What started as a surf brand in Southern California in 1978 during the height of counterculture has grown into a brand that now resonates with everyone. This year marks UGG 40th Anniversary and it’s tapped icons in the worlds of fashion and art to celebrate. Bold, fiercely individual, and unapologetic, these creatives represent the next generation of UGG.
ADWOA ABOAH
Model and activist Adwoa Aboah is a face and voice that represents our generation. She challenges conventional ideas of beauty, champions diversity, and empowers women both in front of and behind cameras. Her organization, Gurls Talk, gives young women an outlet to discuss mental health, sexuality, and body image.
“I love how UGG was initially a surf brand, but quickly became a brand worn by people all over the world.”
