Joop sees that it is critical that the Designer can transform it to thin Models as art: “If I’m a bad Designer, and just a boring dress in grey and I didn’t think of it much, then I’ll just take a total large, thin girl with no curves,” says Joop in the Interview. The look then all of a sudden “cool”. “I now have someone clean, the 40, the Statement somehow.“ Unfortunately, it is also so that “the consumers and also the young people in these pictures” have become accustomed to.
