Jane Wade Debuts 'The Fulfillment' at NYFW With Tech-Laced Workwear

The warehouse-set NYFW show recast workwear as a critique of time-as-currency, with bodily surveillance in focus.

Overview

  • Staged in a Brooklyn warehouse, the presentation opened with a timer projected on the walls and closed with a model wearing a timer, with a cameo by musician King Princess.
  • Jane Wade framed the collection around labor sold for wages, shifting her narrative from corporate offices to warehouse floors and the visibility of workers’ bodies.
  • Abbot’s Lingo glucose biosensor was styled on models in what coverage identified as the first consumer biowearable shown on a New York Fashion Week runway.
  • Nothing’s latest audio devices appeared as integrated accessories, extending the collection’s theme of wearable technology as part of everyday uniform.
  • Footwear arrived through a Jane Wade x SOREL collaboration, while garments stripped back buttons to expose intimates and incorporated utilitarian props like clipboards, pens and briefcases.
