Michael Jackson is expected to launch a clothing line for the Japanese company Wakita . A spokesperson for Wakita explains: "In Japan, there is a growing popularity for dark-colored clothes. Jackson, who has many fans here, is exactly right as a fashion example." Michael is not the first music star to take such an action. The American rap music star P. Diddy , who is also known for his flawless clothing style, has previously had a fairly successful entry into the global fashion market.
