David Beckham in Vintage Rolling Stones T-Shirt


David Beckam is on tour in Asia promoting Haig Club, but while in Macau, China he stopped by a local football training session. He attended the event wearing an awesome vintage 1978 Rolling Stones Winterland Productions Dragon Shirt (WANT!!). The shirt is from Mick Jagger's birthday concert in 1978. The T-shirt was pretty impossible to find and a recent one sold on eBay for $800! I found the T-shirt in the baby blue color, but for $1000 (NEED!!). Sad to say, I have never paid that much for a T-shirt... but might now have too!!

David Beckham in a Three-Piece Suit

 
 
David Beckham has left Los Angeles and  headed to China to promote Jaguar, for which he is a brand ambassador for in China. While he was there, he attended the China Music Awards at the Venetian Macau Casino in a Ralph Lauren Black Label three piece suit. I believe this is the Austin Three-Piece Suit which can be purchased for a mere $2295.00! David is wearing the suit with a Ralph Lauren Purple Label Polka-Dot Silk Satin Tie in navy blue and which can be purchased for $215.00 from the Ralph Lauren website (if you don't fancy the colour don't worry it comes in an array of colours). Wondering about his shirt? Try the RL Purple Label Aston French Cuff Dress Shirt for $425.00 dollars. So for a grand total of $2,935 dollars you can Wear It Like Beckham (minus the shoes, socks, pocket square and cuff links) !!


WearItLikeBeckham: Buy a suit with a ticket pocket. If you look at the pictures, David is wearing a Ralph Lauren suit that has a ticket pocket (the small pocket above the larger pocket on the blazer). The pocket originated many years ago from British equestrian tradition and was added to suit jackets so riders would not have to unbutton to access money for tolls. Today this extra pocket is more of a trend than actual use; it's a small detail that adds a bit of style to your suit.

David Beckham in Comme des Garçons

 
David Beckham was awarded the role as China's first global football ambassador for its football league. He has happily taken the position, as he wants to improve the game's image in China and around the world. As part of his role, we will see him observe games and attend charitable events. One of the first charitable event that he attended, was a visit to a children's hospital in China to uplift the spirits of the children being treated there. For this event, David decided to put away his vast collection of smart suits and go to the event wearing a casual plaid shirt by Comme des Garçons from their Homme Plus line.

A Little Bit About Comme des Garçons
Comme des Garcon is French for "like the boys" and is a Japanese fashion label headed by Rei Kawakubo. If you would like to buy anything from this label, then good luck! They only have one store in the US (NYC), 2 stores in Europe (one in Paris and one in London) and a few stores in East Asia (Hong Kong, Beijing, Bangkok, Seoul, Singapore and Manila). On a recent visit to Paris, it took me 2 days to actually find the Paris store, as it turned out I walked by the store a few times before I actually figured out which door was the entrance.
