The Canadian singer will front the company's ad campaigns and fans will be able to shop for his personally selected favorite looks.
He describes his offstage style as simple, saying he chooses 'clothes that look good' while onstage it's all about 'comfort, great color and fit.'
The announcement comes days after the singer released a new anti-cyber bullying video which sees him sympathizing with a bullied teenager.
The video sees the star chat to 14-year-old Long Island High School student about her experiences with bullying, briefly discussing his own suffering at the hands of bullies.

'Kids are mean, and they don't realise how hurtful what it is they're saying,' he tells Dinah, the Long Island girl in the video.
'Words are powerful. Sometimes you'd rather be physically beaten up than emotional damaged. I was picked on. It's a tough feeling but you can get through it.'
Currently he is touring the U.S. on his Believe tour, which moves on to Europe early next year.
