are regular Ugg knockoffs, so it is
possible we'll see something like this around town next year. It's not
only a great event for charity but probably also a good move to keep
Uggs alive and relevant... especially with the number of people who'd
like to see them disappear for good!
I will of course keep
wearing my Uggs because A) I have them and B) they are warm, but if
your kid asks Santa for Where the Wild Things Are Uggs... I feel for ya.
