Jane Eyre once again linked to fashion design. The Spring collection of The Hellers has some Eyre skirts, among other creations. According to Liebermarlene:
Tel Aviv-based label The Hellers' spring collection was inspired by the idea of Jane Eyre living in the “wild Aeolian Isles of Sicily,” which in iteslf is enough for me to love it. (...)
As much as I loved Jane Eyre, it never really occurred to dress like her.  The Victorian era was never my favorite as far as clothes went—too many corsets, too much fabric, way too dreary. But The Hellers’ updated, world-traveling version of Jane is something I can get on board with.

The Hellers Spring Summer 2012 line channels the literary vision of sisters Dania and Yoram Heller. Set in Tel Aviv and Los Angeles, the two aim to infuse their clothing lines with intelligence and a keen sense of style. This ‘Wild Child of the Aeolian Isles’ set meets these high standards.
The pieces and general attitude of the Wild Child of the Aeolian Isles were inspired by Brontë’s Jane Eyre. Or, more specifically, by producer Cary Fukunaga’s 2011 film-based account of the story.
Danis became enamored with the narratives independent disposition, a rarity in the controlled and commercialized fashion industry. The Hellers have replicated that very disposition in their collection with unruly prints, glossy finishes and stand out cuts.
