23 August 2008 : Janet On Access Hollywood
 
On Friday, Access Hollywood’s Nancy O’Dell has the exclusive broadcast interview with Janet Jackson as the singer-songwriter-actress-dancer-record producer and now — designer — announces her partnership with Australian fashion designer Bruno Schiavi.
On the eve of her world tour in support of her recent “Discipline” album, Jackson has added designer to her impressive list of talents with the launch of Pleasure Principle. The line will be Jackson and Schiavi’s first domestic lingerie collection with plans to have product in stores as early as November 2008 across America, with Australia, Japan and Europe to follow.
“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,” Jackson reveals. ”It makes you feel incredible and offers variety as diverse as the women who will wear it.”
Jackson’s 1987 global hit “Pleasure Principle,” which was the sixth single released from the “Control” album inspired the brand name. Described by the industry as an independent woman’s anthem about love – Pleasure Principle seems a fitting link from Janet’s musical emancipation 21 years ago to her expansion into a fashion designer for modern women.
“Janet and I wanted to create a collection that empowers women and that makes women feel sexy, flirtatious and provocative,” Schiavi said.
The first collection of Pleasure Principle offers 14 designs across a combination of bra styles from balconettes, demi cups to full coverage. Sizes will range from 32A to 44G.
Nancy O’Dell has more with Janet this Friday on Access Hollywood and AccessHollywood.com

20 August 2008 : Janet Jackson launches Pleasure Principle lingerie line!!
Janet’s latest lingerie line will be called Pleasure Principle and released in stores by the end of the year or early 2009. Co-designed with Australian lingerie designer Bruno Schiavi, they will come in a range of sizes: 32A to 44G.

The stores that will carry the line in the U.S. are yet to be revealed with plans for it to follow into European, Australian and Asian stores in the future.

There are also plans for Janet to expand into other clothing lines in the future.

Janet Jackson’s latest release isn’t from this year’s “Discipline” album — it’s her lingerie line, Pleasure Principle.

The legendary hip-hop and R&B diva teamed with Bruno Schiavi, the Australian lingerie designer behind Dr. Rey’s Shapewear line (named for “Dr. 90210” fixture Dr. Robert Rey), for her debut fashion duet. 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.

Items will be manufactured in China and will be in department stores by late this year or early 2009. Jackson and Schiavi are currently in negotiations with major chains to carry the line; U.S. stores will be revealed in coming months, with releases in Australia, Japan and Europe to follow.

Jackson said the combination of beauty and comfort was the primary driver for the designs, though affordability was also paramount. Price points for the bra and underwear pieces are all under $40.

“I hate when you’ve had on a bra all day long and you just can’t wait to take it off — every woman has experienced that,” she said. “A lot of lingerie tends to leave those marks and be uncomfortable. This line is about detail, fit and comfort as well as beauty and making women feel sexy.


This is the first time in her long career that Jackson has undertaken an apparel line of any sort, though she is a fan of Alexander McQueen — she came out to help fete the opening of his Los Angeles store this spring — and Versace, whose show she attended in June. Her innerwear collection will be expanded in the future, plus Schiavi and Jackson are already at work on additional lines and collaborations, including plans to extend beyond lingerie in 2009.

“In order for me to do something I have to be very passionate about it or I won’t give it my all,” she said. “I had so much fun designing this.

Jackson, who next month is embarking on her first North American concert tour in seven years, said the line developed quickly, though since she’s preparing for her tour, and Schiavi splits time between Los Angeles and Australia, the pair had to squeeze in design sessions whenever they could — even during dance rehearsals or over the phone in the middle of the night.

“It’s 3 a.m., Janet’s in Paris and I’m in Australia and we’re on the phone talking about the line,” said Schiavi.

“I eat lunch at the same time every day, so we’d do a lot of work during my lunch time when Bruno would come down to rehearsals,” Jackson added.

The singer first unveiled plans for the line in June at the Versace men’s wear show in Milan in June, right around the time Jackson and longtime boyfriend, record producer Jermaine Dupri, said they’re planning to start a family after the latest tour ends.

Jackson said the lingerie line is “definitely” a good jumping-off point for future fashion endeavors.

“It’s something for every woman, and I truly do mean that. It makes you feel sexy,” she said.

And presumably there will be no wardrobe malfunctions.
