How to Style A.W.A.K.E. MODE: Sculptural Tailoring for Real Life
[coveti_shop_v2]
A.W.A.K.E. MODE works on a simple principle: one piece does the talking, and everything else stays quiet. The cuts are directional enough that they do not need help. Your job is to give them room. Here is how to wear the house signatures so the design reads clearly.

Style the bib-front tailoring
The structured jackets and bib-front shapes are the heart of the house. They have a built-in collar drama, so the styling underneath should be plain. A fine black knit and straight trousers let the jacket lead by day. For evening, slip the same jacket over a column dress and add a sharp heel. Keep jewellery to one piece. The cut is the jewellery.
Style the asymmetric dresses
An A.W.A.K.E. MODE dress is usually built around a single detail: an off-centre collar, a cut-out, a bib front. Let that detail be the whole look. Skip the belt and the layered necklaces. A clean shoe and a small bag are enough. If the dress has an open back, wear your hair up and let it show.
Style the Mirror jeans
The wide-leg Mirror jeans are a statement in their own right. Treat them like tailoring, not casual denim. A fitted knit tucked in, a structured bag, and a clean leather flat keep the proportion sharp. A heel under the wide leg lengthens the line further. This is denim for dinner, not the weekend.
Build a capsule
A.W.A.K.E. MODE rewards a small, considered set of pieces over a big haul. A structured jacket, one asymmetric dress, and the Mirror jeans will restyle endlessly against the quiet basics you already own. The house palette of black, navy, and light grey melange means the pieces talk to each other without effort.
