A very cool leather capelet from Caiti Hawkins' collection is featured on the cover of this month's LA magazine (in today's LA Times), which is called a "singular sensation" as #1 on The Style List (p. 33).

An excerpt:  Ultimately, Hawkins circles back to her native Cali. "It reminds me of falling water," says the Topanga dweller. "This is something someone could wear out to the desert to do a rain dance for L.A."
