NEW YORK—As part of a collaboration between Ponhub and Berlin design duo Nan Li and Emilia Pfohl of Namilia, Jade Kush will participate in New York Fashion Week.
The 21 year-old performer with all-natural 32DDD-24-34 curves will walk in Sunday afternoon’s runway show, along with Pornhub ambassador Asa Akira, and Penthouse Pet Marica Hase. The three will be the first-ever adult stars to walk the runway at Fashion Week.
“Before I got into erotic modeling I’d looked into mainstream (and even some alternative-style), but my height and body type isn’t typical ‘runway’ material,” said Kush. “I’m thankful for this opportunity from Pornhub and Namilia for not just including me in not merely a mainstream fashion event, but New York Fashion Week!”
Namilia was founded by Li and Pfohl in 2015 after graduating the masters course at the Royal College of Art London. The fashion provocateurs’ first collection, “My Pussy, My Choice” was selected for VFILES runway in October of that year.
Namilia’s Fashion Week collection is called Herotica, and the designers say that their runway guest stars at Pier59 Studios this weekend are part of a feminist statement.
“The cosmos of sexual pleasure has been restricted to a few boring and chauvinistic narratives,” Li told Page Six, “Porn isn’t something existentially male. Most women just have been excluded from determining the narrative.”
While renowned for their trademark outlandish raver gear, the team is focused on bringing a voice to women's issues through their designs. Namilia has been posting promotional images on its Instagram of the Herotica collection, including tights bearing the phrase “FEMINISM FUCKS” and a vaguely cyborgian sculptural shoulder piece with “COCK WRECKERS” emblazoned on it.
“I really like their style and designs and am very excited to see what they have picked out for us to wear,” Kush said.
Kush was born in the city of Shenzhen, on the South China Sea coast. She came to the United States as a child, adopted and raised by American parents. After time as a webcam performer, Jade entered the world of adult movies in 2017, shortly before her 19th birthday.
Kush’s recent sexy releases include “Kush Queen” for Badoink VR, “After School Special” for Twistys, “Year of the Slut” for VR Bangers, “The Full Body Treatment” for Dirty Masseur/Brazzers, “Asian Bombshells 4” for Elegant Angel, and “My Asian Hotwife 4” for New Sensations.
Jade Kush is repped exclusively for adult shoots by licensed talent agency LA Direct Models. View her photos and find out how to book her at LADirectModels.com/model.php?n=JadeKush.
