New luxury women’s wear by Norma Jean

11/08/2008

After a year of retirement, Norma Jean Kirchner has designed a new range for active women featuring various types of fur. The Cedric's Luxe Collection is named after Mrs Kirchner’s husband Cedric, who is also a 40-year veteran in the luxury fur business.

The collection, which will launch on August 15, ranges from day-to-day wear to luxury evening apparel. It includes jackets, wraps, collars and scarves.

"These are not your grandmother's mink coats," says Mrs Kirchner. "Our fur accessories are designed to be lightweight, fluid and move easily, unlike traditional fur coats that are typically full-pelted and heavy.

“Our designs incorporate modern cuts, unique colorations and often knit together different types of furs, such as Rex Rabbit, mink, fox and raccoon, along with cashmere, Kalgan lamb and other materials to create interesting textures.”
