Dawn Levy may not be a designer you know — but you should! Trendsetters Gigi Hadid, 20, Emily Ratajkowski, 24, and Kate Hudson, 36, have all been spotted in her on-point outerwear.
Dawn launched her eponymous line of statement-making coats in 2011. While the affordably-priced label has been mostly under the radar with the general public, her 'outerwear makes the outfit' approach to design is a big hit with A-list fashionistas.
Dawn talked to FEMAIL about the importance of hip toppers, the styles every woman should have in her closet, and more. Here's our roundup of what the stars are wearing.
Emily Ratajkowski struck a pose in the shaggy faux fur Tibe coat outside the Public School fall 2016 show

It's no surprise that 'It' girls like Emily Ratajkowski and Gigi Hadid rock cool coats. 'Outwear is the first layer everyone sees,' says Dawn. 'Its not just for warmth; it's for style.'
Gigi tried (unsuccessfully!) to go incognito in her Lara knee-length wool coat wearing the faux fur hood up. The Lara also comes in sky blue, but naturally, Gigi opted for black in New York.
A basic classic for Emily? Not a chance. The Gone Girl actress turned heads at the Public School fall 2016 show in the shaggy faux fur Tibe coat.
Kate Hudon looked cozy all bundled up in the Tabitha faux fur by Dawn Levy, $395. The topper comes is several colors and features a removable hood scarf and mufflers
'Whether you are going to the gym, work, dinner or an event - throwing on a statement coat ensures that your style and personality are represented and that your outfit is complete,' says Dawn.
Why blend in? The abstract, art deco inspired black and white face print of Hailee Steinfeld's Faces coat packs a serious punch.
Kate Hudson was definitely the envy of all, bundled up in the oversized collarless faux fur Tabitha coat. Cozy enough to snuggle up in, this topper features a removable hood scarf with mufflers to keep warm.
The fit and flare silhouette of Carrie Underwood's Fergie II gave the country crooner an hourglass shape. Fergie II by Dawn Levy, $450
Country singer Carrie Underwood whittled her middle in the Fergie II with it's self-tie belt. The fit and flare coat features a vegan leather trim.
With so many styles to choose from, how many coats should one woman own? Dawn recommends one in every category (i.e., down, wool, mini quilt, fun fur).
'As far as shapes go, always look for a piece that has a flattering fit and offers wearable options. Removable sleeves, bibs and liners work with all-weather types ensuring functionality without sacrificing on style,' she says.
'All coats serve a purpose and make a lasting statement. Don't leave home without it!'
