Can Justin Bieber Use the Fashion Industry to Repair His Reputation?

Can Justin Bieber Use the Fashion Industry to Repair His Reputation?:

The fashion world is no stranger to scandal. Some of the biggest talents in the industry have faced intense public scrutiny for their personal behavior — from Kate Moss, who famously lost dozens of modeling contracts after photos of her doing cocaine surfaced, to Dolce and Gabbana, for long-alleged tax fraud, to John Galliano, who was fired from Christian Dior when he was caught on video making anti-Semitic remarks.

While most of these players emerged relatively unscathed on the other side, there was a period of time where their futures were uncertain. Would the mainstream media, fans and, perhaps most importantly, consumers who shop the products attached to their names forgive them? Considering how Moss's earnings reportedly doubled after her scandal and that Galliano is back with a critically lauded debut at Maison Margiela, it makes sense that one of the latest pop cultural figures to be rocked with accusations of misconduct would turn to the fashion industry to help him make a comeback: none other than Justin Bieber.

At just 21 years old, the former teen pop heartthrob has made headlines for a number of unsavory situations he's been involved in, including underage drinking, drag racing, drug possession, soliciting prostitution, an alleged hook-up with Miranda Kerr, fighting and being generally nasty to everyone around him. Bieber had more run-ins with the law in 2013 and 2014 than most people have in a lifetime, and his reputation as a talented, respectable musician has been completely destroyed. In 2015, he's clearly embarked on a comeback tour — which culminated with his roast on Comedy Central in March — but in a surprising strategy, Bieber chose to seek redemption by first winning over the fashion industry.

In January, Bieber was named the face of Calvin Klein underwear, showing off his newly buff bod in a campaign alongside Lara Stone. He appeared in the 2015 music issue of V magazine in a black and white spread shot by Karl Lagerfeld, and he's the cover star of the newest edition of indie magazine Hero, with an editorial shot by Saint Laurent's Hedi Slimane. Vogue dubbed him as a member of Hollywood's new "Brat Pack" and was featured in the April issue, shot by Mario Testino. To top it all off, he was Olivier Rousteing's date to the Met Gala, where the Balmain designer addressed him on the red carpet as "the future of fashion." There are even rumors that he will guest star in the upcoming "Zoolander" sequel.

But what is it about Bieber — who's never really been known for his personal style or for being a trendsetter — that has led the industry to accept him so fervently, despite his widespread reputation for being so unsavory? "People are genuinely intrigued about where he's going next; he's a global phenomenon already, but he's almost starting from scratch again," the editors of Hero, Fabien Kruszelnicki and James West, wrote in an email when asked why they decided to put Bieber on the cover. "That's an exciting place to be in your career, and that determination and electricity is infectious. He's also finding a new identity, setting out who 'the new Bieber' is and clothes and style are a massive part of that."

Bieber's former demographic (aka the "Beliebers") is likely very different — in age and in income — from the high fashion one he's trying to reach now, but according to Sylvie di Giusto, a New York-based corporate image consultant, that's part of his appeal. "Fashion is a 'grown up business;' when you’re working in fashion, you're likely not a youngster anymore with a fan base around 12, 13, 14 years old," she explained. "It’s a money business, and what we tend to forget is that not only is Bieber growing up, so is his fan base. They’re a very important target market for all of these designers who are working with him."

Casting Bieber earned Calvin Klein millions of social media followers. While his fans might not be able to afford items by Karl Lagerfeld or Balmain quite yet, they might be able to 10 years down the line, and Bieber can be credited with the beginning of their relationships with these high-end brands. In addition, they're likely not worried about alienating existing customers who might be turned off by seeing Bieber in these ads and editorials. "These brands are thinking about building out a followership for the future — attracting more followers that they don't have right now," di Giusto said, and Bieber is the key getting these new eyes on their brands.

Despite how hiring or shooting Bieber may seem random or disingenuous for a high fashion label, di Giusto claims it's a more natural fit than some might think. "The fashion and music industries are very close to each other — if you’re in the music industry, the way you dress yourself becomes so important because there's so much press around you," she said. "He was already 'in the business' even if he’s a musician, so this brand ambassador relationship makes a lot of sense."

No matter how tarnished his reputation may be, the fashion industry is likely to give Bieber just what he needs to emerge with a brand new image. This means Bieber's going to be sticking around awhile. "Fashion always embraces rebels, the anti-heroes, risk-takers and outsiders," Kruszelnicki and West added. "Maybe they make us feel more alive. Once you have the support of the fashion crowd, everything else follows."

Justin Bieber Won't Be Charged for Photographer Assault

Justin Bieber Won't Be Charged for Photographer Assault:
The status of Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez may remain a mystery, but this much we now know for certain:
The singer will avoid prosecution for a run-in he had in May with a member of the paparazzi.
Suave Bieber
This Justin Bieber assault allegation stems from an incident this spring after which a photographer filed a complaint and claimed that Bieber shoved him on the street in Calabasas because the "reporter" tried to snap pictures of Justin and Selena.
But law enforcement officials now tell TMZ the Los Angeles County District Attorney will NOT file charges due to conflicting witness accounts and a simple lack of evidence.
So that's good news. Now we can all return our attention to the status of Jelena.

According to a new report, a certain young singer wants to have it all.
Following the Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez break up, these two stars have been spotted arguing and cuddling, ignoring each other one day and dining together the next night.
Why all the back and forth?
Justin Bieber Wink
"Justin reached out first and hasn't stopped reaching out," one source tells Us Weekly of Bieber's desire to reconcile on one hand.
But on the other?
"Justin has a wandering eye," this same insider claims, backing up allegations that Bieber is uncertain if he wants to be with Gomez or a bevy of beauties.

Another friend confirms to the tabloid that Justin wants "to experience other girls" and that's been the main source of contention between him and Selena.
Understandably so, if true.
So why hasn't the couple officially split? Why have Justin and Selena been meeting up for dinner dates?
"They are best friends," says an insider. "So breaking that habit is tough."
Do you think these two should officially get back together?

Justin Bieber has reportedly been sending shirtless photos to Selena Gomez with his cell phone! We all know how popular sexting has become with teenagers, but it’s always a risky activity for celebs of any age.
X17 Online claims that Justin took pics of himself topless to send to his girlfriend during a magazine photo shoot. For Justin’s sake let’s hope he keeps his textual messages PG-13 and they don’t end up on the internet!
“Justin was talking to the stylist, asking her to take sexy pictures of him for his girlfriend,” a source told the site. “He was just being cute about it, joking around, but he definitely wanted to look good for this girl. He never said the name Selena, but we knew who it was.”
Justin and Selena were recently spotted on a movie date night in Burbank, CA. Not that we needed any more proof that they’re dating. After years in the friend zone, Selena and the Biebs finally coupled up at the end of last year.
