Justin Randall Timberlake (born January 31, 1981) is an American actor, businessman and singer-songwriter. Born in Memphis, Tennessee, he appeared on the television shows Star Search and The New Mickey Mouse Club as a child. In the late 1990s, Timberlake rose to prominence as the lead singer and youngest member of the boy band 'N Sync, whose launch was financed by Lou Pearlman.  From 2007 through 2012, Timberlake focused on his acting career, effectively putting his music career on hiatus; he held starring roles in the films The Social Network, Bad Teacher, In Time and Friends with Benefits.  In 2013, Timberlake resumed his music career with his third and fourth albums The 20/20 Experience and The 20/20 Experience: 2 of 2. The former became one of the best-selling records of the year and spawned hits "Suit & Tie" and "Mirrors", while the latter is preceded by lead single "Take Back the Night".  In 2005, Timberlake launched the William Rast clothing line with childhood friend Juan ("Trace") Ayala. The 2007 line contained cord jackets, cashmere sweaters, jeans and polo shirts.  The pair reports inspiration from fellow Memphis native Elvis Presley: "Elvis is the perfect mixture of Justin and I," Ayala says. "You can go back and see pictures of him in cowboy boots and a cowboy hat and a nice button-down shirt, but then again you can see him in a tux and a collared shirt with rhinestones on it and slacks. We like to think 'If he was alive today, what would he be wearing?'"  Target has announced that a William Rast collection, including denim, outerwear and sportswear for men and women, would launch in December and be available for a month.  An avid amateur golfer, in 2007 Timberlake purchased the run-down Big Creek Golf Course in his home town of Millington, Tennessee.

William Rast: The Clothing Line

Timberlake's fashion standing rests on a business, not only an image. The William Rast clothing line, launched in 2005 with childhood friend Trace Ayala, took its design brief from a fellow Memphis native: Elvis Presley, described by Ayala as the perfect mixture of the two founders — cowboy boots and a cowboy hat with a button-down shirt at one end, a tux and a collared shirt with rhinestones at the other. “If he was alive today, what would he be wearing?” is the question the line was built to answer, and its 2007 range — cord jackets, cashmere sweaters, jeans and polo shirts — plus the month-long Target collection of denim, outerwear and sportswear for men and women, carried that answer from runway to high street.

Music, Then Film, Then Music Again

The career around the clothing line runs in clear phases: child performer on Star Search and The New Mickey Mouse Club, lead singer and youngest member of 'N Sync in the late 1990s, a solo career, then a deliberate acting phase from 2007 through 2012 — The Social Network, Bad Teacher, In Time, Friends with Benefits — before The 20/20 Experience returned him to music in 2013 as one of the year's best-selling records. An avid amateur golfer, he also purchased the run-down Big Creek Golf Course in his home town of Millington, Tennessee, in 2007.
