Meet the New Age of Office Wear: How Jane Wade Made Us Excited About 9-to-5

With her runway show at the New York Fashion Week, Jane Wade has achieved the unthinkable: to get every single person in the room excited for the office.

We mean fashion-wise.

The designer used her typical structured proportions, dominant padded-shoulders, and metallic accents. The designs further featured deconstructed poplin shirts and wool suits to highlight the “proper” work attire.

But the meaning behind the FW25 collection called THE MERGER was much deeper, actually pointing at the sometimes absurd corporations’ culture.

According to Deeds Magazine, each model was supposed to represent a business archetype, like Lisa Rinn, who embodied the CEO, closing the Thursday’s show.

Wade also explored a new trend, the so-called E-waste, using pieces of technology, like headphones, as body jewelry. And during her presentation, some models even had phones turned to the audience, recording them.
