About Joseph:
On Joseph’s about page, they say the brand “modernised women.” The company was founded in the late sixties by hairdresser Joseph Ettedgui, who created a boutique that was “more magazine than clothes shop.”
Today, under the the creative direction of Louise Trotter, Joseph presents a high contemporary ready-to-wear collection with a strong core of luxury essentials.
