David Beckham Tries His Hand At Fashion Design
Following in his wife’s fashion design footsteps, soccer star David Beckham is trying to branch out into fashion design by teaming up with designer James Bond to create a new line of sportswear for the Adidas Originals by Originals collection. Here is our first look at what Becks’s design aesthetic looks like and some info about his new line of sportswear:
David Beckham has added designer to his résumé of model, muse and footballer. He collaborated with James Bond, owner of the Undefeated sneaker-freak boutiques, on a fall-winter men’s collection for Adidas Originals by Originals. Designers Jeremy Scott and Kazuki, who created spring collections for the label, have also reenlisted for fall. (Scott’s range includes women’s wear.) Beckham frequents Undefeated in Los Angeles and someone at Adidas, aware of their mutual admiration, proposed they collaborate. Their design approach was to update classic American sportswear with fashionable silhouettes and details. The apparel range features materials such as leather, cashmere and silk, while the footwear builds on iconic Adidas styles. The duo also developed accessories and thermal layering pieces. However, Beckham, who already has an athletic endorsement relationship with Adidas, has no plans to use his image or personal appearances to promote the new line.
I don’t particularly care for the baggy pants but I like the cardigan over the t-shirt look. I’d have to see more from this line of David Beckham designs but I think it could be cool. Something tells me by the sound of the materials used (cashmere, silk, etc.) that this new line of clothing ain’t gonna be cheap or even affordable. We all know what happened when Vicki B. tried to sell her overpriced denim jeans … no one bought them. Hopefully Becks will have more success with his line of clothes … ‘cuz Lord knows he could use the extra money. Are any of y’all interested in droppin’ the dough to buy clothes designed by David Beckham?

So he’s taking a page out of Mr Rogers’ book now? Seriously with the cardigan? I didn’t know Becks had turned 65…

OY! This whole outfit is a hot mess… I don’t really care for this cardigan or cardigan’s in general. Kind of old man-ish.

More cheap threads for the rag bin to end up being sent for starving children in Africa to wear.

Hate the pants, the cardigan i would buy… but it’ll probably cost somewhere around 400 dollars, so, I think I’ll stick with shopping at the Gap and Macy’s :)

did the model dress in a dark room and take the wrong clothes or is this stuff so damn ugly?

SERIOUSLY?? No way this should have even been allowed. Adidas is sports wear for athletes, its made for performance, not to please the eyes or be fashionable. WHAT FIELD OR COURT COULD YOU EVER WEAR THAT RIDICULOUS CARDIGAN ON??? He needs to stop listening to his “fashionista” wife and continue to keep trying to prove himself as a *serious* football player on the field. As for this sportsline, I think its utterly ridiculous and the folks at Adidas should be ashamed at themselves.
