It's a rare thing to be a founder of a fashion brand and remain 100% in control of your business and 100% committed to the same vision you had when you started out two decades earlier. But both things are true of Jane Lewis who has been at the helm of her quietly successful luxury fashion brand, Jane, since the day it was established 20 years ago.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \"I like to be the captain of my own ship,\" says Lewis from her central London atelier, tucked away in the basement of a grand house in Marylebone. \"It's my company, it's not just my name. I'm on the coalface,<\/strong> I attend the fit meeting, I try on the toiles. When I say I've designed it, I've designed it.\"<\/p>\n Initially named Goat, as the brand started out with knitwear, Jane has amassed a growing, and in many cases extremely high profile, fanbase, thanks to its exquisitely made, timeless designs that can take women from work to a wedding \u2013 and a hundred other scenarios in between \u2013 with confidence and ease.<\/p>\n
