The Fall/Winter menswear collection from Björn Borg gets its inspiration from an updated 70’s boot camp. But in this case the boot camp is all about the game. It is about playing the game with charm, sweat and tears. It is about friendship and facing the challenge together. The collection also carries signs of the great achievements by Björn Borg, celebrating his 5 wins at Wimbledon, his 6 Roland Garros’ and his 109 weeks in a row as number one-ranked number tennis player in the world. Another sporty friend from the era is Mr. Ingemar Stenmark, one of the world’s leading skiers, who has served as an inspiration for the knitted part of the collection. “The collection celebrates true sportsmanship. We have designed a wardrobe that takes you on a journey and lets you discover your true potential”, says Björn Borg’s Creative Director- Peter Simonsson.
