Jane Henderson founder of Fanniann had many creative jobs
prior to founding the Fanniann label in 2005, not least as a drummer in an all girl
band in the 90's. It was at this time that a trip to India galvanised her creative
urge.
Goa in the 1990s was full of creative people and great markets and Jane returned
with a new determination to create the kind of clothes she loved and didn't seem to
be out there.
Following 6 years of training in Fashion Design and Pattern-cutting, Jane emerged
with Distinction and prestigious awards in 2002.
A period of individually made designs sold to local boutiques followed and,
though Jane wanted to move things up a notch.
It wasn't until her entrepreneurial brother Keith came in as mentor that her dream
could be realised. With Keith as Business Manager and childhood friend Michelle as
Creative Director, the Fanniann label was born in 2005.
