About Jane

Jane has always loved being around people and fashion and Jane Hayes Consulting has given her the opportunity to combine these two passions. Jane has studied business, advertising and fashion styling and she has worked in marketing, events and retail fashion. Jane has had experience working in different retail environments from youth to more mature brands, so she can relate to all different shapes, sizes and ages.

In 2009, Jane co-organised the inaugural 'The Spirit of the Black Dress' exhibition at Melbourne Spring Fashion Week. Jane was responsible for the sponsorship, marketing and public relations for the event, which provides a platform for emerging Australian fashion designers. The 10 designers were selected for their response to environmental issues facing the fashion industry and challenging the traditions of a black dress. The success of the event in 2009 has lead to its inclusion in the L'OREAL Melbourne Fashion Festival 2010.

Jane takes her environmental consciousness from her involvement in The Spirit of the Black Dress in to her consulting sessions, guiding her clients to reclaim items from their existing wardrobes and to shop more effectively.
