Soccer player turned underwear designer David Beckham will make magazine history today when he poses for Elle UK's first cover that doesn't feature a woman.
Elle UK editor Lorraine Candy said
the July issue will be pegged to this Summer's Olympic games in
London, and picked Beckham because he bridges the gap between British
sports and British fashion.
"David Beckham is a national hero, so we saw an opportunity to shoot a
celebratory cover to support a historical and patriotic year," she
said. "He is an icon and Elle
is known for featuring icons on its cover. This is a first for us on
the newsstand and I believe he is loved by men and women alike. Anyway,
who doesn't want to see a picture of one of the world's most handsome
men on the front cover of a magazine? It will be a collector's issue."
