For the Fall/Winter underwear collection, Björn Borg has brought out their childhood kaleidoscopes.
No matter how you look through them you always manage to see something new. The next unfolding pattern is even more playful and interesting than the previous one. Then the light comes, changing
the character of the look of the pattern. Mixing clear light with softer light enhances and changes the character of the patterns. And of course, the collection’s playfulness reminds us of Björn Borg’s way
of always finding a new angle to the game and playing with style.
“Our Björn Borg heritage is always present. This is one of our strongest underwear collections to date
and it mixes our sporty heritage with influences from the more arty side. It manages to both express
our heritage and to be cutting edge”, says Björn Borg’s PR Manager Rocky af Ekenstam Brennicke.

MENSWEAR FALL/WINTER 08 COLLECTION –PLAY THE GAME
INSPIRATION 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.
