Some of the campaign images for this collaboration are of you three posing like you’re taking punk-esque yearbook photos. Do you have any horrendous or amazing yearbook photo memories?
Honestly, they all look amazing to me now because it’s amazing that we survived those experiences, haha. A yearbook photo is way higher pressure than any photoshoot.
What are the commonalities between MUNA’s identity and UGG’s?
Probably being cute as hell and often traveling in packs.
You’ve mentioned that you feel like the art you’re creating is way more interesting than how you look, which I think is admirable in a creative industry that’s become impacted by superficial criteria for success. But, what role does fashion play in your artistic expression?
I often need to be dressed kind of in character for a song I am working on. It’s a way to inhabit the creative spirit of whatever era you are in.
As a proudly queer band collaborating on a campaign geared toward young people, what advice would you give on the practice of self-expression in personal or social settings?
There’s no right way, go at your pace. Trust your gut about who is safe to open up to and who may not be. Having fun with it is always cooler than being cool.
What’s your favorite way of expressing your authenticity?
Being onstage playing our music.
Let’s talk about your high school selves. What’s changed for you internally since then? What’s thankfully stayed the same?
I was really full of feelings and devoid of almost any awareness around them and compassion for them, haha. I’m still very full of feelings but thankfully have more of the latter now.
Your music has already tackled themes like obsession, rebellion, and desire with tracks like “Wannabeher” and “Big Stick.” What might you want to explore next?
Smaller things.
Where are you wearing your UGGs this fall? How are you styling them?
We’re wearing our UGGs on our tour! So that means on the bus, in the venues, and on our little walks to get coffee in whatever city we happen to be in.
Cornelius Schmitt, CEO and Co-Founder of Zellerfeld, says, “Why would you go into a shoe store with 100 designs that all look the same and don’t really fit, when you could come to Zellerfeld for millions of beautiful designs from creators around the world, all made to fit you?”
In this rollout, the marketplace, the product, and the process become one, meeting in a singular space. In this way, Zellerfeld makes online footwear shopping feel alive. The purchase is no longer a one-off transactional relationship but an experience that is searchable and rankable. The ZellerFIT platform creates an entirely user-based experience, thanks to the introduction of a Fit Profile that logs the foot scan and personalization choices for users and stores this information.
Elsewhere, the capsule expands on that same balance of sport and luxury with Crowns of Cairo headwear finished with Swarovski crystals, silk tops, tailored linen suiting, and leather goalkeeper gloves.
