Pop star Michael Jackson is all set to launch his own men''s clothing line for Wakita in Japan.

A spokesman for Wakita company explains, "There is a growing popularity among young men in Japan for dark suits. Jackson, who has a huge following here, fits that rising fashion image."

Jackson is not the first pop star to launch his own clothing range. US rap star Puff Diddy, who is well-known for his impeccable dress sense, has already made a rather successful entry into the fashion world.
