Awake Mode AW26: 35 New Pieces and Pre-Order Dates

The A.W.A.K.E. MODE AW26 collection on Coveti brings eight new ready-to-wear pieces and 27 new shoe colourways made in Italy, with heels from 10 mm to 100 mm. Most of the shoes are on pre-order, with atelier dispatch expected between 26 and 30 October 2026 and between 9 and 13 November 2026.

Autumn/Winter 2026 is the season Natalia Alaverdian’s London label leans hardest into footwear, applying the same off-balance tailoring logic that defines the clothes. Shoppers also search it as “Awake Mode AW26”. Everything below is live on the A.W.A.K.E. MODE brand page.

What is new in A.W.A.K.E. MODE AW26?

Eight ready-to-wear pieces built on jersey, denim, tailoring and knit, plus a full shoe offer of boots, pumps, sandals, flats and a loafer.

The clothes take the label’s signature, classic suiting codes cut off balance, and apply it to softer everyday fabrics. The shoes carry the same thinking into curved and swan-shaped heels, oversized bows, a fan-shaped palm vamp, pom-poms and Western-inflected boots.

Which AW26 ready-to-wear pieces should I look at first?

Start with the jersey pair and the jabot top; they show the season’s idea most clearly.

• Jersey Slouched Sleeve Sweatshirt, grey melange ($540). Mid-weight organic cotton fleece with a mock neck and one draped, slouched sleeve. The slouched sleeve sweatshirt is the most accessible entry to the season. Made in Portugal, sized XS to XL.
• Jersey Jogger With Attached Shirt Skirt, grey melange ($1,070). An asymmetric organic cotton shirt-skirt with a sleeve belt at the waist and a folded front lapel, layered over an elasticated jogger. The jogger with attached shirt skirt is the AW26 piece that most plainly says “A.W.A.K.E. MODE”. Made in Portugal, XS to XL.
• Victorian Style High Collar Top With Jabot, light blue ($1,030). Pure cotton, a high Victorian collar, a structured jabot and extended cuffs. Tuck the jabot top into high-rise trousers. Made in Poland, UK 6 to 18.
• Knitted Cardigan, beige brown ($1,500). A 70% merino wool and 30% cashmere blend with a shawl collar, detachable faux fur cuffs and a deconstructed belt that wraps the waist. The knitted cardigan with faux fur cuffs is made in Lithuania, XS to XL.
• Cropped Flared Trousers, classic blue wash ($820). Mid-rise cotton denim that opens gradually to a shortened flare. The cropped flared trousers are made in Paraguay, UK 6 to 18.

Three more AW26 pieces round out the offer. The High Rise Rounded Trousers in black ($1,340, made in Poland) have a fitted waist and a soft balloon through the leg. The Wide Leg Denim Pants in mid blue ($1,000, made in Portugal) patch contrasting rinses into an oversized leg. The Basque Multicircle Skirt in ivory ($2,690, made in Lithuania) is the season’s statement: a curved basque waistband releasing into laser-cut discs. Browse the wider range in designer trousers and designer knitwear.

What are the new A.W.A.K.E. MODE AW26 shoes?

Twenty-seven colourways across boots, pumps, sandals, flats and a loafer, every pair made in Italy.

The current styles use leather uppers, insoles and soles, and each pair comes with a dust bag. Heels run from a 10 mm flat to a 100 mm sandal, with most of the boots on a 70 mm sculpted wedge.

The heels

The Christine Cousin Shoes With Swan Heel ($1,700) set a swan-shaped heel in contrasting silver and gold under a square, partly open toe. The Arna Shoe in python-embossed leather ($1,220) carries the texture right down the curved wedge. The Lea Shoe With Palm ($1,320) fans layered leather strips up from a pointed toe on a 50 mm kitten heel. More in designer heels and our guide to sculptural heels.

The boots

Boots are where AW26 goes furthest. The Viggo Boot in python ($1,550) gives a cowboy-inspired curve a sculpted wedge. The Tess Boot With Zip ($2,210) runs a clean zip down the front of a knee-length shaft. The Christy Boots With Pom-Poms ($1,770) are in stock now, wide in the calf with oversized pom-poms at the vamp. For a lower heel, the Dana Alta sits on a 45 mm kitten heel; our kitten heel knee-high boots guide covers that shape. Shop the full range in designer boots.

The flats

The Vivian Flat With Palm in leopard ($1,220) puts the palm vamp on a 10 mm sole with an ankle strap. The Leonore loafer adds a plush fur trim to a rounded square toe at $990.

When will AW26 pre-orders ship?

Atelier dispatch is expected between 26 and 30 October 2026 for the first group and between 9 and 13 November 2026 for the second.

The October window covers the Arna Shoe, Edda Sandal, Dana Alta Boot and New Christy Boot. The November window covers the Lea, Remy and Solenne pumps, the Viggo, Gabriel Sister, Soren, Tess and Noa boots, the Leonore loafer and the Vivian flats. Pre-order styles are marked as such on each Coveti product page. Christine Cousin, Christy, Dana Super Short and Lauren are in stock now.

How does AW26 sizing work?

Shoes use Italian sizing; clothing is listed on Coveti in UK sizes.

Shoes run IT 36 to 41, with some styles from 37 and some boots from 38. Italian and EU scales match, and 38 EU is about a UK 5 and a US 8. Most styles fit true to size. The brand notes that the Viggo boots, the Gabriel Sister boot and the Lea Shoe With Palm run large, so take a size down. Jersey and knitwear come in XS to XL. Tailored pieces follow the brand’s French cut, where FR 38 equals UK 10. Our A.W.A.K.E. MODE size guide has the full conversion.
