JT to debut runway show tonight

LA Fashion Week is underway and fashionistas are scrambling to find tickets to the hottest runway of the week - William Rast. The baby of Justin Timberlake and his friend Trace Ayala, William Rast will debut its spring line in its first ever fashion show Tuesday night. Timberlake says they put the clothing line together because "it's always something we wanted to do together and never felt that there was anyone we could translate our vision to that would execute it properly." The name William Rast is in honor of both Timberlake and Ayala's grandfathers and their spring collection encompasses polo shirts, cord jackets, cashmere sweaters and jeans. "We want the brand to exist on its own," JT says. "That's why you haven't seen me doing any kind of print campaign." Ayala says Timberlake and the pair's friends - including Cameron Diaz and Jessica Alba - wear the clothes because they like them, and not just for its celebrity connection. Asked what he thinks makes the collection stand out, Timberlake says, "It's the most normal."
