JANET JACKSON LINGERIE COLLECTION LAUNCH


Janet Jackson has been talking about designing a lingerie line for some weeks now. She has just unveiled her new line, Pleasure Principle, which will hit mass retailers in November. After making its debut in the USA, the label will arrive in Australia, Japan and Europe. The trendsetting diva teamed up with Australian designer Bruno Schiavi for the project. The 18-piece line is named after the hit single from Jackson’s 1986 multiplatinum album “Control,” is designed to be comfortable for a range of sizes — 32A to 44G, and is crafted of mostly satin and lace.

"People have come to me with other ideas, but
lingerie is a passion for me, and just like music and acting, I can't do it unless I put 100% into it," Jackson, clad in a Roland Mouret dress and Christian Dior shoes, said at a press event to announce the collaboration. Jackson and Schiavi plan to expand beyond lingerie next year and are currently working on more lines.
