JT Takes A Style Step Forward With William Rast’s 2009 Spring Collection

Style.com has covered the new Spring collection of JT’s William Rast clothing line in their Style Notes section, placing it in the list of lines that are “Fit to Print.” Along side JT’s new emerging title as style icon stands Cushnie et Ochs, Joseph Altuzarra, and TV socialites Blake Lively along with her female co-stars. Here’s what they said of JT’s pieces:

Most stage-to-street trends are regrettable: Hammer pants come to mind. But sometimes a savvy pop star manages to capitalize on his or her look with a legit fashion line. Take Gwen Stefani, whose rock/ska/rasta mash-up, L.A.M.B., grosses close to $100 million annually. Now, Justin Timberlake and Trace Ayala, who were childhood pals in Tennessee, are hoping for similar success with William Rast, a denim collection that’s been expanded to include men’s and women’s ranges designed by Johan and Marcella Lindeberg. Expect Southern staples with a Hollywood edge. As long as there aren’t any “Frankie Say Relax” shirts, we’re happy.
