JANET WEAR: Singer, songwriter, actress, dancer, record producer and now designer, Janet Jackson is to launch her own lingerie line before the end of the year.

LIZ'S NEW LOOK: It's all very hush-hush, but Liz Claiborne is working on a new logo and ad campaign for the spring launch of Liz Claiborne-brand women's clothing under creative director Isaac Mizrahi. Nothing has been approved yet, according to a source within the company, and officials declined to comment. The design overhaul of the ailing flagship brand has taken on a top-secret aura even within Claiborne, where samples and images of the Mizrahi product are restricted to those on a need-to-know basis, the source said. Mizrahi was hired in January to revitalize all women's categories of the Liz Claiborne brand with fashion zing.

"He is an excellent manager, essential to make Enit work, and has a deep knowledge of international markets," said Michela Brambilla, undersecretary for tourism in the fourth Silvio Berlusconi government, who tapped Marzotto.
