# Actor-Starring Collaborative Fashion The Elder Statesman and UGG Join Forces on a Capsule By Amy Duong | Published 2023-10-12 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elder-statesman-and-ugg References: [highsnobiety](https://www.highsnobiety.com/p/the-elder-statesman-ugg-seth-rogen-campaign/) & [highsnobiety](https://www.highsnobiety.com/p/the-elder-statesman-ugg/) The Elder Statesman and [UGG](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ugg-collaboration) work in collaboration and the refreshing collection is seen in a bright campaign starring comedy star Seth Rogan. Selecting the actor aligns with the design language as his laidback personality perfectly pairs with the design theme of the joint range. The vivid visuals are defined by the works of "bead artist Jaime Gerin, glassblower Cedric Mitchell, textile artist Sesan, and surfboard shaper Kyle Albers. Oh, and there's also a massive plush figure called the "Abominable UGGman." The [plush footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boss-2) is what shines in the spotlight as it features contrast accents throughout. Rogan's ceramic creations are also shown in the campaign, seeing works from his [HOUSEPLANT](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gloopy-ashtray-1) brand including vases, and Rogan himself working with pottery.
