William Rast Fall 2009 Collection; New York, USA ( September 11. 2008) Presented by Global Fashion News in High Definition. For Fall 2009, Justin Timberlakes and Trace Ayalas label William Rast mixed classic Americana with an infusion of Southern rocker-chic that explores the roots and history of American denim. Designers Johan and Marcella Lindeberg took inspiration from American films such as Thelma & Louise and Francis Ford Copollas Rumble Fish, creating a mashup of denim looks appropriate for a road trip down Route 66, with lots of rock-n-roll leather, hints of plaid and tough metal accents.

In menswear, layered looks dominated; combinations of distressed, black and acid washed jeans were paired with variations of the jean jacket over loose plaid button downs, all shown with a black long t-shirt that grazed the hips. A key look featured straight-leg distressed blue jeans with a long, black tee underneath a patched leather motorcycle jacket, gold zippers gleaming. Each mens look was accented with black leather gloves and black cowboy boots with long leather fringe. In a nice departure from the ubiquitous roughed-up ensembles, sharply tailored suit jackets were dispersed throughout the collection, adding polish and style.

The womens collection exuded the independent spirit of Thelma & Louise, with Western style shirts emphasizing the shoulders and narrowing down to either a miniskirt or skinny jeans in a variation of washes, some adorned with grommets and zippers lending a tough, no-nonsense edge. A slim fitting black leather motorcycle jacket adorned with silver studs on the shoulders and lapels was featured with a sheer black blouse tucked into patchwork skinny jeans. Each look complete with a William Rast Fall 2009 staple accessory, the long fringed cowboy boot.
