As a fashion obsessive, in 1996 I started making delicate chiffon dresses from my teeny weeny basement bedroom and grew that business to selling internationally, celebrity clients including a British Royal, television appearances, showing on the OFFICIAL NEW YORK FASHION WEEK SCHEDULE, and LONDON, TOKYO & PARIS fashion weeks.
My work has been featured in editorials with publications such as VOGUE, MARIE CLAIRE, GLAMOUR, COSMOPOLITAN, WWD, etc.
I've also helped hundreds of fashion designers with their collections and noticed that most were making the same mistakes. They want to launch and scale their fashion business but can't seem to reach a wide enough audience to SELL their designs.
Designers often asked how I managed to grow my business so in 2021 I founded FASHION ENTREPRENEURS ACADEMY to help transform creatives to IN DEMAND FASHION DESIGNERS growing a MEMORABLE brand with competence and ease.

"I had no idea where to find editors and journalists and Jane helped me to draft a PRESS RELEASE ... and if it wasn't for Jane I would not be in LONDON FASHION WEEK!"
"It is super amazing to get a chance like that for LONDON FASHION WEEK... learning WHAT TO SAY, how are you PRESENTING it, what do you need in terms of STYLING, cards, LOOK BOOKS.... it was a huge learning experience and I really enjoyed it"
"Other students trying Jane's methods are SUCCESSFUL, featured in magazines, doing pop-ups and I am so glad to see their success as well."
""Jane's programme has been very helpful . The most useful parts were Audience building, Finding a high quality manufacturer, Drafting a press release Finding journalists and editors. ... and if it wasn't for Jane I would not be in LONDON FASHION WEEK!""
"The 3 X Launch Formula in FEA gave me a kickstart with a clear direction and structure. You can customise the way you want to run your business and I learned what is already working in the fashion business and new ideas. The value is beyond your imagination. Jane is the person to guide you if you are looking for a mentor or coach who has experience. You can totally trust her. "
"Fashion Entrepreneurs Academy has helped me to think about aspects like manufacturing and to change my mindset. Jane has been a really good resource in terms of linking us to manufacturers, suppliers and she also gave me a good guideline as to what kind of price we might want to pay someone i.e. someone was getting ripped off and she was like “Hey I think that’s too much”. "
"My biggest struggle before joining Fashion Entrepreneurs Academy was taking risks and hiring help. Jane really pushed me to see the value of my time and the possibility of increasing productivity and profit by hiring out work. Now I am preparing for the launch of a new product and interviewing for studio and marketing assistants. The process of getting a product made filled a huge knowledge gap and I also found the module about money, and the conversations with other students about how to budget and finance their launch was refreshingly realistic."
"I was a little bit all over the place and I didn't really know where I wanted to go with my business. After going through Fashion Entrepreneurs Academy I’ve gone from selling face-masks to friends and family and just making things for the sake of it to having a proper launch plan. I've now got loads of design ideas and resources. ....And the 1:1 weekly coaching was really useful because I got to discuss my plan and struggles.... I feel like I found myself while doing it! I've really enjoyed every minute of it!”"
"I found the weekly coaching so helpful. It was incredible to have my opinions matter and my questions be taken very seriously. The depth in which Jane was able to answer every question was phenomenal. I never expected so much information. Jane was incredibly helpful and so encouraging in every aspect of the course. I would not have a few pieces already in stock if Jane hadn’t have told me I could do it. "
"It felt unreal. It was super amazing to get a chance like that…. It was very cool to have my own collection in London… learning what to say, how to present, styling, look books and I really enjoyed it."
"Before FEA I was selling directly to customers and it wasn’t really enough to sustain myself. Now with the knowledge Jane gave me I'm able to tap into the wholesale side of business. I gained a lot of knowledge about exporting and different things I hadn’t considered. This is so great. You have no idea. I now see a wealth of life in lots of little stores."
"...Before the course I felt I couldn't do anything in fashion but it was always my dream. It's about taking baby steps. I now feel powerful and that I can reach my goals ....With Janes personal coaching I felt I was understood and there is somebody who wants to really help me reach my vision... I discovered my superpower and how to use it to build my fashion brand...."
"Jane gave me clarity especially around positioning and pricing which I was struggling with! Now I can confidently move forward. I am so pleased with my progress all thanks to Janes’ encouragement. Because of the steps learned in FEA I am now in discussions with a sample machinist discussing my first collection which is a huge step towards making my business a reality. Jane is a very generous teacher. She gives you what you expect and even more. Encouragement from other members of the group was helpful. And the contacts."

While just starting out I had the pleasure of being invited by the BRITISH FASHION COUNCIL to meet DIANA PRINCESS OF WALES and as the first European designer to use digital printing on catwalk designs I was nominated for SCOTTISH DESIGNER OF THE YEAR by judges including Vogue and Hilary Alexander.
I was able to grow my business because I learned how to achieve recognition and put systems in place to build fashion collections for NEW YORK FASHION WEEK'S OFFICIAL SCHEDULE and LONDON, TOKYO & PARIS FASHION WEEKS.
