WILLY BOGNER JR. Passionate visionary, businessman, and a prominent sportsman with an incredible charisma. Modest and inspiring. He’s been continuing the work of his father for 40 years. Every season, Bogner proves that his brand is beyond time. He says about himself: “Innovations excite me”, about his products: B stands for “better”[1]. Willy Bogner Jr. – tireless innovator who defines “sporty fashion”.
Your brand is a superb combination of sport and fashion. Which of those plays a more important role in your collections?
You are described as a ‘renaissance man’ - ski racer, fashion designer, photographer, movie producer – which of your interests gives you the greatest satisfaction?
Both. We do fashion for outdoors. When you are outdoors you have to have some useful functions in your clothing. It has to keep you warm, allow you to move freely but at the same time one has to look good in his or her clothes. Thus, it was always the combination of sport and style. We have always tried to be innovative, to be at the forefront.
Always the one I am involved with at the moment. You know, because all these areas are really fascinating by themselves. Obviously if you work in the mountains, if you are out there, if you are filming or creating something it’s much more direct than sitting in the office. Also, it is great when you have a good idea and it works. However, you can’t be out there all the time. You have to also use your brains sometimes. And sometimes you use your body more than your brain. You can see round here some images of the past – me with the camera.
I read someplace that your mother Maria was described as Coco Chanel and Bogner in general was described as Dior of ski fashion. Yes, it’s a good comparison because they were really pioneers. They made people on the ski slope look good, especially women. Men can look ugly, they go very fast. (laughter)
Did you use some kind of harness? No, it was always freeriding.
What is your favorite trend, collection or a particular product that you have introduced to the market?
What’s the story behind your success? Is there any key factor that puts Bogner at the top of ski brands worldwide?
Oh, there are many things. But I think that the craziest thing I wanted to have is the ski suit that plays music. We integrated the system at the
It’s a combination of sport and style. You have to understand the sport but then you have to add the artistic aspect to it. My father was a sports guy and my mother had the taste. She would look at the functional stuff that didn’t look very good and say: „I am not gonna wear it” so my father would reply „Why don’t you design something you like?”
back. You pushed the button and it played. And it was before the Walkman! Well, that’s another thing but the music suit was so crazy obviously. I used to film a lot of people who had to have a certain rhythm. They ne-

eded music but how you play music to them? So, I used a tape recorder
Yes, it’s absolutely true.

and the headphones and it worked very well. It’s a funny story because Herbert von Karajan, a famous conductor, was living next to us in St Moritz and his guest at that time was Mr Morita from Sony. I gave Mr Karajan my tape recorder and he showed it to Mr Morita and 2 years later they came up with a Walkman (laughter).
sh. But it’s a good competition, they motivate themselves. But apart from the excellent team there are also a lot of positive emotions and heart inside. If you work with heart you are also successful. Oh yes, it’s a very emotional business.
You know, music plays an important role in my life. There was one film of yours Benjamin in which the main character, an ordinary man, is taken for a prominent ski racer. He is unable to ski and when he is faced with a ski slope he is frightened. Yet, when he hears the music, he starts skiing perfectly well. Music gives him power and he can do anything.
When you look back at your career, working in a family environment, what type of experience/project makes you most proud of today? Do you recall any special moments in the history of the company? Before working in the company, I went to University, I wanted to get a

And she is the one who is singing your song. That’s amazing! Yeah. (laughter) And it’s a very powerful song. You can play it and when you are down it makes you feel happy. And it still works! Do you still enjoy skiing? What’s the thing that you appreciate in skiing most? Always, definitely. I think powder skiing is the best. I love being out there. We used to go heavy skiing in Canada because you have a huge area always with the finest snow. It’s still a dream if I can go out there where I can find the best snow and best conditions. Apart from work and sport what do you enjoy doing in your spare time? (if you have any left) Watching movies, listening to the music, trying to come up with the new story, what’s the next step, talking to these guys (ski racers, sportspeople) to get new ideas, to still have this combination of fun and beauty. Your brand is valued in Poland to a great extent. Indeed, Bogner has a lot of devoted fans in our country. Since you are a marvelous skier yourself can you pass any wisdom onto your Polish fans? Be out there and have fun. Find your own rhythm, find your own line, especially be/choose the right people to ski with. And that’s another great thing about skiing. You can either ski alone or with a group of people.
have some dreams or goals that you want to achieve in future? I think it’s pretty cool how it is because we are still up there. I think that the brand is still very well looked at and people are looking more at us than we are looking at people. And we have this goal to be the leader in the field. And we have a great team, great people working for the company. The brand people work with young ski people all over the world. They then give us ideas about what we can change. It’s a big team of passionate people and you can feel the spirit. And also looking at the images over the years they are very cool. It’s not something we are ashamed of. Still looking at some scenes from Fire and Ice we can see they are good. They show that we were way out there. And I am grateful to my parents, they let me do this. You know, we had a pretty good system. We always made like 15-minute segments. Over the seven years we compiled the footage to finally bring Fire and Ice together. Obviously, we had to make the main actors stay – John Eaves and Suzy Chaffee were the stars. And you had that powerful song! Yes, thank you. Was it Marietta Waters that sang it? Yeah.
Thank you very much for this delightful interview. On behalf of S’portofino, Joanna Głuszek-Żychlińska interviewed Willy Bogner Jr.

Some facts about Will Bogner Jr: Favourite song: Fire&Ice Ulubiony film: West Side Story Favourite fashion designer: Gianni Versace Favourite Bogner jacket: Uff, that’s difficult. I made a jacket with 17 pockets. When I was filming I needed a lot of stuff. I could put them in the pockets. It’s still cool. Favorite slope and ski-resort: Engadine in St Moritz and Corvatsch Favourite sport (apart from skiing): there are many sports I like at the same level. I like playing football. We had a company team in the States. It was real fun. I like riding a bike, kayaking. I simply like to be spontaneous. Sometimes I just take a bike and go along the river and enjoy the nature.

AMARONE LAND Italian journey starts at the foot of hills surrounding Garda lake where among vineyards and romantic churches there’s a charming region called Valpolicella. The ground where the wine is produced became an inspiration for the latest Chervo collection. Warm, autumn colors represent the beauty of the land that gave birth to Amarone wine. The characters of the tale represent Italian values that make the country exceptional. Time spent in the bosom of nature makes them feel free, stylish and elegant. The collection expresses the dialogue between Chervo values, charisma, luxury and magic that surrounds the scenery. Creative designs and autumn colors express the passion for this exceptional discipline; golf.

HOW TO KEEP FIT IN WINTER Winter is a difficult season to work out. Low temperatures, short days, lack of motivation... It’s worth resisting the temptation of spending winter evenings by the fire and take care of your physical condition even when it’s freezing out there. Check out how the professionals do this!

MAKS SAŁUDA Fully Qualified Golf Professional “In case of golfers, the effect of “winter sleep” is practically nullified thanks to radars and golf simulators. Additionally, you can take advantage of fantastic golf resorts abroad at affordable prices. For others I propose meetings with a motor activity trainer (Beware – personal trainer deals with something totally different!). During the meetings you can prepare for the new season, practice your motor skills, movement functionality, strength and the strategy of recovery. Winter is a perfect time to practice your flexibility, awareness of your body movement and consequently the golf swing. It’s proven! During the winter season I work on these skills so we can breeze into the green.”

I adore practicing sports in winter! Squeaky snow under skis or running shoes, freezing air, vapour coming from your mouth and beautiful, white landscapes have no equal. When I can’t go outside I take my mat and practice yoga by the open window. Sun greetings always make me feel energetic and ready to take challenges. How can you not love winter?”

Riding a bike is the key activity in any triathlete’s life. Training is longer, but less intensive, so choosing proper outfit for low temperatures is of crucial value. I put a few layers of clothing and when the atmospheric conditions are extreme I practice on a Link trainer. Ice swimming ensures better immunity and cycling improves strength. All these activities help me in preparing for the new season and keeping fit in winter.”

SKI TOURING FOR BEGINNERS Ski touring is for the enthusiasts of adrenaline and extreme physical effort as well as for those who prefer slow pace and easier trails. Everyone will find something for themselves which makes ski touring so popular nowadays!

Anyone can try ski touring. Among these who are starting their adventure with this discipline we can distinguish amateurs who learn how to ski in order to try ski touring and these who achieved everything is classic skiing. Some fans of mountain hiking try ski touring when they want to discover, new unknown trails. Winter and outdoor collections feature more and more products designed for ski touring. Below you can find some information and advice from ski instructors from Skitour School. Ski touring is very often confused with freeriding which is off trail skiing. Both disciplines feature spectacular final which is an amazing descent in unspoilt nature, however ski touring puts emphasis on the ascent that is not that important when it comes to freeriding. These who search for strong emotions, we recommend ski mountaineering that is even more advanced and demanding. Even though the descent isn’t always as pleasant as we expected, it always delivers a lot of satisfaction and adrenaline.
How to prepare? Warning – it’s not a discipline for lazy ones! Before you start ski touring, prepare thoroughly. Don’t think that you can get up off the sofa, hire skis and to the mountains. Here are a few tips for ski touring beginners: Good form first! What does it mean in practice? If mountain hiking is relatively easy for you, you will manage! Regular physical activity such as swimming, running, gym, or cardio training will help you to keep fit. Technique is the key to success. Before starting your adventure with ski touring you have to master downhill skiing. Controlling skis and the alpine ski trial or parallel turning are the main skills that you must possess. If you are a good skier, you will manage to practice ski touring without problems. Self-confident daredevils should be informed that ski touring has nothing to do with slalom in perfect snow conditions. Take care of your comfort. Choose proper wear and equipment. A few layers of clothing will provide you with thermal comfort during ascending and descending in any weather conditions. Choosing ski gear is similar to downhill skiing – ski boots and skis have to be adjusted to our weight, skills and expectations, otherwise you will be frustrated instead of satisfied. Practice makes perfect. Before starting ski touring it is necessary to train under the watchful eye of a professional who will give you a lot of advice and technical tips concerning sense of direction, route planning, identifying risks and behaving at the time of avalanche. How to choose underwear? Underwear for ski touring is of crucial value. It ought to be made from quick-drying material that provides ventilation and moisture wicking. Based on my 10 years of experience I can assure that it is really important. After testing many brands, we can recommend X-Bionic underwear made from merino wool that will serve you well in the most extreme conditions. How to choose skis? The most important feature that distinguishes touring skis from downhill skis is the weight. Touring skis can be lighter than downhill skis. Skis for professionals can be as light as a feather – they weigh only several hundred grams! The width of the skis is also very crucial, they should be approximately 60-130 mm wide. As a beginner, choose skis that will serve you well both on various snow
