Dawn Levy Fall/Winter 2012 Outerwear Presentation

As Creative Director of successful outerwear brand, Laundry, Dawn Levy introduced her own label to much success. The line features competitively priced luxury outerwear in lush fabrics, some with and without fur trims. With her outerwear already a top seller at Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdales and Saks, Dawn Levy down coats, furs, trenches and anoraks are a rare and amazing find among outerwear brands whose designs often lose the shape of the female silhouette. It's chic outerwear that's warm but not voluminous.

With retail prices ranging from $600 to $1,500, Dawn Levy fills the gap in the affordable luxury coat department. One of my favorites from her Fall/Winter 2012 collection is the above Minka Double Faced Wool Jacket with Leather Sleeves. This stunning jacket features two of this season's best trends - wool and leather elegantly combined in a V-neck wrap silhouette with single button closure

While the full length coats were sublime, I was wowed by her sorter pieces like her camel -colored Piper Wool & Cashmere Wrap Coat that features a shawl collar which drapes back into a slouchy hood. Dawn Levy designs are a must-have for those blistering fall and winter days.
