VISION To become an international fast-growing brand between art and fashion with a unique design and a personalized luxury-class craftmanship for men and women, WUNDERKIND does not follow external trends. Wolfgang Joop s signature style is defined by a subtle play between structured, tailored, masculine pieces and soft, fluid, feminine shapes in sensual, luxurious fabrics, which are treated with unexpected and innovative techniques. The line focuses on the highest level of craftsmanship and pays careful attention to detail. WUNDERKIND sets trends itself, it celebrates individualism.
