For Spring, the William Rast label’s “sexy tomboy with a lot of class” look has a slightly softer edge: a little less studding and a lot more bondage lacing, and a little less black and a lot more color. The faded patchwork jeans have been replaced with denim leggings, and there were plenty of the cropped leather jackets that have been popular with the trendsetting catwalk crew these last couple of seasons. In other words, Timberlake and co. are giving their customers exactly what they want. And here’s another bit of good news for their followers: The entry-level price point is about 10 percent lower this season than last.

SNEAK PEEK into WR Fall 2010 Collection

If designers were graded on their ability to hit as many trends as possible in a single runway show, Justin Timberlake and Trace Ayala would have scored highest marks. Army green fatigue jackets and cargo pants? Check. Black leather paired with gray sweatshirts? Check. Navajo-blanket coats, nylon flight jackets, and raccoon tails clipped to belt loops? Check, check, and check. What the William Rast collection lacked in a singular theme (or deeper message), it made up for with a slick patina and groovy threads that could have been nicked directly from the models’ own closets.

Denim was less of a focus this season, suggesting the designers are aiming to expand their reach. The selection of leather was the strongest draw, particularly the quilted moto vests, leggings, and a twill and leather combo jacket. This isn’t “important” fashion, but it passes the all-important cool test with flying colors.
