As we turn into the warmer months, we tend to rethink our whole wardrobes, heavy-duty layers are swapped out for lightweight alternatives, and dark winter tones are replaced with bright, airy pastels or bold, vibrant jewel tones.

Arguably the SS25 A.W.A.K.E Mode x John Lewis collaboration has to be the ultimate destination to shop for your spring capsule wardrobe essentials. Officially launching today, this 34-piece collection is a celebration of 'bold and modern femininity.' Featuring a strong, vibrant colour palette and a variation of distinctively sculptural silhouettes – from draped blouses to tassel sandals – this collection has it all!

A.W.A.K.E Mode is a luxury designer brand that is well-known for directional designs, and prices typically range up to a thousand pounds for the ready-to-wear collection. Which is why this collaboration with John Lewis is the perfect opportunity to snap up elevated designs for much less.

This collaboration is extremely similar to the ready-to-wear collection available to shop from A.W.A.K.E Mode directly, however, prices are significantly higher. This multi-circle layered maxi skirt in black is £935, whereas the circle skirt from the John Lewis collection is extremely similar in design and available to shop for £229.

Notably, this collaboration feels both functional and inventive, offering wearable pieces for everyday errands whilst catering for sophisticated evening events or for creating elevated and on-trend date night outfits. Plenty of the pieces are perfect for occasionwear looks, including the dreamy circle skirt that would pair perfectly with the white heeled mules for a warm-weather party.

This being said, there are more laidback pieces that can be worn every day. The wide leg jeans have to be some of my favourites this season, offering an exaggerated, retro-inspired silhouette that feels as though they are simply made to be paired with chunky clogs or platform heels. Alongside everyday staples, there are excellent accessories to shop too, including white leather mules that would complement almost any warm-weather outfit and a studded hobo bag that offers the chicest finishing touch.

Trinny Woodall is also a fan of A.W.A.K.E Mode, and praised the first collaboration in an Instagram post whilst styling their grey three-in-one blazer.

The collection is designed by Natalia Alaverdian, A.W.A.K.E. MODE’s founder and creative director, alongside the John Lewis in-house design team. Natalia comments on the collaboration that ‘it is very joyful, bright and full of life’, later saying, ‘We were trying to create a perfect summer wardrobe by ticking every occasion box.’
