R&B singer Ciara signed with modeling agency Wilhelmina and is in talks to launch her own clothing line.

Fresh from print modeling stint for Jay-Z’s Rocawear line, Ciara signed a contract with the modeling agency to book even more print gigs.

Wilhelmina will focus on casting the artist in both clothing and fragrance campaigns, according to the singer.

Ciara says:

“Modeling has always been one of my aspirations. But I was insecure about my height. I thought I was 5’7″ but I just found out that I’m 5’8″ so I’m really excited about that.”

Additionally, the singer is in talks with discount department store, Steve & Barry’s, to create an affordable clothing line that incorporates her personal style.

Ciara says on the clothing line:

“I have a couple of cool things that I’m working on,The coolest thing about Steve & Barry’s is they cater to everyday people. I won’t say that my line will be like theirs, I want to stay true to who I am, but most importantly it has to be affordable.”

In the meantime, Ciara continues to work on her upcoming third album, “Fantasy Ride,” set for release in September via Jive.
