Jane Wade’s "The Merger" was a striking interplay of structured precision and fluid asymmetry, where corporate formality fused with subversive deconstruction. Crisp tailoring met avant-garde draping, creating silhouettes that felt both authoritative and undone, like a rebellion simmering beneath order. Accessories and details—utility clips, arm bands, Walkman’s, bluetooth earpieces, and sharp eyewear—added a cyberpunk edge, reinforcing a vision of power that was futuristic yet deeply human.

Known for his exuberant use of color, sculptural silhouettes, and meticulous tailoring, Rogers reaffirmed why he remains one of the most exciting voices in American fashion today.
