The Way I Dress | Pontus Björkman

The head of brand development at stylish Swedish brand Acne, Mr Pontus Björkman, tells MR PORTER how he makes his style choices.
Based in Stockholm, Mr Pontus Björkman, is the head of brand development at Acne. He has witnessed first hand how Swedish style has won over the world in the years since Acne began with nothing more than a few pairs of jeans. When it comes to his personal style, Mr Björkman's main rule is to dress his age, favouring a sleek look composed of high-quality jeans and T-shirts (both specialities at Acne). Discover more of his views on style by watching the film above.

[@scdobserver835]

Did he say he likes to dress his age? LOL

[@rud1gga155]

Good one

[@bonesmaan]

"Otherwise I would say, I would never buy a house with a round window. I really really hate houses with round windows!" As an architect, I like this guy!

[@ganjahighway]

love the lanvin sneakers.

[@mstelios4259]

Dresses his age with a t-shirt and sneakers? Dude you do not look like 15?

[@MauCordobaMau]

This people are always so eccentric. "I would never buy a house with round windows". I, however, really like his idea of cloth being able to give you energy or take it away.

[@DRACOCHIEF]

This is my type of guy. Honest, genuine, and wholesome. While also knowing what he likes to wear. Very nice interview.

[@ishmealoj]

he seems like a genuine, honest guy

[@fastcougar3200]

a genuine, honest gay

[@quaro900]

My dream shoes right there! Hope I can get my hands on them one day!

[@Latexlaila]

I just love this guy! I can't hate something from Acne

“ i wasn’t like other kids with dreams of being and astronaut. I was always more interested in what bark was made of.”

[@t.l.knight8005]

The only other person who I remember seeing wearing a Jacket and a T Shirt was Eric Braeden who plays Victor Newman on The Young & The Restless. It was one of the very few times he didn't wear a Shirt & Tie but he still commanded status and power. It was the closest thing to Business Casual that he wore but it worked.

[@TheEwe90]

So inspirational!

[@xXGaYxnAmEXx]

those trousers are gorgeous

[@axlumar]

love that lanvin

[@xtradelite903]

It’s actually quite practical, and minimalist, the Star Wars look. A-fantastic!

[@hanifmacca]

I loved that comment too. very profound.

[@quaro900]

Yes!

[@joe199479]

The Lanvin shoes and incredible

[@PixelLighthouse]

Bit late to be asking questions but does anyone know the brand of the trousers he's wearing or a brand that has a similar fit and cut.
Thanks -Sam

[@803DONYELLE]

He looks really good!! I love a man that looks good!

[@venomsneak]

Bjorkman's voice on windows and architecture really vibe with my own opinions. I enjoyed his sneakers a bit too though

[@malmqvist11]

Daniele Alessandrini. Think they were around in '09-10. Absolutely one of the finest sneakers ever made. Had them in a store I ended up working in, but none left in my size and they haven't been reissued since... Such a shame!

[@w4r7]

do not, i repeat, do not go near this man with ugly shoes and a round a windowed home! less is more and this gent has perfected his personal style effortlessly. bravo, kind sir.

[@scottcoleman2687]

Love the overcoat. What label is it?

[@williamsmith91]

Acne Studios ;)

[@Latexlaila]

Yes.

[@ulazuhra]

omg his house is da bomb

[@Latexlaila]

[@babyjoker0000]

Really dope outfit, until the jacket...

[@nmalik8746]

trench coat brand name anyone please ?

[@ronchua3031]

Glad to see obi-wan is doing well as a force ghost.

[@peskypossum58]

Dressing your age? Bollocks! Wear what you feel like and what looks good on you.

[@thevisionistofficial]

i like his voice lol

[@omanriqu]

love his sneakers, are they lanvin?

[@sk8iny0]

yep

[@4youk]

yeh they are

[@deecee2429]

I wouldn't being his valet or gentlemen's gentlemen! "Need help putting your socks on, sir?!"

[@rob4643]

Classic Cool

[@othnielting]

I'd live in his house

[@kazora1001]

Wow 7 years old?

[@victorbosselmann3081]

I hate people not dressing their age... 40 year old wearing sneakers

[@sleepswithnopillow8413]

I’m going to get a house with a round window

[@martinmartinmartinmartinmarti]

dem lanvins

[@mrplaywith]

Why those he americanize his name? His name is pronounced björk not bjork. In a way its kinda disrespectful to his name, pronouncing it like that just to make others feel more comfortable with it. A typical thing swedes does

[@mrplaywith]

Rykal H Yes, like Byork, with a low sound O

[@mrbelinus]

This guy is like a girl into a guy's body.

[@GrandMaMaYT]

He is picky but I don't see any feminine traits on him

[@ultimateblong]

You must be attracted to him if that's the case.

[@joshuahomme1]

lol. vacuous dandy.

[@lvst_nghtlonnie1877]

WTF is he talking about wit the sucking of energy!?

[@astroboirap]

he's drowing in that fucking awful overcoat

[@MrAtaguas]

slightly oversized overcoat in my opinion although if he did wear a neater fitting coat i would have said my man needs to do some crunches lol don't wanna sound like an asshole but i guess It was inevitable

[@vincegredo]

Where the hell do they get these guys, this fella is leaving his house looking like a trash bag

[@lalchimiste9717]

meh

[@atharvadayal227]

Do a video on the way I dress with Kanye west.

[@walter4919]

horrendo!!!! especialmente esos tatuajes espantosos!!!!

[@Kevinjandro]

Ewww tats 👈🏾😦👀👀

[@TheCameltotem]

What a boring outfit, looks just like everyone else

[@itsweb1584]

suits are boring and so is dressing your age. wear what makes you happy.

[@Disinf3ctant]

That coat is awful.
