Wolfgang Joop was born in Potsdam, Germany, in 1944. After completing high school he studied art, art education, and the psychology of advertising at various schools in Germany. Together with his later wife Karin, Joop took part in a fashion competition thrown by Constanze magazine in 1970, in which the two swept all three awards. Till 1971 Joop worked as a fashion editor, after which he designed for numerous fashion companies in Italy, France, and Germany until 1980.
In 1982 Joop presented his own prêt-a-porter women’s collection and in 1985 his first men’s collection. Additionally he taught classes in design at Berlin’s college of arts, which conferred an honorary professorship on him in 1987. In the same year, Joop founded JOOP!, in which he held shares until 2001. During the 1990s, Joop also designed dinnerware pieces for Meißener porcelain manufacturers.
