I'm the founder of Fashion Entrepreneurs Academy. My own fashion business has been a favourite with celebrity clients including a member of the British Royal Family ... and my work has been featured in publications such as VOGUE, MARIE CLAIRE, GLAMOUR, COSMOPOLITAN, WWD, etc.
As a fashion obsessive, in 1996 I started making delicate chiffon dresses from my teeny weeny basement bedroom and grew that business to showing on the OFFICIAL schedule at NEW YORK FASHION WEEK , also LONDON & PARIS fashion weeks.
I've helped hundreds of fashion designers and most are making the same mistakes. They don't know how to reach the fashion press or buyers or even how to talk to them so that they respond. They want to launch and scale their fashion business but can't seem to reach a wide enough audience to SELL their designs.
So I created this mentoring and coaching programme with live coaching calls, 24/7 instant access to detailed video training and a private COMMUNITY to help transform FLOUNDERING creative designers to a RECOGNISED FASHION DESIGNER
& CEO growing a MEMORABLE brand with competence and ease.

CLICKITY CLICK TO ENROL IN FASHION ENTRREPRENEURS ACADEMY"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."
"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 it made a difference not just for myself but also for my customers. I learned what is already working in the fashion business and new ideas in running a business. This has been a wonderful programme. 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, is open and very friendly. You can totally trust her and she created a safe environment for everyone to open up. "
"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!”"
"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 which I had never considered before. I can also see myself growing greatly on that side of business. Jane gave me everything I absolutely need to move my business and move forward. She shared so much, even in the programme private Facebook group. I gained a lot of knowledge about exporting and different things I hadn’t considered. This is so great. You have no idea. I have got to a place where I am so comfortable. I see no limits. I now see a wealth of life in lots of little stores."
"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. "
"...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."
and now I build from that business experience through my unique 3X FASHION LAUNCH FORMULA in Fashion Entrepreneurs Academy to help designers like YOU prepare your brand to attract press and clients!

Have a pressing question you need answered before enrolling in Fashion Entrepreneurs Academy? ...... Below is a list of the most common questions I've been asked. If for some reason you don't see your question, just email [email protected] so I can assist you.
Fashion Entrepreneurs Academy was created for those who have a collection ready to LAUNCH in the marketplace so that I can help you attract press & sales and turn your brand into a scaleable fashion business.
The best thing about this programme is that it works for new fashion entrepreneurs and also those who have been in business two or three years.
Due to the nature of the three re-launch phases which you'll cycle through over and over again, as long as you have a collection ready to be reviewed this is for you and in the programme you will learn about setting up the actual business structure etc.
Fashion Entrepreneurs Academy was specifically crafted with unsupported Fashion Designers in mind to help them attract press & clients and become the Fashion Design CEO of their business. What makes this programme different than any course you've taken is that it is broken down into three cyclical areas of re-launching your business over and over again as you reach each next revenue level:
#1. MANIFEST : You'll discover the secret to getting customers BEFORE you build your product, develop the right mindset and get your business structure set up for SUCCESS. I guide you through exercises and processes to get you quickly UNSTUCK and ON TRACK so you can face any challenge with confidence and clarity.
#2. INNOVATE : Here we cover everything to do with designing and producing your products: Original Marketable Design, Strategic Collection Editing, Range Planning, Sampling, Product development, Manufacturing, Marketing, Pricing, Sales & Route to Market etc.
#3. LAUNCH : Planning and executing a successful launch event! I’ll show you how to MEASURE and improve your success, build a harmonious TEAM and SCALE your business.
Fashion Entrepreneurs Academy is structured in three phases consisting of 12 modules. There are currently a total of 138 lessons including resources, replays and bonuses.
Most lessons are in bite size snacks of less than 10 minutes so you can easily fit some retraining into your busy schedule.
A tiny following isn't a problem. You can start with a list of zero as I will show you exactly how to expand your reach.
I built my business with zero social media so I can help you attract customers with AND without social media.
If you're asking "how will I find the time to do all this?"....i
.. Well, Fashion Entrepreneurs Academy is actually the remedy for to overwhelm. It's designed to help align your actions so you can see the BIG PICTURE of your VISION.
When you start FEA you can identify one specific mini method or the necessary actions you need to take to progress to the next phase.
So, if you can commit just a few hours a week to the training, you will start to see rapid growth and progress in your business immediately.
I hear from a lot of new fashion entrepreneurs that they do not feel "ready" and that's why the first module in FEA is dedicated to getting you "ready" ! The truth is that the only way to feel "ready" is to actually get started. To take action. FEA helps you take that first messy action with a supportive methodology and community to help you get over that initial messy start and to reach the In Demand Fashion CEO role in your business as soon as possible!
As you'll quickly learn, I highly recommend attracting the right people to support you as you realise the VISION for your business. However many of my students do get results while "flying solo".
Approaching your business without a team won't be too much work. It will simply mean you will move at a different pace. So, with that being said, in the programme I help my students bring on their first team members quickly, easily and affordably.
Yes. Once purchased you'll receive a receipt by email that you can use to file an expense report.
Fashion Entrepreneurs Academy was created for those who have a collection ready to launch in the marketplace whether or not you can draw or have been to fashion school. If you've got a collection I can review it, help you communicate it to customers and press and turn it into a scaleable fashion business.
So, yes, if you have not been to fashion school this is 100% for you.
In fact fashion design degrees don't teach fashion CEO skills. They only teach one element - design and to be the boss of your own fashion design business you need so much more.... which you'll find inside Fashion Entrepreneurs Academy.

I was able to grow my business because I learned how to achieve recognition from the press and put systems in place to build fashion collections for NEW YORK FASHION WEEK (on the official schedule), PARIS FASHION WEEK & LONDON FASHION WEEK.
