William Rast

Fresh from the show last night that included celebrities such as Paris and Nikki Hilton, Anna Wintour and JC Chavez I have to admit I am not impressed. Justin Timberlake and his William Rast team should stick to things they do well. Fashion certainly is not one of them. Their Fall/Winter 2009 Collection looked much like the Spring 2009 Collection but in a different venue. Roseland Ballroom was swapped out for the tents. Maybe shows like this in the tents are a comment on our current economic status?

The rock music was beating and the cameras were clicking as people took their seats. The lights dimmed and a collection came down the runway that looked as if it was pulled from an 80’s warehouse. I realize that vibe is back but the overly bedazzled, patched jeans and motorcycle jackets were just not on cue. Elongated shirts over jeans made the gentlemen look as if they had skirts on. The blazers were tailored well but looked a bit to rough for someone to actually wear. The women’s ultra mini high waisted skirts are not what I would have expected. They were far to short and the upside down sweetheart lines were not done well. The designs reminded me of people you see hoping out off their motorcycles or out of big rigs at truck stops. Maybe next year this team will come up with something worth adding to your wardrobe.
