The Weeknd Announces Clothing Collaboration with BAPE

(Instagram)

Abel Tesfaye, AKA The Weeknd, just announced a clothing collaboration with A Bathing Ape.

The Canadian R&B singer took to both Twitter and Instagram to share this quick look at his brand, XO, and streetwear brand BAPE’s new line.

Captioned vaguely with, “coming soon,” we can only wonder just how soon it will be. Since BAPE is known for being pretty pricey, fans can only hope that not all of these new releases will follow that trend.

The Weeknd has previously collaborated with both Puma and H&M, ending his deal with H&M after the company used some racially insensitive photos that sparked controversy, but this sneak-peek is definitely indicative that XO will be headed in a bold, new direction.

With the recent release of his latest album, My Dear Melancholy, his even more recent performance at Coachella, and his upcoming Starboy comic, the 28-year-old sensation is on a roll so far this year. Fashion or otherwise, we can’t wait to see what’s in store for him next.
