After Dark: The Autumn-Winter Collection That Owns the Night

After Dark: The Autumn-Winter Collection That Owns the Night

Moody, bold, and built for impact - meet After Dark, our new AW collection designed for those who dress to be remembered. This season, we’re stripping back the frills and leaning into sharp silhouettes, tactile textures, and a colour palette that’s all about depth: black, chocolate, earthy florals, and the kind of red that stops conversations.

Inspired by the raw energy of ‘90s minimalism-think bias cuts, strategic cutouts, and a hint of rebellion. After Dark is for the dressers who want occasion wear that’s as effortless as it is unforgettable. Whether you’re after a Christmas party dress that commands the room, a cocktail dress with subtle edge, or a winter wedding guest dress that nails the brief, this collection delivers.

The Standout Styles

The Remi Lace Panel Dress in Black & Chocolate

For those who want drama without the fuss, the Remi dress is your answer. Floor-skimming satin meets lace panel cutouts  one at the bust, another at the lower leg adding a subtly sexy twist to a sleek silhouette. In black or rich chocolate, it’s the ultimate evening dress for anyone who wants to own the room, not just enter it.

Hint, wear it to: Winter weddings, cocktail parties, or anywhere the dress code is “make an entrance.”

The Dolly Dress in Black Satin with Fringe Cuffs

A black satin icon with a 3/4 sleeve and fringe cuff detail, the Dolly dress is back  and this time, it’s all about nighttime attitude. The ankle-length cut and subtle side split keep it sharp, while the fringe adds just enough movement to turn heads.

Hint, wear it to: Christmas parties, dinner dates, or as your go-to occasion dress when you need to look polished, fast.

The Ashton Dress in Autumnal Floral

Not all florals are for summer. The Ashton dress reworks the print for AW with pinks, browns, and earthy tones, set against a bias-cut silhouette that moves with you. Long, open sleeves and an on-trend low scoop neckline keep it modern, while the floral feels fresh, not fussy.

Hint, wear it to: Daytime events, autumn weddings, or as a statement dress when you want to stand out without overdoing it.

Why After Dark Works for Every Occasion

This isn’t a collection that sits in your wardrobe waiting for “the right moment.” These are dresses for real life designed to transition from office to evening, day to night, or wedding to after-party without missing a beat. 

• Christmas party dresses? Covered.
• Cocktail dresses with edge? Done.
• Winter wedding guest dresses that aren’t predictable? Sorted.

The After Dark palette -black, chocolate, deep red, and earthy florals means everything works back to your existing wardrobe. Layer with leather jackets, chunky boots, or minimalist jewellery to dial the vibe up or down.

The ‘90s Nod

We took notes from the decade that did minimalism with attitude. Think bias cuts, strategic cutouts, and fabrics that move, but updated for now. No nostalgia, just the good parts: clean lines, subtle sex appeal, and dresses that don’t rely on gimmicks. Because the best occasions don’t wait, and neither should your wardrobe.
