BJÖRN BORG LAUNCHING IN SOUTH AFRICA

So, Bjorn Borg launched on Wednesday at Stuttafords Cavendish branch where everyone in the fashion industry and media was invited. Unfortunately I can not explain much due to POSE arriving late as we were finalizing a shoot that day which only ended around 7pm. As we arrived at the event, it was already done but Jenna was kind enough to send me the below. Read through and check the pictures as the brand explains itself.



Swedish fashion brand Björn Borg has set its sights on expanding the brand into South Africa. The company is initially set to introduce their men and women underwear and socks ranges, with the swimwear range to follow. The well-known and long established Stuttafords group, “Your World of Brands”, shall be the first retailer to launch Björn Borg in its flagship stores at Sandton and Eastgate in Johannesburg, Gateway in Durban and Cavendish Square and Canal Walk in Cape Town, as from February 2014.
 
“This is a first step into South Africa and Africa. We are very proud to say JA to South Africa. We are in it for the long term and expect to see a healthy growth. The ambition is to expand more in South Africa with time” comments Henrik Fischer, CEO of Bjorn Borg.
The Björn Borg brand is currently represented in nearly all European countries, the UK, Canada and Chile. Stuttafords CEO, Hilton Mer commented as follows: “Stuttafords is proud to be the
first fashion retailer in South Africa to introduce to the public the Bjorn Borg brand which aspires to be the champion of fashion underwear. The objectives of both businesses include the presentation of distinctive, innovative and quality products to customers”.

Dawie Malan of Björn Borg South Africa says: “We are looking forward to establishing Björn Borg in South Africa, and believe that the brand’s signature style with a mix of colour, quality and fashion with a sporty twist fits the South African market very well. “

Mai Thai Wellness Spa review.

Last week PoseZA was invited to an escape to Paradise in The Heart of Cape Town at the Mai Thai wellness spa in Green Point. Been to quite a few Spa's in my lifetime, its always amazing to find one that takes you on a journey you have never been before. As I got out of the cab, I could see why it has been a jewel for Cape Town as it is a bit hidden but nonetheless when you enter the amazing wooden work door, you are transported to Thailand there and then. The interior is as authentic as Thailand, giving you a beach hotel Spa with an aroma of the sea and an eastern passage using Vuudh's Eastern collection, a very personal experience of travels and recollections of fragrances from each city and giving you an exquisite and exotic touch to enrich your lifestyle. You are then giving a tour to the garden space where you'll relax after your treatments which is beyond words especially when the sun sets and you have candle lights flouting around the main tree. I was given the opti...
