David Beckham has been named as the Ambassadorial President of the British Fashion Council, to help forge industry partnerships around the world.
In the newly-created role, the ex-football player will spend two years helping the BFC look for new talent across Britain, and work around the world to promote the industry.
The 43-year-old, who has had his fair share of fashion triumphs and disasters, said: “Taking on this new role is an incredibly proud moment for me.
“I have long been passionate about British style, fashion and craftsmanship, and this role gives me the chance to get under the skin of an industry I love.
“I am excited to be working closely with the British Fashion Council to promote and inspire young talent from across the UK on a global scale.”
Beckham has his own line of aftershaves – Beckham Fragrances – and is a business partner with British menswear company Kent & Curwen.
He and his wife Victoria Beckham, a fashion designer in her own right, modelled his underwear line for H&M in 2007.
In 1998 he was named the most stylish man of the year by GQ.
