Jackson 5 To Release Clothing Line

November 8, 2010
Jackson 5 To Release Clothing LineThe remaining members of Jackson 5 are to release a clothing line inspired by their stage costumes, it’s been announced.

Jermaine, Jackie, Tito, Marlon and Randy Jackson - along with the estate of Michael Jackson - have all worked on the range.

J5 Collection will also include replicas of the leather jackets Michael wore in the videos for ‘Thriller’ and ‘Beat It’.

There are also plans to release a footwear and eyewear collection.

Jackie Jackson told WWD: "I've been wanting to do this for a long time. I've seen other friends be successful with their lines, like Puffy with Sean John,"

"I've been in this business for a long time and our name is known around the world."

The J5 Collection will be available on line as well as Urban Outfitters stores. Clothes start at around £20 and range up to £375 for a jacket.
