Lopez launched a clothing line in 2003. Named JLO by Jennifer Lopez,
the line included different types of clothing for young women, including jeans,
T-shirts, coats, belts, purses, and lingerie, a jewelry line, and an accessory line
that includes hats, gloves, and scarves. Lopez participated in the Louis Vuitton Winter 2003 campaign.
In 2005, she launched a new clothing line called Sweetface. In late 2007, Lopez retired JLO by Jennifer Lopez and launched a new juniors'
line called JustSweet. Her fashion lines have featured at many New York Fashion Week events.
Lopez's frequent use of animal fur in her clothing lines and personal wardrobe has brought the scorn of people concerned with animal rights. At the Los Angeles premiere of Monster-in-Law, more than one hundred protesters from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) held a demonstration to highlight their concerns. |
