FROM A GERMAN ICON TO AN INTERNATIONAL LIFESTYLE BRAND


JOOP! The Story

JOOP! has developed from a celebrated German icon label to one of the most important, international fashion and lifestyle brands over the course of its history.

The company’s history starts with: Wolfgang Joop, Illustrator and designer. Due to his personality, creative talent and his fine sense of zeitgeist tendencies he soon gives the brand an unmistakeable face thereby laying the foundation for building a successful fashion and licence business. As early as 1978 Wolfgang Joop presented the first collection under his name in New York.

The transition to the 80s marks the beginning of an unparalleled success story. The successful launch of the prêt-à-porter lines for men and women is soon followed by first fragrance creations. “JOOP! Femme” becomes Germany’s best-selling fragrance in 1987. From the 90s JOOP! consistently develops its brand into a successful lifestyle empire offering products for every walk of life – ranging from eyewear, watches and fashion to furniture.

2001 sees Wolfgang Joop leave the company. Initially, the brand is split into three equal shares held by the Holy family (Strellson AG, Windsor), Egana Goldpfeil and the cosmetics group Coty Lancaster but then the Holy Fashion Group takes over as a sole owner of JOOP! GmbH in 2008.

The JOOP! brand stands for self-confident extravagance:

Thanks to its clear market positioning and the high recognition levels for the label JOOP! is the designer brand of German origin in the premium segment. JOOP! targets self-assured, individual women and men with a strong flair for fashion, design and urban lifestyle. All products are synonymous with high quality, aspirational design and very good value for money. The brand delivers glamour and sex appeal but always remains wearable. The hallmark of JOOP! is an accomplished fusion of modernity with authenticity. Always with the inimitable design signature of JOOP!

JOOP! stands for an urban attitude reflecting a fascination for the prevailing zeitgeist and the lifestyle of electrifying metropolises. The close ties with Berlin symbolise the brand’s German roots while expressing our cosmopolitan, open-minded stance.

JOOP! addresses women and men who wish to show off their pronounced sense of style, personality and sex appeal to their best advantage by multiply combinable items. The collection is broken down into two segments:

JOOP! Collection stands for a look ensuring you are perfectly dressed for just about every occasion. Be it on the professional stage or the proverbial “red carpet”. The outfits are modern, individual and always have a touch of extravagance – optimally expressing the wearer’s style in every situation.

JOOP! Casual stands for a casualised interpretation of the clear JOOP! signature. Casual is deliberately relaxed, authentic and yet highly aspirational.
