What William Rast looks for in a girl
Also, read below a little interview done by Vogue U.K, which will be of a great interest for the girls. Justin reveals what he looks for in a girl when creating the William Rast designs for them:
MILLIONS of girls around the world would ask Justin Timberlake the same question if confronted with the opportunity to chat with the musician-cum-designer – what do you look for in a girl – or rather in designing for a girl? And Timberlake – who has previously named girlfriend Jessica Biel as his muse for the William Rast womenswear collection – was happy to reveal his type of woman.
“The collection is really for the kind of girls we like,” a softly spoken Timberlake told VOGUE.COM yesterday. “When creating the collection we were thinking of girls like Carré Otis, Debbie Harry; a real sexy tomboy girl who looks good without trying.”
Last night saw the grand unveiling of Timberlake, and co-founder and best friend Trace Ayala’s, William Rast label in London’s Selfridges. Despite the label’s current global expansion, and critically-acclaimed New York Fashion Week show, the designers confess they are still finding their feet.
“It is a young label, for sure,” Ayala admitted. “We’re still creating collections to establish the William Rast DNA. But honestly, I think we came along at exactly the right time; if we had launched any later or any earlier we would have been dead. As it is we are young enough that we are a fresh brand for suppliers, but established enough that they can trust us in this economy. We’ve been very lucky.”
“I don’t really think of myself as a singer more than an actor, or an entertainer more than a designer,” Timberlake – who confessed he is “extremely happy” with the way things are progressing for the brand so far – added. “The collection is an extension of what I do as an artist.”
William Rast is now available at Selfridges.
