Jennifer Lopez Takes Fashion Line to Mexico
U.S. singer, actress and businesswoman Jennifer Lopez took her fashion line outside the United States for the first time on Monday, launching in Mexico.
Speaking in Spanish, the star -- a New Yorker whose parents are from Puerto Rico -- said she wanted to make her designs affordable to low-income women who want some glamour in their lives.
"I think that, coming from the Bronx, I have a good urban mix," Lopez, 45, said at a news conference, wearing a black shirt and pants ensemble with a white jacket. "I'm more interested in doing (designs for working people) instead of luxury."
She inaugurated a store in the capital in cooperation with Mexican retail chain Coppel. Her line -- which includes clothing, accessories and suitcases -- will be available in more than 1,000 stores in Mexico.
