UGG Shows at London Fashion Week
Iconic Footwear Brand Collaborates with Preen by Thornton Bregazzi
for SS17 Show
LONDON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–UGG® presents an exclusive collaboration with global fashion house Preen
by Thornton Bregazzi. The two piece collection, which was inspired
collaboratively by both fashion brands and features in Preen’s LFW show,
is available to buy for Spring/Summer 2017.
Debuted on the catwalk this morning, the two styles combine a modern,
playful aesthetic with Treadlite by UGG™ technology, creating stylish
yet wearable footwear. Available in black and white, the iconic flatform
style has been updated with oversized bows to create a striking
silhouette and highly covetable collection. The addition of adjustable
utilitarian straps and a chunkysole lends an urban cool to the edit
while still retaining the effortless luxury that UGG® is synonymous for.
As the women’s collection goes from strength to strength, the brand
dispels the perception that UGG is only a cold weather brand, providing
an ever diversifying summer collection which can be worn for both
fashion & function throughout each season.
Preen by Thornton Bregazzi comments:
“The shoes are part of ‘Tokyo Pastel Goths’ and in part the seamless
gloss of Jeff Koons manipulations of balloon and bow Art. We worked with
UGG to develop runway shoes that are effortless and edgy, cute and
tough, it’s all about the attitude.”

UGG comments:
“I know many people will be surprised by this collaboration but we
have wanted to work with Preen for some time as we saw a great fit with
our core design values. Much like us they have always done their own
thing, regardless of trend and they continue to re-invent the idea of
femininity. The product delivers a different fashion edge for us. We are
really excited by the results and think our customers will be too.”

on the catwalk on 18th September 2016.
