William Rast Designers to Launch New Line

William Rast designers Johan and Marcella Lindeberg are reported to start their own fashion label.

The duo became world famous when they were hired by William Rast founder Justin Timberlake to work on the label three seasons ago.

And now they have announced they are setting up their own high-end clothing range called Paris68.

The designs are to hit the shelves in autumn 2010. The range will include both womenswear and menswear.

Female line will consist of handmade knitwear, dresses and leather jackets.

Menswear collection will include high-end denim, made-to-measure suits, tailoring and leather jackets.

This line will not be the first to have been launched by Johan. He had founded the J. Lindeberg fashion house but later had to quit developing his former label to be able to focus on his new project.

The Swedish designer told that since the label was purchased by investment firm Proventus in 2007 he stopped working with it.

And another piece of good news – the designing couple will continue collaborating with Justin Timberlake to create William Rast collections.
