André Leon Talley is the new face of Ugg

André Leon Talley, the well-known former editor at large of Vogue magazine and front row seat occupant during Fashion Week runway shows, is now starring in Ugg’s latest advertising campaign.

And he’s quick to correct the any notion that he would never wear Uggs.

“I am the No. 1 Ugg fan,” he told Footwear News, adding he has been seen numerous times on the front row during Fashion Weeks in Paris, London, Milan and Rome wearing the classic Ugg boot. He has also sported the signature boots to several flashy events.

In a press release he called Ugg’s shoes “comfort food for my feet “It’s intelligent. It’s comfortable and it’s full of style.”

Talley, known for his oversized caftans, posed for the campaign at his home in White Plains, New York.
