Let our new limited-edition collection guide you through summer event dressing
A busy time of seemingly endless invites to social events – from weddings to the races – summer demands something more from our wardrobes: a need for seriously great occasionwear. This season, occasion dressing takes on a bold new identity with the launch of our second collaboration with London label-of-the-moment A.W.A.K.E. MODE.
Landing on 2 April – both online and in select stores – the collection of dresses, tailoring, shoes, bags and more showcases the distinctive A.W.A.K.E. MODE codes of asymmetric lines, textures and draping movement, imagined in a bold colour palette.
Designed in London, all 34 pieces were developed by Natalia Alaverdian, A.W.A.K.E. MODE’s Founder and Creative Director, with our in-house design team. ‘It is very joyful, bright and full of life,’ Natalia says, when describing the collection. ‘We were trying to create a perfect summer wardrobe by ticking every occasion box.’
Here’s our guide to occasion dressing with the new collection.
A pop of colour
Playful pops of pink and citrussy lime green create a palette to suit any summer occasion. Put simply, these pieces promise to please (and turn heads).
