Blackglama today announced the launch of a new collection of clothing co-designed by Janet.

The line of luxe fur outerwear and accessories will debut in stores in later this month.

“The art of fashion is one of my great passions,” said Janet.  ”I’ve worked for years to bring a collection into the world.  Partnering with Blackglama is very exciting.”

The collection features 15 pieces including coats, jackets, vests, scarves, gloves and other accessories. All contain both classic and contemporary elements and use Blackglama mink in conjunction with other materials such as leather.

“When we began preparation for the second Blackglama campaign, Janet became very involved in the design process. The result was an amazing collection of Blackglama garments and accessories that reflect Janet’s tremendous sense of style and fashion,” said Mike McCrea, VP of Marketing for Blackglama. “This is one of the most visually appealing and innovative Blackglama collections I have seen.”

The line is priced for the luxury market and will retail from November in the Fur Salon at select Saks Fifth Avenue and the Maximilian Fur Salon at select Bloomingdales.

Further photos from Janet’s shoot for fashion company Blackglama have been released.

Two new shots have been posted on the company’s website.

Janet has been unveiled as the face of Blackglama for a second year running.

New photos have been published in the September issue of W Magazine. The shoot was done whilst Janet was in Milan recently.

Janet represents the brand’s iconic “What Becomes a Legend Most?” campaign which was crafted under the creative direction of Blackglama’s advertising agency Laspata DeCaro and was photographed by Rocco Laspata.

“It’s a very different vibe, this go around” says Creative Director Charles DeCaro of this year’s shoot. “There’s many narratives in Janet. This was that edgier, kind of cooler, modern, and rock-n-roll.”

Since the campaign’s inception four decades ago, Blackglama legends have included Sophia Loren, Diana Ross, Audrey Hepburn, Lauren Bacall, Elizabeth Taylor, and Liza Minnelli.
