Debuting this week, the SOREL x Jane Wade partnership introduces two silhouettes, the Callsign Low and the Callsign Mule Shroud, that expand Wade’s elevated workwear language into new terrain. Rendered in Wade’s signature natural palette, the collection blurs the line between workwear and lifestyle; footwear designed to work, not just to be worn.
The collaboration is introduced through The Summit, a campaign that relocates the Jane Wade archetype from controlled interiors to expansive landscapes. The campaign was across Oregon, a setting that feels intentional with both brands sharing Portland roots, and a place where performance and practicality are embedded into daily life rather than reserved for extremes.
The debut comes alongside Jane Wade’s New York Fashion Week runway show, where the footwear was integrated throughout the collection, reinforcing the idea of a complete, functional uniform. Styled as part of the look rather than an afterthought, the shoes underscore the shared design language between the two brands.
Together, SOREL and Jane Wade propose a new definition of the modern uniform, one that moves fluidly between work, environment, and lifestyle. It’s footwear designed not for a single setting, but for the way we actually live now.
For the Fall-Winter 2026 season, Fang Guo took inspiration from Christian Stemmler’s Anfang/Beginning: Berlin 1994-99, a photo series in which Stemmler sought to capture the authenticity of party culture and youth culture during the throes of war. The fashion of Stemmler’s photography is a most honest subversion of style by virtue of being reconfigured. The clothing was utilitarian and expressive. From casual afterparties to street photography, the project was a visual dialogue of social climate, just as much as FANG’s most recent collection is.
FANG’s lens is tried and true, an artistic endeavor that is corporeal, both contemporary and rooted in the memory of time. It sees this through with the use of detail and industrial materials. The designs see lots of leather, checkerboard prints in black, purple, and blue, stripes that lengthen the pieces, and silhouette-heavy tops paired with sheer bottoms. The balance created through these elements work toward a larger narrative of yin and yang, masculine and feminine, refuge and home. The sophomore show is a celebration of community at large and a collective movement through time.
