As UGG Ambassador André Leon Talley Assesses His Influence As Vogue Editor

UGG has tapped established fan of the brand and former Vogue editor André Leon Talley as the latest ambassador for the comfy brand’s “Feel” campaign. Talley was photographed at his home in White Plains, New York where he was shot wearing the brand’s Neuman and Tasman silhouettes.

Launched in fall 2020, the debut “Feel” campaign featured Fulton Leroy Washington and Sonya Sombreuil, as part of a collaboration with Los Angeles’ Hammer Museum. 

When asked by UGG about his own history of wearing UGG boots to fashion shows, Talley explained, “I thought at first UGG had a connotation of being tacky. People said, ‘Oh, I would never be caught wearing an UGG.’ I said it for a very long time too, and then I found an UGG and put it on. It’s extraordinary and it’s a confidence boost, the Classic Boot is just great. I have no shame. I am very proud of UGG and I love wearing UGG.”

Talley also addressed his New York Times bestseller, Chiffon Trenches, an autobiography that created a storm when excerpts were released in April 2020 revealing scathing takes on his former boss, Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.

While Talley and Wintour are no longer friendly, he still looks back on his time with the publication as important and influential. He explained, “I’m very proud of what I achieved there. I’m very proud of Anna Wintour and my relationship with her, and what she has done and what she’s contributed.

“I felt that I made a difference to some people. I know that if Anna Wintour did not name me creative director in 1988, there would’ve been no way that Edward Enninful would have become the first Black editor-in-chief for British Vogue.”

Notably, Vogue hasn’t as yet covered the story of Talley’s new roll as UGG ambassador.

Givenchy reative director Matthew M. Williams will Givenchy reative director Matthew M. Williams will step down from the role following a three-year stint with the LVMH-owned label. Williams will present his final collection with a men's and women's pre-fall 2024 collection, to be unveiled in the coming days. 

Leading the creative direction of Givenchy was, as I said upon my arrival in 2020, the dream of a lifetime,” Williams said in the statement. “Over these three years, I have strived to perpetuate Mr. Hubert de Givenchy’s legacy while bringing my own creative vision and I would like to sincerely thank the studio, Renaud de Lesquen and LVMH for this incredible opportunity.”

While Williams was credited with the buzzworthy Shark boot and Voyou handbag, he was often derided by the online fashion community for falling short of achieiving the same level of buzz and cool when the label was under Riccardo Tisci's creative direction from 2005 to 2017.

Williams will continue to head creative direction for his own label, 1017 Alyx 9SM, which recently announced plans to ramp up production and expand door count through a parntership with Adrian Cheng, a Hong Kong entrepreneur.
