Comprised of bomber styles, capes and full length pieces in Natural colors, along with metallic backed suedes, the collection of shearling coats and jackets is inspired by Burrows' earlier work for Henri Bendel.

"The Lux of the hides and the colors are inspiring to my design aesthetic and I love the natural finish it creates. There is something very raw and sensual about it," Burrows said.

Colors are Natural, pebbled metallics, in gold, silver, red, black, brown and tipped animal pattern.

The shearling collection is targeting major department stores and specialty stores in the USA, Canada, and Europe. Price points begin at $1200.

Six years ago Burrows designed a well received capsule shearling collection for Henri Bendel.
