The brand now has more than 100 stores globally with more than 70 in the Chinese mainland.

Beckham's own style is also seen in the collection, he says.

"David has an effortless style, whether it is formal or casual. What we want to do is to put that easiness into every piece," Kearns says.

Known for his impeccable style, Beckham says he also has moments - when he thinks he should not have worn certain pieces. But for him, the key to finding style is simple.

"It is to be true to yourself. Don't try to be somebody else. Wear what you love and what you feel comfortable with. It is one of the things I have always believed in."
