Sarah Jessica Parker To Halston

The pieces, which will retail from $595 to $795, are based on Ugg’s sheepskin boots “with design details that embody the Jimmy Choo brand,” the two companies said in a statement. Jimmy Choo president and founder Tamara Mellon didn’t seem surprised by the pairing. “Ugg Australia is the only other footwear I have in my wardrobe,” she told WWD. We can’t wait to see the results!
