How to Style the Big Collar Dress Black by Body Type

• Rectangle: Define the waist with a belt and a tucked layer to introduce shape. The Big Collar Dress Black in Black works well over a fitted base that lets the cut read clearly.
• Hourglass: Lean into the waist-defining lines and let the 100% Polyester skim rather than cling, so the silhouette stays sharp.
• Tall: Column and elongated shapes suit a longer frame. The vertical line of this piece flatters height without overpowering proportion.
• Petite: Look to the high-waisted, structured proportions here. The clean shoulder line of the Big Collar Dress Black helps balance a shorter frame.

About A.W.A.K.E. MODE

A.W.A.K.E. MODE is a London ready-to-wear label founded in 2012 by Natalia Alaverdian, a former fashion director at Harper’s Bazaar Russia. The house built its name on sculptural tailoring and bold asymmetry, taking the language of classic suiting and cutting it off balance. A.W.A.K.E. MODE shows on the Paris Fashion Week calendar as a member house of the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode, and the label is stocked by Net-a-Porter, Selfridges, and Harrods. Its tailoring reaches the red carpet too: Renée Zellweger wore A.W.A.K.E. MODE to the 2019 Vanity Fair Oscar Party, and Rachel McAdams wore the label on Jimmy Kimmel Live in 2026. It is a Luxury Handbags editor favourite for women building a wardrobe of directional, investment-grade design.

Where A.W.A.K.E. MODE Is Made

A.W.A.K.E. MODE is designed in London and produced across specialist European ateliers. As declared on the care label, this piece is made in the country shown in its product details, with the wider collection crafted in Italy, Lithuania, Poland, and Portugal. Each A.W.A.K.E.

“The A.W.A.K.E. MODE Big Collar Dress Black in Black is exactly the kind of piece I recommend for a wardrobe with a point of view. The cut is confident and the proportion is considered, and the 100% Polyester gives it the weight to last.”
