Ugg or Ugh
24/12/2008 09:05
It doesn?t matter whether you love or hate the ubiquitous sheepskin boots beloved of all those Aussie sheepshearers out in the Outback. Ugg boots have got their foot firmly in fashion?s door.
The craze spread, spawning thousands of cheaper imitations, from as little as ?8, and even the deeply unfashionable Geri Halliwell was spotted in a pair. Earlier this year, a thief ram-raided a supermarket to get some cigarettes dressed only in a sheet and his girlfriend?s Uggboots. One could argue this was as much a serious fashion crime as anything else.
Social ?teen-angels? like Alice Dellal, Peaches and Pixie Geldof and Daisy Lowe might prefer stompin? biker boots and Kate Moss has moved on to wearing over-the-knee, ?principal boy? boots over her skinny jeans.
But the genuine Uggs, despite a price-tag of at least ?140, continues to be good, bad - and ugly, the word from whence its name derives.
Are you an Ugg-oholic? Let us know what you think of the Ugg boot .
