Even after hanging up his boots, David Beckham remains a style icon of worldwide acclaim. So it’s no surprise H&M decided to expand its long standing partnership with the acclaimed former England midfielder, creating the Modern Essentials Selected by David Beckham collection.
According to the man himself, this release features his favorite pieces from this spring’s Modern Essential collection and includes essentials like a linen bomber jacket, a white denim jacket, a linen blazer, a polo shirt, and a classic white poplin shirt.
Naturally, Beckham stars in the collection’s presentation video, which is directed by Marc Forster (whom you might remember for his work on such movies as Quantum of Solace or World War Z). The German-born director was reportedly impressed with the former athlete’s “acute eye for cinematic storytelling,” something which we’re sure will make the clip look great, but also H&M’s new line of clothing.
In addition to the Modern Essentials, David Beckham is also launching his new Bodywear collection, which comprises Henleys, raglan-sleeved shirts, crewnecks, a jersey vest, and more. Both collections are due to be released on March 5. Until then, you can check out a gallery featuring Beckham in his new H&M attire, or watch a short clip of him on the set, shooting the new campaign.
