Biker jackets and David Beckham? Sign us up!
The retired soccer superstar attended the launch party and signing for his new line of biker jackets with Beltstaff in New York City on Tuesday, and he worked it for photographers before stepping inside and greeting fans.
Of course, this was just two days after wife Victoria's big New York Fashion Week show, and he joked that he was in no way trying to steal her thunder. "Obviously she’s doing something far bigger than what I’m doing,” he told reporters. "Mine’s a capsule collection – and something that I’ve been obviously 100% involved in with every detail. But obviously with Victoria’s it’s a whole different monster. She’s done so well; over the years, what she’s created, and how she’s gained the respect of the fashion industry."
But he wouldn't be able to hawk a line of biker jackets unless he drove a motorcycle, right? Not only did he chat about the process behind customizing his 93 Harley-Davidson Knucklehead, but he also talked about the nasty spill he took last week, in which he injured his hand. “My first time," he said with a wince. "Not a great experience, but I was lucky. Riding bikes is dangerous at times, but so is walking down the street. It’s not a nice experience, but it happened. Luckily I only suffered a few bruises and cuts, and a dislocated thumb.”
