Jackson turns to fashion

Janet Jackson has teamed up with Australian fashion designer Bruno Sciavo to launch a lingerie collection.Pleasure Principle, inspired by the star's 1987 song, will be available in the US from November before heading to Australia, Japan and Europe.

The singer said: "The collection has been carefully created with some of the finest laces from around the world.

"You will see a lot of satin and lace combined and rich colors such as burgundy and beige, silver and peach as well as your classic black and white. It makes you feel incredible and offers variety as diverse as the women who will wear it."

Schiavi added: "Janet and I wanted to create a collection that empowers women and that makes women feel sexy, flirtatious and provocative. We wanted to make sure we captured the essence of all Janet's favorite colours, laces and making sure that we stay true to who she is and what she loves."

The first collection of Pleasure Principle offers 14 designs and the pair plan to extend their range beyond lingerie in 2009.
