To mark the transition from player to club owner, Beckham opted for a more executive look for both events. Tuesday for the more formal event, he wore a
black Ralph Lauren Black Label 'Anthony' suit with a white Aston shirt by the same fashion label and on Wednesday he went to is British roots and wore a Burberry suit in
grey.
Ralph Lauren is an all American designer, who started his life in fashion working for Brook Brothers as a sales associate and eventually left to become a salesman for a tie company. In 1966, when he was 26, he was inspired to design a wide, European-style necktie, but the idea was rejected by the company he worked for. He left to establish his own company selling the ties he made to small shops in New York.
