Fox and Henry Moss both had small factories making fashion garments. They met on a cruise and, inspired by the Lord John boutique on Carnaby Street, decided to open a girls and women's boutique on the same street. For the publicity they were put in touch with Michael Freedland who had the idea of putting live models in the windows, changing outfits.
Moss left Lady Jane in the late 1960s. Henry Moss started The London Mob, Sweet Fanny Adams, Pussy Galore and Henry Moss of London (all boutiques, we think). He became president of the Carnaby Street Trading Association. In 2016 he was is a restaurateur, with Munchkins restaurant in Great Russell Street.
Harry Fox continued with the original Lady Jane, and also opened Lady Jane Again, Lady Jane's Birdcage and Sir Harry, a menswear shop, all in Carnaby Street, until the early 1980s. Fox died before October 2019.
