Beckham reported to WWD, “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.”

Previously explaining to WWD, when Beckham announced his plan for Bodywear back in May, “I have had the idea of doing a Bodywear collection for some time now.
