"spending my time on a girl i know..."

"...she's got jimmy choo's,ooo's,ooo's"

The collaborations seem to keep coming and coming and coming, no matter how strange they've become. Take for example one of the latest one: Scottish rubber wellington boot company Hunter (the brand of choice for the Royal family) has teamed up with stiletto master Jimmy Choo to create a line of limited edition boots. While still maintaining Hunter's traditional black rubber silhouette, the boots have been embossed with the signature Jimmy Choo crocodile print and feature a leopard print lining, metal rivets, and gold buckle hardware. Available in June 2009, the boots will be sold exclusively in Jimmy Choo boutiques here in the U.S. as well as in the U.K., and worldwide on www.jimmychoo.com.

I don't know what to think of this one, guys. On the one hand, I love Hunter and I think it was a great idea to revitalize the brand with a fashion maven like Choo. On the other hand, however, it just seems to be a lot going on for one boot: crocodile embossment, leopard lining, black rubber, gold hardware...would at least two different styles and colors have been too much to ask for?
