LOS ANGELES: English football great David Beckham has launched the Spring Summer 2016 collection for his new bodywear range in partnership with clothing retailer H&M.

The retired soccer star says the focus of the line was on “great quality and affordability”. “Everything about my Bodywear for H&M has to be authentic. If I wouldn’t wear it then it doesn’t go in the collection! I want to choose a range that has great quality and design but is affordable,” femalefirst.co.uk quoted him as saying.

“I’m always trying to evolve the bodywear collection, and include classic pieces like sweaters and track pants that I would wear out or at home,” he added. In photos released to promote the range, Beckham can be seen modelling a number of garments available including sweatshirts, tops and tracksuit bottoms.
