“I’m really proud, and impressed,” said Beckham, whose eponymous fashion brand is also in growth mode. “It’s grown and evolved very, very quickly. Daniel has even made me a version of the pleat-front pants,” she said, pointing to her husband’s pair, “and a few shirts, too.”

Beckham’s company, Seven Global,has a business partnership with the Trinity Group-owned Kent & Curwen, and he and Kearns unveiled the brand’s first full collection in a rough-edged building on a former Thames loading dock.
A capsule collection launched last year,and was sold exclusively on Mr Porter, and the brand now plans to roll out to stores including Selfridges and Brown Thomas in Ireland.
Kent & Curwen will travel to Milan later this month with an eye to selling the collection Europe-wide, while a standalone store is set to open in Covent Garden in September, with a flagship — and other units — to follow, the next one most likely in east London.
