From porn to clothes: Jenna does fashion

Jenna Jameson began her career as a teenage stripper (err, exotic dancer), then moved on to porn (err, adult movies), then only doing female-on-female porn, then directing porn, then becoming a huge figure in pop culture, then pissing Bill O’Reilly off, then writing a book, “How to Make Love Like a Porn Star,” and now, like anyone else with a little bit of fame and a name to market and stretch as far as a tacky cotton jersey mini dress, will be making a clothing line. New York Magazine reports in a short front-of-the-book article, How to Design Clothes Like a Porn Star, that Jameson was researching during New York fashion week for a fashion line that she is developing:

Specifically, she was researching Badgley Mischka, BCBG, Marc Jacobs, Luca Luca, and Heatherette: “All the good ones. I want to be edgy, and I want to cater to the everyday girl.” She got famous performing naked, but Jameson’s desire to produce “clothes people can wear” comes from her own experience. “I have pretty much everything tailored because I wear a size zero but I’m like a size 10 in the chest.” The line will start off with jeans and launch within the next year.

Okay, so who exactly is being targeted? Meaning, who are they thinking will buy her clothing. Just because she is a woman, who is famous, does not make it necessarily okay for her to fall on fashion as a means to make money. Her name is not very credible and she has no credentials, especially since most of her acclaim consists of her naked.

While I am skeptical of the success that she will have with a ready-to-wear line, like many others I have reported on (What is Pepsi doing with denim? & Another ridiculous gimmick venturing into fashion), I do believe that if she ventured into a more sensual segment, like lingerie, she possibly could be very successful. But in the end, she still has her own podcast, ringtone, 3D game: Virtually Jenna, and her own doll, which she can fall back on.
