Collection: Decode House

Decode House is a Vietnamese womenswear label built on three stated pillars: a new approach to women's tailoring, a commitment to decoding the right fit, and a practical definition of sustainable fashion. In practice that means blazers, shirts and trousers in twill, cotton, bamboo and modal, plus a large group of silk and silk-blend maxi dresses. MEAN BLVD carries a wide range of Decode House, including The Lilyum and Aurum Luxe capsules.

About Decode House

The Decode House look

Tailoring comes first. The Langham Collared Twill Blazer, the Langham Straight Twill Pants and the Langham Cuff Sleeve Cotton Shirt form a complete suit, and the same logic runs through the Helena V-Neck Twill Blazer, the Valery Peplum Twill Blazer and the Colette Straight Slit Sleeved Twill Blazer. Trousers are cut straight or wide: the Colette Straight Wide Leg Twill Floor Length Pants fall to the floor, the Valery Straight Wide Leg Modal Ankle Length Pants stop at the ankle. Shirts such as the Gina Cuff Sleeve Bamboo Shirt use bamboo fabric, which is where the brand's sustainability claim shows up in the product itself.

The dresses are softer. The Eden A-line Silk Maxi Dress and the Helen Scarf Neck Silk Maxi Dress are the core silk styles, while the Ursula High Neck Draped Maxi Dress, the Chau Mermaid Turtle Neck Silk Blend Floor Length Dress and the Eloise A-line Collared Neck Silk Blend Ankle Length Dress all keep the neckline high.

Capsules and separates

Two capsules are live at MEAN BLVD. The Lilyum is the larger group and leans toward the silk and chiffon dresses. Aurum Luxe gathers the richer fabrics, among them taffeta blazers like the Moira Peplum Taffeta Blazer and the Capella Peplum Taffeta Blazer with their matching pencil skirts. For separates, start with the Pants edit for the wide-leg twill styles and the Tops edit for the bamboo and cotton shirts.

When to wear Decode House

The tagging is clear: office, daily, going out, graduations, anniversaries and wedding-guest events. The suits and shirts cover the working week. For Gulf customers, the collection is unusually well suited to coverage: many dresses are ankle or floor length with high, mock or turtle necks, and the Esther Batwing Sleeve Button Maxi Dress and the Carmen Drop Waist Cold Shoulder Sleeved Silk Blend Maxi Dress give long lines without bulk.

How does Decode House fit?

Fit is the brand's stated obsession, and the cuts are precise rather than oversized. Blazers are shaped at the waist with peplum or single-breasted closures, trousers sit at the natural waist, and sheath dresses follow the body. The A-line and draped maxi dresses are the relaxed options.

How should I style the tailoring?

Match within a family: the Cedar Peplum Twill Blazer with the Cedar A-line Twill Pants and the Cedar Collared Rayon Shirt is a ready-made look.

Where else should I look?

The The New Modest Edit collects long-sleeve and floor-length styles from across MEAN BLVD, and the Dresses edit covers every length.
