40) Jane by Design

Title:  Jane by Design
Creator:  April Blair
Producers: Gavin Polone, John Ziffren, & April Blair
Director:  Patricia Riggen
Year:  2012

Plot: Jane Quimby is a high school senior who wishes to be an intern for one of the top fashion designers.  When she goes into interview she is mistaken for an adult and given the job of assistant to Grey Chandler Murray, the world famous fashion designer.  When Jane hears the salary, she jumps at the chance to help out her brother with the bills.  Her mother and father are no longer around and Jane is left in the custody of her older brother who is struggling to find a permanent job.  The show revolves around Jane trying to handle a double life of high school senior and fashion assistant.  Her best friend Billy is the only one that knows the truth about Jane’s job and is always around to help her in a jam.

Review:  In January, ABC Family broadcasted ten episodes of Jane by Design.  The show is quite amusing and shows a great deal of trouble that Jane finds herself in while trying to lead a double life.  Her job is very demanding and she must hide all of this from her brother, Ben.  During the series, Jane has to go to Paris to meet her boss, babysit a super model, and help create fashions for numerous fashion shows.  Teens will enjoy seeing how Jane handles herself in these difficult situations.  This is a great show and luckily it has been picked up for another eight episodes, planned to air this summer.
