David Beckham has unveiled the launch of his first global grooming brand, HOUSE 99, a complete collection of 21 innovative products to conquer every style ambition.
The highly anticipated launch was created by David Beckham in partnership with L’Oréal Luxe to provide all the tools men need to experiment with their look in order to express their own evolving style and unique identity. HOUSE 99 takes a holistic approach to grooming, merging British barbershop culture and style with hair, skin, beard and tattoo creativity to build a home for every man’s next look.
As one of the world’s most famous style icons, David Beckham continues to challenge the notion of what it means to be “masculine”. Notoriously experimenting and reinventing his own image, the London-born footballer, historically made caring about your style and changing your look acceptable amongst men. He inspired a generation and redefined ‘male culture’ not just in the UK but across the world. Driven by this desire to revolutionize society’s take on grooming as part of modern masculinity, HOUSE 99 was built with the ambition to offer exceptional innovative formulas to men who are not afraid to explore their own unique style and express their identity.
“I‘m so excited to finally share House 99 with everyone around the world! For me, grooming is not only about how you look, but how you feel. It‘s about being comfortable, trying new things and shaping your next look. I created House 99 to give people the inspiration as well as the right products to experiment and feel completely at home doing so. House 99 is here to support men, to give them the tools they need to create whatever look they are going for. Welcome to the house.“ David Beckham, Founder HOUSE 99
Merging David Beckham’s legacy of new looks with British barbershop culture and applying the technical expertise of L’Oréal Luxe labs, the HOUSE 99 product line has been carefully engineered over the last two years, to create an all-new grooming brand, home to every guy’s next look.
More than just a brand, HOUSE 99, is named by merging two components: The word “HOUSE” reflects David’s goal to build an inclusive community of grooming aficionados, to share style tips and recommendations in order to conquer every look and inspire new creations. The number “99” which he has tattooed on his hand marks a momentous year in both his personal life and career.
HOUSE 99, THE ART OF GROOMING FOR ALL.
Upgrading every step of the modern-man’s routine, from simple every-day grooming to more sophisticated style transformations, HOUSE 99 offers expert and diverse solutions for all hair and skin types, tried, tested and approved by the man himself.
Just like David, the brand is both masculine and stylish, with a product assortment inspired by his legendry evolving look, developed to work together and provide everyone with David’s real-life routine for game-changing grooming results.
For David, it’s all about a holistic approach to his daily style regime, focusing on hair, beard, skin and body. From the 21-sku line his current HOUSE 99 must-haves include:
SERIOUSLY GROOMED BEARD & HAIR BALM
When facial hair needs to know its limits – the weightless, creamy balm dishes out serious discipline to shape up unruly hair and short – long beards. Inspired by David Beckham’s current long-haired look and his full beard from 2015, this lightweight styling agent adds structure and nourishes hair and beards for a disciplined and conditioned look all day long.
SMOOTH BACK SHAPING POMADE
Keeping it classic – After years of style experimentation, the pompadour remains one of David’s most iconic looks, a classic base that he’s played with to give it either a red carpet finish or a more casual twist. The Smooth Back Shaping Pomade gives hair the perfect amount of hold with a natural-looking texture. Also directly inspired by David’s own day-to-day routine, the product is designed for men on the move, humidity-proof and sweat resistant.
GREATER LOOK FACE MOISTURISER
Light on skin, unforgiving on shine – Inspired by David Beckham’s hectic lifestyle and action packed days, the lightweight and nourishing formula, strengthens skin whilst keeping it looking healthy and hydrated all day long. Loaded in hydration, the protein-rich spirulina and quinoa extracts smooth and energize the skin reducing shine and enhancing natural radiance.
BOLD STATEMENT TATTOO BODY MOISTURIZER SPF30
Ink work with attitude – Tattoos have acted as a significant reflection of David’s life, marking his major milestones. With over 40 different designs and a new one emerging every year, David knows the importance of protecting and maintaining his ink-work. The spray moisturizer is easy and fast to use, leaving skin supple and leaving no residue. The protective SPF 30 blocks UV rays to preserve tattoos original colours and enhance brightness.
Quinoa and spirulina form the heart of HOUSE 99’s formulas, chosen specifically by David Beckham for their health-boosting properties, as a prominent sportsman. These natural protein-rich actives combine the essential constituents needed by hair and skin that can’t be synthesized by the body. Working to strengthen hair and beard fibres, energize and revitalize the body, and illuminate and smooth the skin.
This new grooming brand will launch in the UK, exclusively at Harvey Nichols, on February 1st 2018, and will roll out to other British retailers, and in 19 countries, from March 1st 2018.
