Julien, 46, first met Janette when he competed on Strictly back in 2013.
They stayed friends and Julien even designed the dance professional’s stunning wedding gown for her 2017 marriage to fellow Strictly star Aljaz Skorjanec, 31.
‘When I was looking for inspiration for my new fashion range I couldn’t think of anyone more perfect than Janette,’ said Julien. ‘It has been fabulous to work with her again.’
The launch of the latest collection for Freemans brand includes TV advertising premiering on Saturday, 13 March.

Janette’s shoot comes after she appeared on Loose Women last month and talked about her hopes of having a baby with husband Aljaz Skorjanec ‘when the time is right’.
The Strictly admitted to having concerns over losing half their household income while she was pregnant and on maternity leave.
Speaking candidly on the topic, Janette said: ‘To be honest, I’ve always looked forward to becoming a mother.

‘I think what Aljaz and I discovered in the first lockdown is how much we really are a team. When we decide to have children in the future, we will be more than ready.
‘For anyone considering to become parents, the most important thing is mom and dad have this unity.
‘I think Aljaz will be the most incredible dad and yeah, when the time is right we will be more than ready.’

Sharing how she’d love to return to the show after having a child, Janette went on: ‘Hopefully I can dance to the last second and I can pop right back into dancing.
‘It is a scary choice because for me and Aljaz, we are a team when it comes to everything.
‘If I fall pregnant, I would want to spend time with my baby and that’s the scary point, then we lose 50 per cent of the household income coming in because we do it all together, that’s the only bit that’s tricky.
‘Those nine months to a year that we just don’t know what’s going to happen.’
