Johan Lindeberg and Justin Timberlake | Trace Ayala and Marcella Lindeberg
Another denim collection from William Rast, but this time there is no mistaking where they got the inspiration. Riccardo Tisci's Spring 2009 collection was such a hit (they say people almost knocked over a dividing wall to congratulate him backstage) that it was bound to ripple through the fashion world. A season later the William Rast collection gives the haute couture cowboy a little more street cred. Studs, fringe. zippers, and feathers gave the look a more carefree vibe in contrast to Tisci's razor sharp construction. Dirtier and well worn, the design team at William Rast created some great pieces. The silver studded leather jacket, feather-shouldered cape, and the muscle tank with razor shoulders are of the moment, but not obnoxious - a difficult balance to pull off. In spite of all the looks walking down the runway, Johan and Marcella Lindeberg stole the show for me: great interpretations of their collection with just a little polish.
