JT Wins the Fashion Oracle Award

A special congrats to JT, who won Lord & Taylor's "Fashion Oracle Award" at last night's Fashion Group International's Night of The Stars Gala in recognition for his clothing line, William Rast!

Co-founded by Justin and his close friend, Trace Ayala, William Rast delivers edgy and tailored ready-to-wear premium denim and accesories for both men and women.

Justin's introduction was kicked off by an incredible rendition of "Suit & Tie" (with just a little hint of "Like I Love You") by singer song-writer (and William Rast spokesperson) Tori Kelly. (Justin later joked that she sang it better than he ever could have!)

Liz Rodbell, (middle) President of Hudson's Bay Company, and Milan-based designer Neil Barrett (right) presented the award to Justin.

Speaking about his friend and partner Trace Ayla, "We really wanted to start William Rast from the ground up... We named it after our grandfathers and so it is very special to us, and it's just crazy to be here."
