If his clothes look half as good as he does, Becks' rumoured sportswear collection is bound to be a hit

David Beckham may be ready to cover up his H&M pants with some real clothes - of his own design, of course.

WWD reports that Becks is in talks to develop his own sportswear collection. And as long as he's also planning on modelling it, we're fully on board.

It's a big project, but the former football star isn't going it alone. He's reportedly working with Simon Fuller, the CEO of XIX Entertainment in London, who is the business adviser behind wife Victoria Beckham’s fashion empire.

Of course, this wouldn't be the first fashion venture for David. He's developed a bodywear and a swimwear range for H&M, designed shoes for Adidas Originals and worked with Belstaff on a capsule collection of moto jackets. Plus, he has been looking extra cosy with Anna Wintour lately, so we're guessing he'd be welcomed into the industry with open arms.
