Just like his wife Victoria, who has become a full-fledged star designer, David Beckham is getting ready to launch the H&M x David Beckham collection with the retail giant. Set to debut on February 2nd, 2012, the H&M x David Beckham collection will be available in 1,800 H&M stores in 40 countries around the world. Not bad for a soccer player.
"Over the past year, I've been developing my bodywear range with my team and I'm extremely positive about what we have designed and produced. The final piece in the jigsaw was a retail partner who has the vision and capability to distribute these products globally. In H&M we have found the perfect partner to collaborate with going forward," says Beckham.
Here's hoping David Beckham experiences the same success in the fashion world as his wife is enjoying.
