Romeo Beckham’s ditches football for a foray into fashion: From childhood Burberry shoots to GQ best dressed, was he always destined to follow in Victoria’s footsteps?
He’s spent a week in the French capital taking in the hustle and bustle of Paris Fashion Week ahead of Victoria’s highly-anticipated show on Friday. And his attendance at the event seemed fitting after it was announced Romeo Beckham has officially ditched football to pursue a career in fashion.
The second eldest of the Beckham clan, Romeo, 22, always appeared to be torn between the two growing up with a football famous father and fashionista mother.
However it was revealed earlier this month that Romeo has reportedly left his Premier League football club despite being offered a new contract by Brentford FC in June.
And after Romeo’s decision to pass on the opportunity we take a look back at all the moments that showed he was destined to follow in Victoria’s footsteps.
Romeo’s first big break came when he was just 10-years-old as he took his first modelling assignment for Burberry.
Following in his mother’s footsteps from a young age, Romeo was undaunted on set as was described ‘amazing, incredible and a little joy’ who kept everyone entertained as he was ‘bouncing around’.
His passion for fashion was cemented from an early age as he accompanied Victoria on shoots and mingling amongst a host of top designers.
A favourite of the brand, Romeo returned to film a Christmas advert with the designer two years later as he wore the classic Burberry trench along with a smart Burberry scarf and umbrella.
It was later reported his work contributed to some stellar sales techniques and purchases of the classic £1,500 coat rose by a substantial 10 per cent in findings from January 2015.
