Justin Bieber Says He Didn’t Approve H&M Clothing Line

Justin Bieber is lashing out against clothing retailer H&M, claiming they created a line featuring his name and image without his approval.

Taking to his Instagram Stories, the singer told fans, "I didn't approve any of the merch collection that they put up at H&M ... all without my permission and approval [shaking my head] I wouldn't buy it if I were you."

He followed up with an additional statement, "The H&M merch they made of me is trash and I didn't approve it. Don't buy it."

It is unknown what line he is referring to, but a search of the clothing retailer shows a newly painted canvas tote bag that depicts Justin's face. The model is wearing a white sweater with Justin's image on the front.

The online store also lists an oversized pink hoodie that has lyrics "I miss you more than life" from Justin's "Ghost" printed on the front.

A further search of his name didn't yield more results. One of Justin's fan accounts did obtain images of the alleged collection and shared them to their personal Instagram.

Justin reacted to the fan's photo collection that showed hoodies, tees, bags, cellphone covers and charms in the comment section, doubling down on his claim that he didn't sign off on the new line. "When everyone finds out I didn’t approve any of this merch [shaking my head]," he commented.

Forbes reached out to the Swedish retailer, which denies any wrongdoing. A representative told the outlet the company "followed proper approval procedures" before releasing its latest line.

2022 has been a year of great fashion. But with every high, there is a low. Some stars just couldn't get it together. Whether or not they work with a stylist, these celebs' fashion choices have made us cringe.

Take a look below at the worst-dressed celebrity style's of 2022:

This may be a Fenty collab, but who the hell would wear a bubble gum pink thong bodysuit over sheer tights and those weird heels? Kim's fashion has gotten so much worse since her ex-husband Kanye West stopped styling her.

The Mainstream Sellout proves that you can't rely on your height to look good. We think he took a little bit too much inspiration from the Hellraiser reboot. We get it, you're punk and you like spikes.

Madonna is undeniably a music legend, but let's be real: her excessively provocative style is not it. Don't even get us started on the bleached brows and all those fillers that make her look like an alien...

Oh, Britney. Where do we begin with you? Her fashion sense is like that of a child who picks all of the most random items and gets dressed in the dark. Please stop wearing low-rise bottoms -- we do not want those to come back!

Though Julia Fox can be an innovative style icon, there are times when she does way too much. Sometimes, less can be more and you don't have to make every piece of your outfit to be made of the same material and color.

Jared, you're supposed to be a fashion icon, but this patent leather purple suit just makes you look like a total creep. The pink hair does not make you look more approachable.

Some people may be fans of JT's choice in pants lately, but we are not those people. The oversized dress pant looks like a little boy wo got into hid daddy's closet.
