UGG Australia to open up shop on Madison Ave.

After all these years, UGG Australia reigns as one of the most popular picks for boots.

No matter how much the fashion world bashes the sheepskin boots, you can still expect to see them on women and men every year...and not just in the winter.

Now, the brand is opening up a flagship store in New York.  The company has acquired 2,600 square feet at 600 Madison Avenue, on 58th Street.

The store will open in November.

Guess they will be selling Jimmy Choo's design for their brand!

What do you think of UGG boots? Do you still wear them, or do you run away from them as far as possible?

Jimmy Choo UGGs?


Jimmy Choo seems to be loving collaborations lately.

After creating a collection for H&M, the label is now launching a limited edition, five-piece collection with Ugg Australia.

Crazy, right?

The collection will launch in October, and will based on the construction of Ugg's sheepskin boots “with design details that embody the spirit of the Jimmy Choo brand,” the two companies said in a statement.

Prices will range from $595 to $705, and the collection will be available at select Jimmy Choo and Ugg Australia stores, and the two labels' online stores, as well as certain department and specialty stores that carry Jimmy Choo.

Tamara Mellon, president and founder of Jimmy Choo, said that alongside her own label, “Ugg Australia is the only other footwear I have in my wardrobe.”

Most of the fashion world looks down upon UGGs, but could this collaboration deem the infamous boots "fashionable?"
