STOCKHOLM, Sweden – English sporting icon and former Emporio Armani underwear model David Beckham is designing his own briefs in partnership with Swedish cheap n’ chic fashion retailer Hennes and Mauritz.

The collection, dubbed “Bodywear,” will be up for grabs both online and in 1,800 H&M stores worldwide as of Feb. 2 and is the first step in a planned long term co-operation between H&M and the LA Galaxy midfielder.
