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 an IN DEMAND FASHION DESIGNER growing a MEMORABLE brand with competence and ease.
CLICKITY CLICK FOR SECRET ENROLMENT BOOK A PHONE CALL WITH JANE""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."

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.
If you don't yet have a collection you will firstly go through our BASICS OF FASHION DESIGN FOR FASHION CEO's training which is already waiting in your training portal when you enrol.
Then you will step into the FASHION WEEK FORMULA to prepare for our fashion week showcase!
And after fashion week you can graduate to the 3 X FASHION LAUNCH FORMULA which has been created for those who have a collection ready to LAUNCH so that I can help you attract press & customers and turn your brand into a scaleable fashion business.
The best thing about this programme is that it works for completely new fashion entrepreneurs and also those who have been in business for up to ten years.
Fashion Entrepreneurs Academy was specifically crafted with Creative Fashion Designers in mind to help them step into the Fashion Design CEO role their business needs for longevity.
What makes this programme different than any course you've taken is that it is more of a transformational EXPERIENCE where INVISIBLE designers learn how to promote themselves and become RECOGNISED.
The programme is broken down into cyclical areas of re-launching your business over and over again as you reach each next revenue level and designers get a lot of hand holding from me to benefit from 30 years fashion business MASTERY.
The FASHION WEEK FORMULA has four core pillars:
and these will be taught live on weekly calls during 2 months prior to fashion week and 1 month after fashion week.
Thereafter you have quarterly calls with me
In addition to the FASHION WEEK FORMULA you will also receive the 3 X FASHION LAUNCH FORMULA which is structured in three phases consisting of 12 modules with at least 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 a 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.
The Fashion Week Formula + Showcase is structured into 2 months training prior to fashion week (or less if your collection is ready to go) and one month intensive training after. Then you can go at your own pace because calls are quarterly....
If you don't want the structure or showcase then you can go through the Fashion Week Formula (without showcase) at your own pace because we only have quarterly calls.
But if you're asking "how will I find the time to do this?"....
.. Well, Fashion Entrepreneurs Academy is actually the remedy for overwhelm. It's designed to help you focus on what is most important to achieve your goals and VISION quicker.
Even if you can only commit a few hours a week to the training, you will start to see rapid growth and progress.
I hear from a lot of new fashion designers that they don't feel "ready" and that's why with the FASHION WEEK FORMULA + SHOWCASE I help you get ready so you don't miss any important steps.
If next fashion week is too soon for you then you can dive into the training and get my support so that you are very well prepared for next fashion week. We will do this twice a year (September and February) and you will not loose your spot if you would rather hold off showcasing your collection for a season.
Also, the first module in the 3 X FASHION LAUNCH FORMULA (that is already waiting inside your training portal) is dedicated to getting you "ready"!
You already know that the only way to feel "ready" is to actually get started and take action...
... and FEA helps you take that first messy action with a masterful formula, me and a supportive community to help you reach the In Demand Fashion CEO role your business needs and get your brand recognised as soon as possible!
As you'll soon learn, I recommend getting the right people to support you so you can reach your goals faster.... usually starting with an intern and freelance pattern makers & sample machinists.
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.
But, with that being said, in the programme I help my students bring on their first team members quickly, easily and very 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 people who want to build a creative fashion business and lifestyle whether or not you can draw or have been to fashion school.
Most of the designers in the programme did not go to fashion school and can't draw but it is certainly not preventing them moving forward with their dream.
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.
If you don't have a collection then I recommend starting with the BASICS OF FASHION DESIGN FOR FASHION CEO's which is already waiting in your training portal.
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.

Upon your first login, you will get instant access to the course and Members-Only Facebook Group.
