"I've had a long relationship with Belstaff, and a very successful one and one I've really enjoyed," Beckham says in a behind-the-scenes look at the making of "Outlaws." "Belstaff came to me with an idea of doing a short film . . . It was an easy decision to make that we were going to do this," he said.

The trailer will be released on the Belstaff official website on Monday, while a wrap party will take place during New York Fashion Week on September 17. The father of four has also starred in ad campaigns for the brand. This apart, he has designed two collections for Belstaff.
