Justin Bieber shot by Karl Lagerfeld for V Magazine

The popstar has posed for the iconic fashion designer for the new issue of V Magazine.

Justin Bieber has stripped off in a shoot photographed by Karl Lagerfeld for the music issue of V Magazine.

Hot off the back of his new campaign for Calvin Klein, the 20 year old popstar has made another high profile, topless appearance, this time for V Magazine.

The shoot was photographed by legendary German fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld, who is also fairly nifty behind the lens.

Earlier last year Bieber teased fans that a collaboration with Lagerfeld was in the works when he shared pictures of himself and the designer on social media.

The heavily tattooed Bieber is pictured wearing a chain necklace over a bare chest, with a pair of Saint Laurent black jeans.

Bieber made headlines earlier this month when it was revealed he is the new face of Calvin Klein, starring in both its jeans and underwear ads.

The images and accompanying video which sees Bieber get up-close-and-personal with model Lara Stone provoked an angry reaction from some fans who sent threats to model over social media.

Lagerfeld also shot Miley Cyrus for the magazine, in a rather revealing issue last year which saw the singer pose completely naked.
