PLANO, Texas - (Oct. 10, 2017) - This holiday season, JCPenney will be treating shoppers to an exclusive, limited-edition capsule collection created with award-winning actress and style icon Tracee Ellis Ross.

"We are thrilled to bring Tracee's style to life with her first-ever retail collection," said Jodie Johnson, senior vice president of women's apparel, jewelry, footwear and handbags for JCPenney. "Known for her fresh, bold and confident looks, it's no wonder that women seek to emulate Tracee's style. Infused with her unique design aesthetic, the 'Tracee Ellis Ross for JCPenney' capsule collection offers an affordable selection of stylish and gift-able items that gives customers another reason to shop us this holiday season."
Ross, a Golden Globe award winner and star of ABC's Black-ish, is known for her spirit in style, health and beauty.

Today, whether it's her perfectly curated red carpet looks or chic street style, the fashion world - and her millions of social media followers - have taken notice.
"It's been my lifelong dream to design a line of clothing to utilize my love of style and clothes and to create a collection accessible to everyone that empowers women to embrace their joyful spirit. Each piece is timeless and versatile, classic but with flavor. They can be mixed and matched to create elegant looks for everybody and every body. JCPenney was a wonderful partner for me as I designed this affordable collection because I truly believe that looking good does not have to cost a lot," said Tracee Ellis Ross. "At the same time I thought why not expand the joy of getting dressed into a few beautiful home décor items? These pieces add a special touch when entertaining friends and loved ones this holiday season, giving some sparkle and joy."
