Style without limits

His name is synonymous with style and trend awareness - Wolfgang Joop . We met the design icon for a short conversation about fashionable Gos and No-Gos in Hamburg.

Wolfgang Joop can look back on more than three decades in the fashion world. Of course, from someone like him, who has witnessed the developments and trends of the fashion scene so closely, we wanted to know if there was someone whose style impressed him in the long term. In the current celebrity world, Joop does not leave a good hair, to " hardworking and cramped or strange " he finds the most styling.

In the past, however, he will find it: Marlene Dietrich, the "blue angel", has left an impression with the star designer - because she has "simply mixed masculine clothing, elegant clothing, sporty clothing in a cool way".

Even Joop himself likes to play with different styles : in response to our question as to what his worst fashion sin was, he replies succinctly, "actually every day some fashion sin" to commit, "on a whim and play instinct".

That sounds a lot more tolerant than colleague Karl Lagerfeld, who always strikes with striking slogans, and denies jogging wearers equal to completely in control of their lives? We asked Joop to complete the famous quote in his favor:

"Who wears jogging pants, the ... hopefully carries high heels."

Jogging pants and high heels, apparently there is nothing that upsets the star designer. Joop has his own opinion on fashion myths: "Sinning is a pretty tough word, it means breaking a taboo, and in fashion there are no taboos ."
