Feb. 3 (UPI) -- The Weeknd and H&M have teamed up to release a line of streetwear titled Spring Icons Selected by The Weeknd.

The collection which will feature 25 pieces of urban-inspired menswear including bombers, hoodies, tailored shirts and blazers, is set to arrive in H&M stores starting March 2.

"What I like about this collection is that it's all about pieces that I want to wear," The Weeknd, real name Abel Tesfaye, said of the line while speaking with WWD.

"The way that I dress is like a uniform, and it's pretty much who I am. Whenever I travel around the world, it's also how I see other men dressing. Streetwear has taken over the world, and in the process it's started to change and become even more special, more sharp," he continued.

H&M posted a behind-the-scenes promotional video of The Weeknd wearing the line around Los Angeles Thursday.

"Abel's taste and style perfectly fits the menswear mood of the season at H&M. He has such a great eye for the little details that matter, and for mixing together updated men's classics for the perfect tailored streetwear look," H&M's men's head of design Andreas Lowenstam said in a statement.
