If you search Google for "all-season sandal", only three search results will be displayed. Perhaps this meager result gave the initial spark for Feng Chen Wang to design a sandal that can be worn all year round without getting cold feet? The Chinese designer created this unusual shoe shape for UGG and designed a sandal-boot hybrid that you never thought you would need, but now you really want it. Inlay” can be worn in two ways.

“Even though I've worked with shoes before, this is a new and radically different work that I've enjoyed exploring. The meeting of the cultures, backgrounds and origins of both brands is exactly what makes this cooperation interesting and meaningful”, as Feng Chen Wang explains the contradictory “warm vs. cold” aesthetic. "We're excited to see how our signature functionality and deconstructed design language can interact with such iconic shoes in a new way."

Feng Chen Wang was born in China but lives in London. She studied MA Fashion Menswear at the renowned Royal College of Art in London and graduated in 2015. She describes her aesthetic as "futuristic modern, authentic and multidimensional". The designer has focused on technical outerwear and creates conceptual unisex clothing. She became known to a wider public in 2016 through her nomination for the LVMH Prize and through a collaboration with Converse. So far, Feng Chen Wang has designed nine collections.
