Several products featured Bieber in black and white, while others displayed lyrics to songs such as “Ghost” from his album Justice.

On all of the clothing, the brand, which is a nod to Bieber’s middle name, features a smiley face with “drew” as the mouth. Drew’s wardrobe consists of everything from t-shirts to bucket hats, puffer jackets to skirts. Bieber is frequently wearing clothing from his own line with a smiley face emblazoned.
