Justin Timberlake has revealed that Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger inspires his designs for fashion house William Rast.

Speaking at the launch of his latest line, Timberlake said there was a “blatant correlation” between music and fashion.

"Well, I think since the beginning of rock and roll, people have wanted to dress like rock stars," the former 'N Sync star told MTV.

"I still find old Mick Jagger jackets that I wish I could pull out of his closet or something.

“Of course, they wouldn't fit me. Very tight."

Timberlake's latest Autumn-Winter collection was praised following its debut at New York fashion week on Tuesday.
