ABC Family's new series JANE BY DESIGN will premiere on Tuesday, January 3, 9:00 - 10:00 p.m., ET. The show follows Jane Quimby (Erica Dasher), a quirky teen with an eclectic chic fashion sense who lands a job at a hip fashion house when they mistake her for an adult.

Torn between her love of fashion and the need to finish high school, Jane conceals her true age to assist the demanding but talented Gray Chandler Murray (Andie MacDowell), who travels the world in search of the next big style trend. Jane quickly learns that working for a successful executive in the cutthroat world of fashion brings on adversaries like India Jourdain (India De Beaufort), an associate designer and Gray's former assistant who is now gunning for Gray's job. Fortunately Jane has the charming and handsome senior designer, Jeremy Jones (Rowly Dennis) on her side -- and peaking her interest -- although she still harbors feelings for long-time crush Nick Fadden (Matthew Atkinson) at school.

Jane's best friend, Billy Nutter (Nicholas Roux), helps Jane keep up appearances as she toggles between two lives, and loyally guards her secret from her older brother, Ben (David Rogers). However, Billy has a secret of his own, hiding a relationship with Jane's high school nemesis, Lulu Pope (Megan Tandy). Even with Billy's support, will Jane's ruse be a passing fad, or will she be able to fashion a career in the design business?
