Willy Chavarria has remade the Ugg boot into a piece of biker armor, giving sheepskin softness an unmistakably rough edge.
Chavarria frames the collection as a study in contradiction, protective cladding worn over the softest material in American casualwear.
The debut capsule runs unisex and builds its line around leather boots, clogs, and hotel slippers, all rendered in the designer’s signature high-contrast palette.
Slippers in the shape of the hotel-room classic carry the same attitude, sculpted tall and arching where discretion might expect a flat, modest sole.
The boots trade the brand’s familiar shag for clean leather, the silhouette squared and lowered where the original leaned round and plush.
Priced from roughly $190 to $800, the drop lands September 10, a meeting of two vocabularies that share more gravity than their reputations suggest.
