  • Story Text: Singer, actor, and now fashion designer Justin Timberlake unveiled his 2007 Spring line for William Rast to a host of A-list celebrity friends during LA Fashion Week in Los Angeles, California on Tuesday (October 17).
    Among the people in attendance included Timberlake's long-time girlfriend Cameron Diaz , Paris and Nicky Hilton, Rapper Eve, Wilmer Valderramma, Nick Carter, and celebrity Stylist Rachel Zoe.
    "Well I think everything he does he gives all of himself to I admire that so much so usually everything he does he produces it pretty well. (Reporter: Do you model the jeans for him?) It took me a while to get a pair myself. I was like hey what's going on? I need some jeans," Diaz told Reuters on the arrivals line.
    Inspired by their Tennessee roots, Trace Ayala and Justin Timberlake created the name William Rast for the line in homage to their families. "William" is the first name of Timberlake's grandfather and "Rast" is the last name of Ayala's.
    "This is something comes so natural to them because Trace (Ayala Justin Timberlake's partner) is such a fashion maven, like he really is, he loves fashion. He has always been a part of that so it is kind of a connection the two of them (Ayala and Timberlake) have is clothing. So it's been really fun to watch them do this together because they really are connected in that way and they have made a great line I am really happy for them," said Diaz, sporting a gold Christian Dior top and jeans by her beau.
    William Rast, which launched in November 2005, is currently available at Bloomingdale's, Saks Fifth Avenue, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, and high-end boutiques such as Fred Segal and Atrium.
    "Well I think he is a talented performer and he has got a new thing he is doing and its risky and it's important to support that and I am anxious to see what he is up to. He is extremely creative I think he has always been very stylish so it will be fun to see what he is bringing out," said Grey's Anatomy actor Patrick Dempsey.
    "I mean I think it will work because of who he is. I think people, his whole persona. I think right now he came back in a huge way and I think it's working," rapper and fashion designer Eve said.
    Men and women danced down the runway in casual wear collections at the Spring 2007 William Rast collection titled Street Sexy at Social Hollywood.
    "Justin is one hundred percent involved from buttons to rivets to choosing the denim washes he is very involved. He is very meticulous. He is a great partner to have," said Danny Guez, a William Rast partner. Timberlake is a busy man at the moment. His "SexyBack" single notched a seventh week atop the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, while his new tune, "My Love," rose three to No. 13. The 25-year-old singer is planning to spend a good part of the next year on an arena tour for "FutureSex/LoveShow" with his labelmate Pink, who will have just wrapped up a several-months-long European tour herself.
    The former *NSYNC bandmember's "FutureSex/LoveShow" kicks off January 8 in San Diego and hits 34 cities before it concludes on March 29 in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
    "I think musicians are just naturally innately creative people. So I think anything they want to use to sort of channel their creative vision is generally a successful thing. I think Justin is great at everything he does. I mean have we ever seen him not good at something?" Fashion Stylist to Lindsay Lohan and Nicole Richie, Rachel Zoe, wearing a Alberta Ferretti dress and Versace boots, said.
