JOHAN LINDEBERG RETURNS TO NAMESAKE BRAND

J.Lindeberg founder Johan Lindeberg will be returning to the company in the role of creative consultant, effective January 2016. He will be based in New York and work closely with the company’s Stockholm headquarters.

“For some time now, we have been in a strong growth period, doubling our turnover over the last three years,” said J.Lindeberg CEO Stefan Engström. “Soon, we will be going into 20 years of business, and with this solid foundation we are very excited about having Johan back at the company to contribute to the next step of the brand’s growth. It feels like a natural step to close the circle with the re-entrance of the founder of the brand in our journey to becoming the leading international lifestyle brand from Stockholm.”

Johan Lindeberg founded J.Lindeberg in 1996 with a vision to challenge the establishment of the fashion and golf industries. After 11 years at the company, Johan decided to part in 2007.

“I’ve seen the company grow and evolve over these years and was really grateful to Stefan to have initiated my return,” said Lindeberg. “Of course, the decision to re-open a previous relationship is never an easy one. But the more we talked the more it made sense. It feels like the right time to put our experiences together, to bring J.Lindeberg into the next phase, as one strong international voice.”
