In 1999 she became the first Asian designer invited to open the New York Fur Collection whose participants include Valentino, Yves Saint Laurent and Oscar de la Renta. Since 2001 she has expanded the collection show to five cities in addition to Tokyo. She has been awarded commendations from the Asian-American Advisory Council and New York City for the fine artistry of her work.
The Royal Chie Collection by Chie Imai uses only farmed fur. As fur can be recycled, it is possible to turn a well-loved piece into a new product. A fur of durable and high quality can be treasured for years and passed from parent to child; it is not something you wear once or twice and toss, and it never becomes waste. Since the ultimate destination of fur is back into the ground, it is transformed into new energy in the natural environmental cycle.
