Meet the UGG Collective for Autumn/Winter 2017
A global lifestyle brand founded on the beaches of California, UGG continues to celebrate its diverse and unique culture in its Autumn/Winter ‘17 campaign through the UGG Collective.
First introduced for SS17, the UGG Collective is made up of Californians who, like the brand itself, all have interesting stories to tell. Photographers. Musicians. Actors. Surfers. Skaters. Wanderers and seekers. They are provocative, progressive, free-spirited, sensual, optimistic and warm.
Each season, UGG selects a new group of unique individuals each with their own original story to tell. In doing so, the UGG Collective symbolises the diversity and storied heritage of the brand itself, which is rooted in its native California. This season UGG travelled with the UGG Collective to new places. Spending time in a mid-century Malibu home on Leo Carrillo Beach and in the mountains of Mammoth, UGG went back to its roots to take inspiration from its native California for the new Autumn/Winter season.
Like UGG, they are provocative, progressive, free spirited, sensual, optimistic, and warm.
