Kevin Germanier put a striking spin on the iconic silhouette for his first ever show during AW22 Paris Fashion Week.
Californian lifestyle brand UGG is proud to have partnered with Kevin Germanier for the brand’s show on the closing night of Paris Fashion Week.
Thoughtfully integrating the bold DNA of each brand, Germanier blended the iconic silhouettes of the UGG Classic Tall II and UGG Classic Mini II boots to create a new, over-the-knee design exclusively for the runway.
“I envisioned a very unique UGG couture boot for this carte blanche. I like that the final result is unexpected. In these silhouettes, there is everything that roars in me, everything that pushes me to transform darkness into light, to tell life in all its brilliance. Not to pick up the pieces, but to organize something like an encounter between know-how and out-of-control; giving the embroidery the illusion that it is imploding, dripping wax over ice cubes, and smearing it with hair gel, photo-printing it. Go further while dressing attitudes and not just images.”

Taking the UGG Classic boot to new heights, the designer showcased his extraordinary craftsmanship through the use of extravagant embellishments, bold colored feathers and up-cycled Swarovski crystals.
About Kevin Germanier
Kevin Germanier, a designer heralded for his sustainable approach to fashion, made “Germanier’s” debut in 2018. The brand focuses on the use of luxury, up-cycled fabrics with captivating details (such as discarded beads). Germanier diverts from the
homespun image that eco-friendly fashion is known for, and instead draws inspiration from a futuristic vision of utopia.
Look out for bold pieces like sculptural jackets, glitter-strewn dresses and sharply spliced skirts. Germanier’s business has also been named 30 under 30 by Forbes in 2020 in the category “Europe – Arts and Culture.”
