Beckham Swimwear Launch–H&M has officially launched David Beckham’s new range of swimwear with styles available in-store and online at HM.com. Shortlist magazine recently caught up with Beckham to discuss his new swimwear range. Beckham confesses that Sean Connery’s James Bond of 1962 was inspiring. He reveals, “Sean Connery in ‘Dr. No’ was definitely on the reference board when we started. Old Bond movies were a big reference.” Continuing the conversation about his collaboration with H&M, Beckham explains, “I have a great relationship with H&M and we’re always looking for something else we can be successful in. The bodywear range has been great since the launch in 2012, so when the swimwear idea came up, we were all over it. The board shorts are something I think will go down well – everyone likes a comfortable pair of shorts. Not everybody likes the tight ones.”
