Rumor Denied: David Beckham is NOT Designing a Menswear Collection for Victoria's Label

Yesterday, rumors were swirling that David Beckham would be designing a menswear collection for wife Victoria's lauded fashion label. However, we've since heard from a Beckham spokesperson, and they say it's "just a rumor--not true." In truth, we kind of hope it's most definitely false. VB does great work and has campaigned hard to gain respect from those within the fashion industry. A David-designed menswear line could stifle those advances.
