Fashion Week: JT's redneck inspired runway show
Filed under: CELEBRITY STYLE, Celebrities with Style, Fashion Week, Fashion, Celebrity, Runway Report
What do you get when Justin Timberlake tries to ditch his pop star persona and get back to his roots? A runway at Fashion Week decked out to look like a rustic Tennessee hunting cabin. We kid you not, the ex-NSYNC heartthrob and his co-founder Trace Ayala put on a good ol' fashion hoedown complete with mounted deer head and buckets of Budweiser to unveil William Rast's 2009 Spring collection. Just to make it clear, when we refer to the show as 'redneck inspired' we don't mean that as an insult. Quite the opposite, it's kind of refreshing to see someone bring the highly exotic styles of rural Americana to the runway -- or to see someone try to serve Anna Wintour a Budweiser longneck from a bucket.
The styles could probably best described as rural chic, with a focus on William Rast's specialty: denim. American flags, bandit scarfs, cutoffs, and camo jackets were a few of the things that harkened back to old Tennessee -- where Justin claims to have drawn some of his inspiration. Do you think it worked?

I was lucky to be at Luca Luca's runway show this week. Front row I must say. And they have a new designer, Raul. The collection was very fresh and new . Almost all of it white silk,very flowy. Vey Couture.

Justin, I got one word for you about the collection: NO!
Lynda, I don't think anyone else really cares what show you saw. *roll eyes*
