Object Ugg x TS Fatale Heel

Last autumn Tschabalala Self presented her first performance piece, Sounding Board, at the Performa 2021 Biennial in New York. The play’s two protagonists discussed everything from the literal to the non-sensical against a backdrop of colourful, patterned, painted boards and oil paint projections created by the artist. They wore costumes and footwear designed by Self and made in collaboration with Ugg. Now, her first capsule collection with the American brand, which includes some looks from the Sounding Board wardrobe, is available to buy online and in store. Think bold colour-blocking, harlequin checks and prominent seams on some of Ugg’s most iconic styles. ‘It was a kind of natural fit,’ she has said. ‘Ugg is a brand that deals a lot with materiality and texture and I deal with that stuff in my painting as well.’
