Furrier Blackglama announced the launch of the Janet Jackson Blackglama collection. The line of luxe fur outerwear and accessories will debut in stores in November.
"The art of fashion is one of my great passions,” said pop star Janet Jackson. “I’ve worked for years to bring a collection into the world. Partnering with Blackglama is very exciting."
The collection is comprised of 15 pieces ranging from coats, jackets, vests, scarves, gloves and other accessories. All contain both classic and contemporary elements and utilize 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 at Blackglama.
The line is priced for the luxury market and will retail at select Saks Fifth Avenue and Bloomingdales stores.
Blackglama mink is distributed exclusively through American Legend Cooperative based in Seattle, Washington. The company is careful to note that all Blackglama mink comes from ‘Origin Assured’ farms.
Animal rights watchdog group PETA may certainly react to this new collection and campaign, and Jackson’s promotion of the brand.
