OMG, Joops still designs? And why is he showing in New York, isn't he based in Germany? Or do I need to get my Joop facts straight?

It's his first collection back after major licensing problems. This is a new collection and was quite great at that. It was shown in the tents in Bryant Park. I'm gld he came to NYC. Thanks Mike!

thank you for posting your pictures from the show, mike. the second dress you posted is special - it's very beautiful and unique.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I read something about him making some rather rude comments about Sept. 11 and that is why he stopped showing, or part of the reason...

if he is based in Germany his comment should probably be taken in a socialist context rather than in the context of al-Qaeda fundamentalism...

however...

Thanks for the replies! The show was quite fun; I especially liked the tailored pieces he had, women always look good in a tailored blazer. Also, the more feminine pieces like his sequined dresses looked very elegent.

I tried to get a pic of Joop himself. He looked cool in a deconstructed sportcoat, sewn up haphazardly along the side vents, with a skull, silkscreen on the back.
