Angelo Baque’s Awake NY is understandably, deeply rooted in New York City heritage. The brand draws playful inspirations from the early ’80s and ’90s, with cult favorites such as Clerks and Barry Levinson’s Diner adding to the aesthetic affects. While prep school stylings in the form of wool trench coats and trousers run rampant throughout the collections, there is a rebellious nature that continues to tie everything together in an almost grungy way.
