JW Anderson and UGG officially announce their first collaboration. For this occasion, Jonathan Anderson's label focuses on two must-haves from the Californian brand's catalog: the Classic Boot and the Tasman. The Irish designer draws inspiration from the penny loafer, a moccasin whose codes he frequently incorporates into his collections.

For several seasons, Jonathan Anderson has been exploring the world of moccasins, both in his ready-to-wear collections and in his accessories. This time, the designer applies this inspiration to UGG's classics, with a collection that retains their identity. For this occasion, the Tasman becomes the Loafer while the Classic Boot is renamed Loafer Boot. Both models feature the signature details of the penny loafer, including a strap across the front of the foot adorned with three metal rings. The designer also keeps UGG's iconic materials, using suede and a wool lining in three colorways.

To accompany this first collaboration, UGG and JW Anderson enlisted Dev Hynes, aka Blood Orange, who appears in a campaign centered around everyday scenes. The JW Anderson x UGG collection drops on October 15 on the JW Anderson and UGG websites.
