Moon Boots were first created in the 1970s by manufacturer Tecnica Group of Giavera del Montello, Italy. Throughout the decades, they have become a popular trend especially during the 1980s and the, more recent, past decade with an array of celebrities wearing them like Olivia Palermo, Miley Cyrus and Paris Hilton to name a few.
They are comfortable footwear and, in terms of insulation, they are perfect for bitter cold winter days. They’re an ideal practical and trendy accessory to pack away with you for ski season and they’ve accessibly been given a style rebirth throughout the years to keep them fresh and up-to-date.
The most recent news for the iconic brand is that they have partnered with Jimmy Choo to created an exclusive limited edition collection. The luxury accessories brand have taken the iconic Moon Boot construction and translated it into a range of sophisticated, ultra glamorous designs synonymous with the Jimmy Choo name. The capsule collection comprises eight styles in multiple colour and material variations including premium options in luxurious shearling and fox fur.
Sandra Choi, Creative Director at Jimmy Choo said: “I’ve always loved the futuristic, yet retro-cool Italian design of Moon Boot, and am delighted to create a Jimmy Choo signature look befitting the style.” Tecnica Group’s CEO, Alberto Zanatta added: “This collaboration between two great brands enhances our focus on premium goods for an international audience of fashion lovers. With the creativity and unique design talent at Jimmy Choo, we are sure that the partnership will be a great success.”
