Jane Wade Brought a High-Fashion Boardroom to Life for Fall 2025

Against a backdrop of floor-to-ceiling digital screens projecting Docusign ID verifications and a cubicle-like structure serving as the runway’s centerpiece, Jane Wade presented a high-fashion boardroom for its Fall 2025 collection. Continuing the New York City-based label’s ethos of highlighting classism within the corporate world through reimagined office attire, Jane Wade’s latest collection is aptly titled “The Merger.” The show starred a cast of business-ready characters, from entry-level interns to executive-suite moguls (including the one and only Lisa Rinna, who closed the show by ‘acquiring’ the Jane Wade company in an oversized plaid power suit).

“The Jane Wade language always is discovering all the facets of what it means to be a working professional, and as somebody that has launched my own business within the last few years and then growing and escalating my own professionalism, my own business acumen, my own business language, the collection each season is a reflection of me growing as a professional,” Wade told Fashionista after her eponymous brand’s runway show on Thursday.

Wade’s evolving design expertise took center stage via sharply tailored suits, complete with statement shoulder pads perfect for practicing power poses, elongated-yet-structured sleeves and flowing wide-leg trousers. Technology’s ever-growing presence in our lives also served as a major touchpoint for the collection, with models sporting telephone headsets and tangled headphones taped onto their skin or entwined in their hair.

“It’s all about utilizing tech to help us,” Wade said. “Even integrated into the makeup, our makeup artist, Karla Hirkaler, she developed this concept of deepening the eyes. Across some of the looks you’ll see, of course, our executive suite, it’s very dewy. They’re hydrated, they’re getting $900 face peels, and then our assistants and interns are tired. They’re plugged in, they’ve got their headsets on. It’s almost like our tech is draining us.”

Leaning into the show’s overarching concept of businesses coming together (hence, “The Merger”), Jane Wade partnered with multiple companies to build out its corporate storyline: Cans of prebiotic soda brand Olipop doubled as accessories; PopSockets outfitted the fictional company’s devices; Nike’s Air Max Muse added a touch of sophisticated athleticism, while Docusign highlighted artificial intelligence’s growing prominence in the corporate world. (All of these brands were sponsors of the show.)

“We’re continuing the brand’s language to try to work in a way where we can integrate partners that make sense with the theme of each collection,” Wade noted.
