Speaker Bio
Based in NYC, Jane Wade develops her collections by thoughtfully bridging the gap between workwear and office attire. With careful consideration for every detail, the garments are constructed from inside-out with quality techniques that offer colorful storytelling within the finishings themselves. Through a fresh lens, the brand takes a playful yet considered approach to luxury with its use of color & visual proportion. Wade views the purpose of garments as multifunctional, designing segmentary pieces that are adaptive with the intention of the wearer.
Jane Wade entered the industry with an internship at Alexander Wang on the RTW Runway development team in 2018. Wade’s next industry position was with Danielle Frankel when she entered the CVFF in 2019. Wade stayed with the brand for 2 years before moving over to Elena Velez. At Elena Velez, Wade came on as her Development Director during her time moving through the CVFF. In 2022, Jane Wade began building her first eponymous capsule collection which was eventually launched in store at Bergdorf Goodman under a 2 season exclusivity contract. Since the brands launch, Wade has seen a sell-through at full price of 58% of their first collection with them at Bergdorf Goodman.
