This isn’t the first time the Toronto rapper The Weeknd has linked up with H&M to model a fashion line, the last being his Spring 2017 collaboration, and if the fans have their way it likely won’t be the last.
Sporting some hot looking jackets, The Weeknd took up H&M’s fall line of jackets- apparently he had a great time choosing the fall fashion “icons,” as stated in a press release.
“I love the mix of urban pieces like bombers and hoodies with tailored shirts and blazers.”
In an 18-piece collection, The Weeknd takes on a look that has some sportswear influences, but overall evokes a timeless, stylish look effortlessly incorporates aspects from the music industry in subtle tones.

Set to drop tomorrow, the line features a satin varsity jacket that immediately catches the eye, a padded bomber- style jacket, boots and trousers.
The “Starboy” rapper isn’t limiting his fashion empire to H&M alone- this past August he hooked up with PUMA to release the Puma Parallel, an incredible looking street hightop kick that came in olive and an all-white colorway.
On some not so happy news, members of The Weeknd’s stage crew are under criminal investigation for rape following one of the lyricist’s shows; stage hands are hired from city to city as the tour progresses, so it’s no one in the XO Gang’s inner circle, but the news is disturbing regardless.
“Upon learning of the accusations that two members of our tour staff are facing, we immediately terminated their employment. We are working with the authorities to ensure they have access to any information or assistance they may need,” the XO Tour Manager and Live Nation team reported.
For the moment it looks like The Weeknd’s team are on top of it- shout out your opinions on the new H&M fashion- what brand do you think he should partner with next?
