Jedward are to launch their own fashion label, it has been revealed.

The Planet Jedward duo's clothing line, called Pop Icons, will be based on the style of artists like Michael Jackson and Freddie Mercury, reports The Sun.

Edward Grimes, 18, said: "Fashion is our big passion and our collection will look hot on the catwalk.

"We love the jackets worn by Michael Jackson and Freddie Mercury and think everybody will love to wear stuff like that. Our clothes will have lots of bold colours and cool patterns."

On the possibility of modelling their own collection, Grimes added: "We're signed to Next Models so we have experience. We know how to pose and walk, plus we've worked with some big-name photographers."

However, manager Louis Walsh is said to be rushing the release of the clothing line before the twins' fame fizzles out.

A source told the paper: "The boys' 15 minutes of fame are almost up so Louis will try and bring the clothes out quickly.

"The new series of The X Factor starts later this month - which is bound to produce another novelty act. Jedward will just be another forgotten reality TV reject."
