On the heels of its hugely successful collaboration with H&M,Jimmy Choo this morning announced that it is partnering with UGG Australia to launch a limited edition, five-piece collection debuting in October. The label on each shoe will read: “Ugg & Jimmy Choo.” This marks the first time the two footwear labels have worked together and the results will undoubtedly be eagerly anticipated by loyal fans of both brands. Given Jimmy Choo’s luxe sex appeal, I personally cannot wait to see how glamorous these new Ugg boots will be (images were not readily available).

What I do know is that the collection will be based on the construction of Ugg’s signature sheepskin boots “with design details that embody the spirit of the Jimmy Choo brand,” the two companies said in a statement. 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.”

Prices will range from $595 to $795–undeniably expensive–and the collection will be carried at select Jimmy Choo and Ugg Australia, online, as well as at certain department and specialty stores that carry Jimmy Choo.

A sheepskin stiletto boot? I don’t know if I can handle that–but only time will tell.
