From newcomers Justin Timberlake and Trace Ayala to seasoned veteran Marc Jacobs, designers continue to wow the crowds at New York Fashion Week. NY1's George Whipple filed the following report.

Their first time in the tents, Justin Timberlake and Trace Ayala showed their William Rast line.

It's symbol is a new American flag for a new America. The line returned to its American roots showing the flag, jeans with appliques, sequins and with studs.

"I think we're a little more prepared. I think the lifestyle that we're trying to promote is a little stronger," said Ayala.

"I think, you know, well also it's our first time that we showed in New York was for spring and there's only so much you can do for spring and I think now we are able to show more of a complete collection to go with the denim we've already established," said Timberlake.

As if there weren't enough glitz and glam on the runway, the after party was held at the exclusive Rose Bar at the Gramercy Park Hotel.

Next stop was the 69th Regiment Armory downtown on Lexington Avenue for the Marc Jacobs show, which started two minutes early, unheard of in the fashion business -- where 30 minutes late is considered on time. Everyone got a front row seat in keeping with these democratic times.

"We just felt it was responsible to not do a huge set and once we took away that set and made it not about entertaining, you know, celebrities, etcetera and friends and just about the press and buyers and people crucial to our business, we just scaled the whole thing down," said Jacobs.

The collection this season was a burst of color and optimism.

"We put this collection together with the idea of looking at each girl individually and creating different characters and just like, recreating I guess in my mind a little bit the energy of how I think New York use to be and that brash, sort of boldness of people enjoying themselves, getting dressed up, going out and just looking really gorgeous," said Jacobs.
