Known for the JOOP! brand, which he left in 2001, Wolfgang Joop enjoyed his first international success in 1978 with a fur collection. With Wunderkind, he developed a more personal and artistic approach to luxury ready-to-wear, combining haute couture craftsmanship with bold, sculptural cuts. The house began showing in New York in 2004, then at Paris Fashion Week from 2006; it is renowned for the precision of its tailoring and its spectacular silhouettes, as evidenced by the overlapping pointed panels on this coat.
