Ugg and Jimmy Choo to launch a collection. Together.

Since we're nowhere near April Fools Day I have to assume WWD is right and Ugg Australia and Jimmy Choo are, indeed, about to cooperate on a footwear collection, set to launch in October:

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

Prices for the line will range from $595 through to $795, and the collection will be carried at select Jimmy Choo and Ugg Australia stores and the two labels’ online stores, as well as at certain department and specialty stores that carry Jimmy Choo.

I can't even begin to imagine what these shoes are going to look like, but I'm ready to be amused.
