Halle Berry to launch lingerie line at Target

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 24 (UPI) -- Halle Berry is going into the underwear business.

According to the LA Times, the 48-year-old actress is relaunching French underwear line Scandale and has partnered with retailer Target to sell the pieces in the U.S.

"I fell in love with Scandale while I was in Paris, because the brand reminded me of the city itself -- beautiful and inspiring," the actress said in a news release. "I am excited for the U.S. debut to be at Target and to launch the brand globally in 2015. I look forward to giving more women the chance to enjoy what European women have come to love for more than eight decades."

Berry's brand, Scandale Paris, was created in collaboration with Lingerie manufacturer Erik Ryd to launch the brand in the U.S. The 10-piece collection will be available on selected Target locations as of Oct. 27 and items will range in price from from $7 to $18.

News of the Extant actress' venture into the lingerie business follows the announcement that German model Heidi Klum will partner with Benson for a new underwear line and comes months after singer Brintey Spears launched her own lingerie collection, The Intimate Britney Spears.
