Today, her pieces are an international sensation gracing the pages of magazines such as Vogue and sold in stores such as Liberty, Hyper-Hyper, Harrods in London, Saks and Patricia Field in New York.

Also, for more than a decade, she collaborated with the legendary Vivienne Westwood, a pioneer in advocating climate justice through fashion. During that period, she orchestrated iconic runway presentations and created unique items for the activist's Gold and Red collections. According to several industry critics, her focus on textile prints, accessories and footwear has left an indelible mark on Westwood's own legacy.

Drawing on her extensive experience, Jane Francis has developed numerous short undergraduate and postgraduate programs related to the creation of accessories and footwear. In 2012, she co-wrote and developed the groundbreaking BA (Hons) Jewellery Fashion course, further cementing her reputation as an influential figure in education and the fashion industry. She has also lectured extensively around the world, including in places such as Moscow, Mexico City and Istanbul.
