Brand Beckham and the rise of the clapback costume
"It's been over a week since Beckxit and still we wait. Yes, we've had David's aphorisms at Davos; Romeo on the Willy Chavarria catwalk; Cruz on tour; Victoria's reunion not to mention the various fulsome Instagram posts from both parties. But no rebuttal, no apologies, no tears. Then, the remaining Beckhams hit Paris fashion week and finally we got our first statement."
"But it was David, walking into La Reserve Paris on Monday a hotel so fancy it has more suites than rooms that finally shifted the discourse. He was carrying a ludicrously capacious tan canvas Hermes Haut a Courroie bag (rarer than a Birkin if you can fathom that) and wearing a Momotaro jacket made from indigo-dyed sashiko dobby fabric. Forget the five-figure handbag sashiko is a form of decorative reinforcement, or visible mending, from Japan. It also translates as little stabs."
Over a week after Beckxit there has been no public rebuttal, apology, or visible tears from the family. David Beckham attended Paris events supporting Victoria Beckham’s investiture as a knight of the Order of Arts and Letters, joined by the remaining children and their partners. David arrived carrying a large tan Hermès Haut à Courroie bag and wearing a Momotaro jacket made from indigo-dyed sashiko dobby fabric. Sashiko is a Japanese decorative reinforcement technique that translates as 'little stabs' and functions as visible mending. Observers and brand consultants speculated that the outfit could be a deliberate vestiary message aimed at an estranged son.
