Academy Award winner Marlee Matlin, Gilles Marini and Austin Butler are recurring guest stars.

JANE BY DESIGN follows at 9 p.m. ET/PT. Jane must juggle two of the most important nights of her life – at the same time – in “The Runway.”

Jane is thrown for a loop when Gray assigns her the last-minute task of getting the new accessories line ready for the Spring Preview Party. Jane is pretty sure she has bit off more than she can chew, but with Jeremy looking to make amends, the two team-up to guarantee the line is one that critics and buyers won’t soon forget.

Meanwhile, Nick leverages his knowledge of Billy’s secret relationship with Lulu to get advice on approaching Jane. When Nick asks her to the Winter Formal, Jane thinks life couldn’t get any better. But when she realizes the Winter Formal is the same night as the Spring Preview Party, her two perfect nights become her worst nightmare.

Costume Designer Patricia Fields and W Magazine Editor-In-Chief Stefano Tonchi
make guest appearances.



JANE BY DESIGN is executive produced by Gavin Polone, April Blair and John Ziffren. The series stars Erica Dasher, David Rogers, Nicholas Roux, Rowly Dennis, India De Beaufort, Meagan Tandy, Matthew Atkinson, and featuring Andie MacDowell.
