Unit X: James Long - Bjorn Borg

After a workshop, it was decided we shall use 1970s tennis star, Bjorn Borg as our muse. He is the main face of tennis within that era and had a distinct look of shoulder length bushy curls, strong brow and sweatband.


These images are also realy good for garment research for our garment shape designs. We are looking at designing sportswear inspired by 1970s tenniswear. Here I see polo shirts with stripes and in a slim fit to the figure. There is also branding of Fila left of the centre fold on both shirt and shorts. The ornage jacket seen here has a similar tone to the orange we are using so maybe that is why it has caught my eye. It is an Adidas jacket with a raglan style sleeve and black ribbing for the collar and cuff which is connected with the black three stripes adidas is famous for.
