...that soccer player David Beckham and his wife former Spice Girl Victoria are successful parfume and jewellery designers.
But what exactly are their role in design process?

Or do they only put their famous names to final products?

And are their children allowed to drink Coca-Cola or wear Puma sneakers? (same magazine also said that Mr. Beckham has lifelong contract with Pepsi and Adidas)

What do you THINK their role is?
They lend their names to the product. Sometimes they choose a broad category -- "Make it smell clean and fresh", or "I like flowers" -- and usually they're allowed to choose "their" scent from a half-dozen that are proposed by the manufacturer.
They're successful perfume designers like Michael Jordan is a successful shoe designer or George Foreman is a successful cookware designer. Or the Sultan of Brunei is a successful Ferrari designer.

Oh, and....
Oh, and as for the kids drinking Coca-Cola and wearing Puma: Endorsement deals include non-compete clauses which prohibit the endorser from using or endorsing a competitor's products... So I'd guess the answer's "no".

One computer magazine said...
...that Bill Gates does not allow his family members to have iPod and iPhone. They have to use Windows Mobile and Zune. Even though iPhone fascinates his wife Melinda.

It's funny sometimes to see...
It's funny sometimes to see new 'designers' or spinoffs inspired by these more successful designers, the George Foreman influenced newspaper-burning-grill by Dick Butkus, for example.

Contents of this Michael Jackson Perfume bottle have...

Tabac Original was my hero when I was child.
In my opinion, Unilever AXE containers are no longer very stylish.

Well, it's impossible to please everybody simultaneously.

Maybe Jackass and Extreme Duudsonit product lines should also...
...include fitness shopping cart like this one, used in Tesco grocery stores?:
