Although Nicky Hilton innocently leaked the first image of a design from Jimmy Choo's much buzzed about collection for UGG boots short (see her Twitpic here), the official photos of the boots -- Chuggs, if you will -- are finally here!
In a series of 10 images shot by Roberto Aguilar, the five boot styles from the limited edition capsule collection have been revealed.
First up is Starlit, the UGG boots Hilton was gifted, a traditional shapeless boot rendered in soft lambskin and covered in silver and brass stars and topped off with suede fringe.
Two other styles in UGG's signature silhouette include the Kaia (above, right), which is studded and remade in a wild leopard and zebra print, and the Mandah (above, second from left), an elaborate boot glittering with silver and gold grommets that swirl around each other in circular patterns.
The latter boot is worn by Amber Valletta in Jimmy Choo's Cruise 2011 ads shot by Ines van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin and featuring the model in Mandahs, jean shorts, and a leather jacket while sitting on a vintage motorcycle in front of New York City's St. Regis hotel.
Rounding out the capsule collection are the Sora (above, second from right), a higher hippielike boot with two rows of suede fringe around the top, along with a row of star grommets, and the Siobhan (above, far left), a knit cashmere-blend boot with fringe trickling down the side.
The designs, which won't hit stores until Oct. 21 but can be pre-ordered online and in select stores, come in a palette of black, chestnut, chocolate, and charcoal, and each includes a metallic Jimmy Choo logo patch.
"Other than Jimmy Choo, UGG Australia is really the only other footwear I have in my wardrobe," claims Jimmy Choo's creative director Tamara Mellon in a statement. "I wear it at home in New York, on holiday in Malibu, and as an essential travel accessory for my plane wardrobe."
On or off a plane, would you wear Mellon's new UGG creations? Or do you think they are UGG-ly? Let us know in a comment.
Even if you consider yourself a savvy shopper capable of spotting a fake a mile away you might want to double-check your favorite UGGs, some of the counterfeits up for sale lately are more than a little convincing.
The tricky part is that the latest UGG knock-offs aren't made of chintzy materials or with poor technique -- they actually have some quality behind them. Both boots pictured here are made of quality sheepskin with reinforced seams. They're both heavy, comfortable, and substantial boots. The only obvious difference is in the logo -- the overly large one on right marks the black boot as the imposter.
So how to tell if you've got the genuine article or have been duped with a knockoff? Besides the logo we've got four other telltale signs to look for in the gallery below, courtesy of the WSJ.
