Why Couldn't I Be a Fashion Designer in High School? A Review of Jane By Design - ABC Family

I love her outfits and impossibly high heels. I love her best friend, Billy. I love her boss - played by Andie MacDowell. I love the fashion. What is not to love about ABC Family's new teen drama, Jane By Design . The show is based on a highly improbable, but amazingly wonderful, premise - a teenage girl has a chance to live a double life - escaping the drudgery of her snobbish high school peers to work for a fabulous designer in New York City. Perfect, right? This is every girl's teenage fantasy. The show features an extremely likeable main character who is being raised by her older brother. There are no parents around to compliate things. While her older brother was a high school success, Jane struggles to fit in. Her best friend is a mohawked misfit named Billy. To viewers, Jane and Billy seem like an obvious match, but so far remain best friends. The show is a great choice for moms to watch with theirteenage daughters. Sabrina and I both enjoy the close calls ...
