Lin Dan offers his own clothing line

SHANGHAI: Lin Dan?s reputation in the world of badminton is unquestionable.

And riding on his greatness in the sport, Li Ning sports apparel company, which sponsors the Chinese national badminton team, has launched a series of fashion apparel dedicated to him.


Lin Dan easily claimed the men?s singles crown.
Lin Dan Rebel Collection, which features street style fashion clothing worn by the superstar, will hit Li Ning stores soon.

?We don?t want this new series of fashion wear to be too associated with Lin Dan on court. It?s targeted for those who love Lin Dan and the public so that they can choose to wear these casual clothes,? said Lin Dan after winning the China Open title here yesterday.

The defending champion won his fourth Super Series tournament of the year with a convincing 21-12, 21-12 win over Denmark?s Jan O Jorgensen.

Lin Dan added that he was providing Li Ning designers with his feedback on how to make the designs for the new products more appealing.

?It?s good to have communication with these good designers. We are after all young people and have different thoughts and ideas on the products,? said Lin Dan, who had worn the new black jacket with a silver LD logo on it during the tournament.

However, the Olympic and three-time world champion said that his job was still a badminton player and not a celebrity.
