Shawn Mendes fronts new Calvin Klein campaign

Shawn Mendes has landed his first campaign for Calvin Klein.

The 20-year-old musician posted two photographs from the campaign on Instagram, where he has 40 million followers, on Saturday with a teasing caption that suggested more snaps would be unveiled later this week.

In the first photo, Mendes poses in a pair of white Calvin Klein briefs while reclining on a kitchen counter with sunlight shining through the window.

In the second, he dons a black pair and poses in an orange armchair with an electric guitar and keyboard behind him, presumably in reference his musical talents.

The “In My Blood” singer’s post has been liked more than six million times in less than 12 hours and garnered thousands of gushing comments from his extensive fan base.

It's not the first time Mendes has worked as a fashion model. 

Though he's better known for his music, he has been signed to the prestigious modelling agency Wilhelmina Models since 2016.

He also walked the runway for the Italian fashion house's spring/summer 2018 menswear show in Milan.
