7. Derek Blasberg interviews David Beckham on his new line of body-wear at H&M. Check out some memorable quotes from David below.

"I suppose the very first thing I remember, when it comes to fashion, is when I was a pageboy at a family wedding. I had a choice between wearing some boring old suit, or a pair of knickerbockers with ballerina tights and slippers. I went with the tights."

"I started working on a bodywear project more than a year ago. At the time it was just me and my team; there was no collaboration with anybody else. But, H&M heard that I was bringing out a range and approached us, and it all came together...They took our ideas to another level." "Longevity is what we’re trying to create here, and that’s different from the other collaborations they’ve done. It’ll continue for years. Or, at least I hope it does." "Pie and mash is a proper East London thing, which is where I’m from, so I had it for years as a kid and it’s what I was brought up on. I’ve always said I would love a pie and mash shop one day, but 
I have to be in London for that."
