Jane Lu

In 2010, Jane Lu set out to disrupt the fashion and retail industry with the start of fashion label, Showpo. Through being disruptive in the retail space and capitalising on the rise of social media, Jane’s early adoption of content marketing took Showpo from a garage start-up, to a business that has global reach in a highly competitive market. Jane is a regular keynote speaker for some of the world’s biggest brands and has fronted stages for audiences internationally. The former KPMG cadet and EY analyst founded online fashion hub Showpo when she was A$60,000 in debt.  In 2017, Lu debuted on the Australian Financial Review Young Rich list with an estimated wealth of A$32 million. 

Showpo is Australia’s leading global fashion company focused on the next generation of young women. Showpo started in Sydney with a laptop and two shelves and is now a global fashion empire shipping to more than 100 countries, with over 4 million followers across social. 

In 2020, Showpo  launched a new eCommerce platform, enabling it to enhance the shopping experience and accelerate growth in new markets. The Sydney-based,  online retailer is one of Australia's fastest growing fashion retailers and has amassed a reach of over four million users across social media platforms.
