These days, you’re not a legit star until a fashion label’s snatched you up and added you to its posse.
In lieu of becoming the latest soldier of the Balmain Army like girlfriend Bella Hadid, R&B artist The Weeknd—who’s currently touring North America—is newly collaborating with designer Alexander Wang on… something (See UPDATE below)! Though neither party has made an explicit announcement, Wang posted a brief memo on Twitter Tuesday, simply reading “#WangXO Stay tuned”—”XO” being the name of The Weeknd’s own label.

This isn’t the first time The Weeknd (real name: Abel Tesfaye) has collaborated with Wang. In September, the singer, 25, appeared in a Steven Klein portrait to help support Wang’s partnership with charity DoSomething.org.
In other news, The Weeknd has also teamed up with vaporizer brand PAX on a new vape that plays his chart topper “The Hills” as it powers up. That said—something tells us whatever he’s got going on with A. Wang will be equally as smokin’ hot.
UPDATE:
We’ve just received a press release re: The Weeknd x Alexander Wang—so here’s what’s up.
Throughout his current tour, The Weeknd will be exclusively wearing clothing by Alexander Wang Menswear and WANGXO, the latter being a limited edition capsule collection made by the singer and designer. The collab includes tees, hoodies, and leather sneakers, all with zine-inspired graphics of The Weeknd’s XO logo and lyrics to his songs.
WANGXO will be available in select Alexander Wang stores and at AlexanderWang.com later in November.
