Wolfgang Joop: "I can not pay the life of a retiree"

About 40 years ago, Wolfgang Joop (73) launched his first collection on the market. Since then he has become an indispensable part of the German fashion scene and the designer has also enjoyed great success on the international scene. In 2014, when Heidi Klum (44) won the jury "The next German top model", his popularity has increased again, especially among young people.

He does not think about quitting

"Television was very important to me, it gave me a new awareness as a sort of pop star, I could set off an alarm in the street, what designer is already experimenting with that?" Joop explained in an interview in the newspaper "Bild". But he can not rest on his success even at almost 74 years old. "I can not afford a retired life," says the fashion designer. "I have lived abroad for a long time without protection, I did not return to Germany until 2003. Before that, I did not care about the guarantee, I've always been one of those who have They have no future, Generation, No Future. That's why I've always lived in the present. "

And often excessive, as Joop revealed in an interview. "I have not missed anything, I come from a time when drugs were known and consumed to feel better, to feel stronger." He did not expect to age. "I saw myself jumping over my altar many nights too long," says the designer, who was right in front of the camera for a television series in several parts. If you can not see the post, click here.
