Wilhelm Hermann Björn Bogner Jr. (born 23 January 1942) is a German fashion designer, film maker and former alpine ski racer.

[3] Bogner competed for the United Team of Germany shortly after turning 18 at the 1960 Winter Olympics in Squaw Valley.

Bogner was a familiar face in the international ski scene until 1967, when he decided to concentrate his efforts on film-making.

[8][9] Initially acquitted,[10] the prosecution later won a conviction on appeal, of manslaughter by negligence,[11] and Bogner received a two-month suspended sentence.

He established an American manufacturing plant in Newport, Vermont in 1973 and debuted a tennis fashion line in 1974.
