Japanese royal family furrier Chie Imai hopped a quick flight from Japan to New York to toss a lovely lunch, hosted by Francine LeFrak at Cipriani in the Sherry. Later that evening the legendary (and now eco-friendly!)
fur designer’s new collection wowed guests’ gazes at her eponymous Madison Ave. boutique, while simple, succulent sushi pleased their pallets.
