On August 6th, Jessica announced the launch of her own brand, BLANC, through her Weibo account. Her post included a photo of herself with several sunglasses and a message reading, “Finally, launching my own brand, BLANC www.blancgroup.com”. In another statement, Jessica revealed that BLANC has been her dream for a long time, and that she thought that developing a fashion line with new items and styles was exciting. The brand will have both a fashion and fragrance line, with the fragrance line to launch for the 2015 F/W season.
At the moment, the BLANC website that Jessica linked to in her post features a photo of Jessica, as well as a countdown to the brand launch and opening of pre-orders (note: due to heavy traffic, the website may currently be slow to open).
Jessica is the first member of Girls’ Generation to launch her own fashion line after endorsing multiple brands throughout her career, such as SOUP, STONEHENgE, banila co., and LI-NING.

Girl, idol job won’t be forever
Nothing lasts forever
The day retirement as group happen they will go with their own way
If snsd retire I think Jessica will still be in the entertainment industry but in fashion industry/world
Aside from her individual and group scedhule I think she is gonna be more busy with her business too, she has to manage and arrange, going overseas more isn’t because of group scedhule but meeting her co. worker discussing and all especially she is the CEO, and BLANC is local and global market, and also business clothing line ain’t simply
Her life right now is like starting from nothing to be a person
She is even is already rich and later she will become a millionaire and insanely richer, she is gonna be a success business woman
Her life right now and in the future totally BOSS JUNG and bodyguard everywhere
jessica is so interest in everything fashion, she is also already known for her fashion and fashionista, great fashion sense, has talent on design, rich, etc
besides that she also has pretty wide connection in outside, inside, behind the entertainment industry
she makes friend and socialize with people in all circle/field, i remember krystal said on magazine interview “unnie has a lot of people around her, she also has personal connection in world entertainment industry”
even her friends mostly arent idols but high class socialite people
she also has a lot of designer friends, stylist, business people etc
even the unnie(jessica friend) who she visited on j&k show the person isnt just ordinary people but she works in one of japan big entertainment agency
that’s all purely her own effort and process she works really hard, she is very very independent anyway so not suprised she could make it without any help by her parents, members, and SM, and she also has that personality that can direct and lead people that’s why she isnt becoming CEO for nothing
and that’s her own brand she creates, she is the owner, everything has to be permitted by her and has to be fitting with her taste, style, and fashion.
she takes part in all designing, cooperating, and production, etc and she has talent on design too so. she will not let her own brand goes to others, she isnt doing business only because she has money, but she is truly into it, interest in fashion and has talents on fashion, so she will put 19394939474049 effort into it, manage arrange lead direct people etc, and btw designer isnt always related to drawing. anyone can draw something but the direction is from jessica because it has to fit with her style, taste, and fashion. designer isnt always the one who drawing. designer hire drawer too but only to draw, but all the ideas are coming from herself
that’s jessica she always talks less and secretly have been doing it and this girl is very very very independent
Proud of Jessica, all the best too!
The pictures T.T
I hope the price is pretty too.
Was hoping to get a new sunglasses.
But anyways, I’m so proud of Jessica! :D
Jessica ! wow:)
This makes me soooo proud! I love seeing SoShi conquering their dreams! Jessi indeed always seemed to be the kind of girl who would launch her own brand and be the bad ass creative business woman we often see in fics haha She is amazing. I will definitely buy my own blanc…hopefully she will have male designs!
Congratulations Jessica :D! All the very Best for your new business venture.
Please consider releasing the range in the Singapore market; I’m pretty sure that it will do well, especially if the item prices are competitive to start with ;). Jessica Daebak! Jessica Jjang!
Cheers!
Kenneth.
‘BLANC’
hmmm…why do I find so fitting? Kekeke…
Anyway, wish you all the best Ms. Jung:D
It is important to remember that launching a new business in such a competitive market is really hard. Maybe Sica will working out a deal with SM to get publicity for her brand but she will definitely need all the help she can get. So tell your friends, tell your family, put a giant message board in the sky. Every bit of publicity will be crucial to a small starting business. Don’t assume that just because she started that she will succeed. I sincerely hope she will though.
Hollyyyyyy jsdgslkdf…
Great Job CEO Jung, I’m quite sure the others will follow expanding their $$$ pretty soon.
The Nine Billionaire Goddess rise. Hahahhaha
all the best
Jessica is truly jjang!! CEO Sica!!! Daebak
This is just so unexpected!!! Jessica is really….. active this year, lots of endorsing, magazine shoots and even a tv show!! She is like the second yoona this year! And now even becomes a CEO!! OMG…..
I hope other members might also have their own brand, or GG create their own brand hehe <3
Good luck jessica!!! Btw, jessica really looks gorjess in this shoot!! Really really beautiful, i like the concept she uses, daebak!! <3
Oh my gosh…this is really cool!! I’m sure Jessica’s brand will do well!! Especially with SONEs ;) omgggg Jessicaaaaa
Hear that? That’s the sound of my wallet screaming……
“EMPTY ME FOR THE GLORY OF GORJESS!”
That’s what mine is screaming at me.
CEO Sica-nim daebak!
Finally she has her own fashion brand.
Looking forward to more fashionable things coming from her
Wish you all the best in your business ventures, my ultimate kpop Bias, Gorjess!
yey for sica! I hope this company be very big in the future.. CEO Jung or Chairman Jung youre so cool!^^
CEO Jessica Jung ~♥ i feel so proud
Way to go Sica! girl setting herself up for her future. lovely when a person have more than 1 goal in mind and not just in same field. Sica is chic, so i’m guessing this brand is going to be not so cheap. Sones are crazy though when it comes to spending, so i believe Sica’s Blanc is going to do well. there are a whole lot of Maomao’s in China and a whole lot of GorJess Spazzers around the world. girlfriend is in good hands. the web design peeps gonna need some high tech core or what-ever-computer-part to keep the site flowing smoothly for the amount of Sones that’s gonna visit the site. goodluck Sica and hoping your brand be very successful.
thanks for keeping us updated quickly SSF ♥
I’m so happy for her. She finally gets her own fashion line, she would make a good fashion CEO. Jessica Jjang.
Jessica and Krystal were talking about sunglasses design in the last episode of Jessica & Krystal and all of that was for this. Cool. :)
daebak!!!!
i’m so proud of you CEO JUNG SOOYEON!!
CEO JUNG HWAITING!!!!
Is it HK-based? Keep hearing people talk about HK, China, and Tyler, but can’t figure out why.
That was based off of rumors last year that she was dating Tyler (which SM denied), won’t be surprised if Tyler was instead a business consultant friend for her instead.
I hope its Asian-based though. If it takes off in Korea I wonder if I can get distribution rights here? :D
First CEO in SNSD! CEO Jung! Heol!!! Daebak!
