Justin Timberlake has turned a very successful designer recently. His latest collection for William Rast has received huge praise and was called “1,000 per cent more sophisticated” than the last.
Justin confessed that his fashion inspiration is a world-known rock-star – Sir Mick Jagger. He says lots of his designs are based on the Rolling Stones’ legendary style.
He told MTV:
There is blatant correlation between music and fashion. I think since the beginning of rock ‘n’ roll, people have wanted to dress like rock stars. I still find old Mick Jagger jackets that I wish I could pull out of his closet or something. Of course, they wouldn’t fit me. Very tight.”
Justin’s Autumn/Winter 2010/2011 collection was unveiled during New York Fashion Week on Tuesday (February 16).

New York Fashion Week is over already but we aren’t going to stop writing about those fabulous collections that were unveiled during it. Today we will speak about William Rast range for Autumn/Winter 20101/2011 that has received lots of praise from fashion experts and jouranalists.
Discussing this line is interesting for one more reason – it has been created by Justin Timberlake, idol for girls all over the world, in collaboration with Trace Ayala. Besides, the line includes as many trends as one can ever do.
The list of hottest trends featured in WR collection includes: army green fatigue jackets and cargo pants, black leather paired with gray sweatshirts, navajo-blanket coats, nylon flight jackets, and raccoon tails clipped to belt loops. So many for one range! Fantastic job, guys!
Fewer denim items were seen on the runway this time that means the label isn’t planning to focus on that only, like it happenned last season. The strongest accesnt this time was given to leather: in pants, jackets, tops, shoes, vests, shorts, belts, etc.
Justin says it’s Mick Jagger’s style that inspired him.

Charity is a simple way to help people in need. It’s great if you do it not for PR but because you are truly compassionate and generous.
A group of world-famous designers were asked to help raise money for a charity organisation that deals with homeless families and women who lost everything but want to get back on their feet.
The task was easy and creative – just right for a designer – to decorate small papier-mâché houses which would later be sold on auction.
Among those who found time and desire to help were Oscar de la Renta, Issak Mizrahi, Diane von Furstenberg, Vera Wang, Donna Karan, Victoria and David Beckham, Justin Timberlake and lots of other celebrities who had hardly ever dealt with designing but wanted to do something useful for people who suffer.
The houses that we got in the result were pretty little things – colorful and spirited – which might go under a Christmas tree.
Vera Wang’s house was the most delicate and exquisite. The designer decorated it with lace, crystals, and flowers. Very nice to look at!
Isaac Mizrahi made the cutest house. He used a lot of pink and sparkle.
Oscar de la Renta’s house is simple but sophisiticated just like his clothes – nothing looks out of place.

Many respected designers have had fun artistically playing with Woodstock style for decades.
Now young designers were given a chance to try themselves and show us their vision of the Nineties grunge and the era’s fringe, flowers, beads and bell bottoms.
The sketches that came out as a result were absolutely different proving once again that everyone sees and feels the time in his own way.
See and enjoy the pictures!

Justin Timberlake says he likes women wearing feminine clothes.
The women in Los Angeles dress like boys. Here in London, you see a lot more of that tailored, sharp look that New York women have.”
Trace Ayala, his William Rast design partner, added:
He’s right. British girls dress pretty sharp – in America people tend to wear their clothes looser.”
The ‘SexyBack’ singer, whose new collection was launched in London store Selfridges on June 29th, says he prefers a smarter look and doesn’t like it when ladies wear loose, casual clothing.
Besides, he reveals he dislikes an unnatural look:
Spray tans are the worst and women in velour trousers.”

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.

Jessica Biel covers Allure June 2009.
She showed up dressed head-to-toe in William Rast by Justin Timberlake’s fashion line—including a pair of fringed angle boots.
Some quotes:
I just want an opportunity,” she says. “If you don’t like the audition, then don’t hire me. But if you don’t even want to see me – that’s hurtful.” Biel adds that her good looks often are a drawback when it comes to casting. “It really is a problem,” she says. “I have to be blunt.”
The actress wears a jumpsuit by Derek Lam with earrings, belt, and a bracelet by Louis Vuitton; brass and Lucite bangles by Alexis Bittar; and a glass bangle by Hilary London.
These are the exact ones they had at the show in New York,” she said. “They sent me a pair the models wore, because they hadn’t been produced yet, but I loved them so much.”
Biel is also hotly cognizant of her body. For a time, she insisted a no-nudity stipulation in her agreements – and would also have definitive word on her body double.
That was a weird experience,” she says. “I tried to get breasts that I thought were most similar to mine. I mean, we’re not dealing with a whole lot going on here. I didn’t want anyone who was ridiculously big. But a little smaller and perkier in the butt? Okay, I did want that.”
