Huntington-Whiteley&#8217;s UGG partnership will begin with a fall 2016 campaign featuring the iconic Classic Boot re-imagined with a range of new features and benefits anticipated to launch globally in August 2016.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s an honour to be partnering with a global brand that is loved as much as UGG,&#8221; said Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. &#8220;When I started modelling one of the first things I ever purchased was a pair of Classic boots as comfort to me is everything. The updated Classic offers the same immediate comfort but now with an edgier, street style appeal that can be worn indoors or out.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As an internationally accomplished model and actress, Rosie&#8217;s effortless elegance and authentic love for UGG make her the perfect ambassador as her confidence, style and natural warmth mirror our brand values perfectly,&#8221; said Dave Powers, President of Deckers Brands. &#8220;Originally from England but now based in Malibu, Huntington-Whiteley personifies what it means to live a contemporary California casual, yet global, lifestyle. We could not be more proud to welcome her into the UGG family.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/352833.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-12259\"><img data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/352833.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/352833-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/352833-768x504.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/352833-680x446.jpg 680w\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/352833.jpg\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-12259 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"Rosie Huntington-Whiteley at Daylesford Organic Farm\"    sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-12259 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/352833.jpg\" alt=\"Rosie Huntington-Whiteley at Daylesford Organic Farm\" width=\"800\" height=\"525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/352833.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/352833-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/352833-768x504.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/352833-680x446.jpg 680w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As the face of the new UGG Classic II Huntington-Whiteley&#8217;s signing coincides with the biggest re-launch the brand has ever made since its inception thirty-seven years ago.
