The Swedish fashion giant is not going to be left in the blocks as sports and lifestyle clothing booms.

The line includes clothing and accessories for men, women and children.
In fact, the pieces were designed with special input from Swedish Olympians, including swimmer and Olympic medalist Therese Alshammar: “what we wear definitely makes a difference when we compete,” said Alshammar. “Our focus has been checking the pieces for fit and function, for performance and also comfort.”
