Justin Designs For The Women He Likes

Justin likes women who are sexy without trying . . . got it, ladies? He sat down with Vogue UK to discuss how he chooses designs for the women’s collection of William Rast.

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.”
