“Feels Like UGG is a celebration of how we are more than iconic products and experiences. We are a Brand that makes you feel good inside and out,” said Anne Spangenberg, President of UGG® & Koolaburra by UGG® at Deckers Brands. “That feeling is unique and welcomes you to be comfortable in your self-expression, building connection and community where you can be your most authentic self. At UGG, we celebrate this connection and community, so self-expression is comfortable for all.”

Inspired by the brand’s iconic Twin Seam stitch and how it brings two things together, Feels Like UGG® connects an inspirational global cast including Alex Consani (She/Her), HANNI (She/Her), Karabo Poppy Moletsane (She/Her), Leah Dou (She/Her), Phil Oh (He/Him), Precious Lee (She/Her), and Young Mazino (He/Him). The cast represents the UGG commitment to creating an inclusive community that celebrates unconventional attitudes, and individuals who celebrate all that they are while radiating a creative energy that inspires one another.

Directed by We Are From L.A., photographed by Samuel Bradley and created in partnership with AKQA, the campaign shows the cast on an energy-filled journey throughout the streets of Seoul, a global center that celebrates modern creativity, while dressed in the new UGG Autumn/Winter 2024 collection. Feels Like UGG® opens with everyone having a solitary moment in time until their paths cross and their confidence catches each other’s eye. This connection takes the cast from creating solo memories to connecting and celebrating each other’s self-expressions including Leah Dou and Young Mazino playing music in a record store, Karabo Poppy Moletsane creating one-of-a-kind works of art, Phil Oh photographing Alex Consani & Precious Lee in an impromptu photoshoot and HANNI expressing herself through song.
