Top Korean designer Andre Kim has just launched a luxurious line of coats through his new ``Fur Art Collection.''
Kim, considered a pioneer in Korean fashion, offers his first ever collection of beautifully made coats in the most sumptuous mink, chinchilla and lynx furs.
Designed to keep people fashionably warm during the cold winter weather, these plush fur coats exude the signature Andre Kim romantic and elegant sensibility.
There are lustrous mink coats in ivory, black and brown shades that will be the object of desire for many women. The eye-catching collection also includes a gorgeous brown sable coat, a soft-looking chinchilla coat in graduated black and a cream-colored lynx jacket dappled with light brown spots.
The Andre Kim Fur Art Collection has been touted as a high-end luxury brand. It is poised to become a success, in light of fur's renewed popularity this season. Fur has once again become a hot fashion trend, perhaps helped by the unusually cold temperatures that have gripped the country.
As temperatures continue to drop below zero, the Andre Kim fur coats will no doubt provide people with more fashionable, if not opulent, alternatives to the usual wool coats or down-filled jackets.
These fur coats promise to add a touch of sophistication to anyone's winter wardrobe. It is the perfect outer wear not just for people wearing Andre Kim's lovely evening gowns, but anyone who is looking for a timeless, classic and yet warm coat.
Kim is renowned for his ``Fashion Art Collections,'' characterized by richly colored and intricately detailed evening gowns and dresses. He has always taken inspiration from Korean, Oriental and European culture.
Kim has become the unofficial Korean fashion ambassador through his numerous fashion shows staged abroad.
Aside from fashion, the Andre Kim brand is known for a wide range of products, including jewelry, golf wear, eye wear, children's clothing, bedding, home lighting, Hankook Chinaware porcelain dishware, Samsung household appliances, wallpaper, a Kookmin Bank credit card and interior design for apartments.
