From Nostalgic Vision to Modern Icon: The Story Behind Joostricot

Founded in 2016 by Belgian-born stylist and photographer Natalie Joos, Joostricot began as a love letter to the effortless sensuality of the 1970s—a decade when confidence, color, and individuality redefined femininity. Known for her work with The Sartorialist and her influential blog Tales of Endearment, Joos transitioned from behind the camera to the forefront of design, channeling her vibrant visual sensibility into a label that feels both nostalgic and entirely new.

Each Joostricot collection reflects Joos’s fascination with vintage charm and playful sophistication. Drawing inspiration from her travels, the brand weaves together the optimism of California sunlight, the cosmopolitan ease of New York, and the romance of European summers. The result is a wardrobe that feels like a mood—warm, tactile, and alive with color.

Today, Joostricot has evolved into a cult-favorite knitwear label, beloved by the fashion elite and modern muses alike. With its distinctive fusion of retro silhouettes and contemporary polish, the brand has carved a unique place in the modern fashion lexicon—one that celebrates personality over perfection, comfort over conformity.

The Art of the Perfect Knit: Joostricot’s Signature Design Philosophy

At the heart of Joostricot lies a conviction: that knitwear can be as seductive as silk, as expressive as print, and as empowering as tailoring. Joos redefines the boundaries of what knitwear can be—transforming the familiar into something quietly provocative.

Each piece is crafted in luxurious Italian yarns, chosen for their softness, elasticity, and longevity. From slim-fit polo tops and ribbed mini dresses to retro-striped cardigans, the brand’s collections pulse with energy and ease. Colors are never accidental—Joostricot’s signature palettes of sun-faded corals, cherry reds, pistachio greens, and coastal blues evoke an instant mood: fresh, confident, and unapologetically joyful.

The label’s structured yet fluid silhouettes play with body-conscious design while maintaining comfort, embodying Joos’s philosophy of “effortless seduction.” These are clothes that move with you—never constraining, always empowering. Whether paired with vintage denim for a day in the city or with strappy heels for a rooftop soirée, Joostricot’s pieces effortlessly transition from day to night, casual to captivating.

While its knitwear remains its core identity, Joostricot continues to expand into new categories—introducing delicate accessories, capsule collaborations, and experimental textures that challenge expectations. Season after season, the brand delivers collections that are at once familiar and surprising, establishing a design DNA defined by vibrant nostalgia and feminine modernity.

Color, Confidence, and Culture: The Joostricot Lifestyle

Beyond fashion, Joostricot embodies a lifestyle rooted in freedom, femininity, and playfulness. It speaks to women who lead with individuality—those who are equally at ease hosting a gallery opening in Los Angeles or escaping to a villa in Tuscany.

Natalie Joos’s creative world blurs the line between personal narrative and professional artistry. Her passion for vintage fashion and photography has built a community of like-minded women who share her belief that clothing should tell a story. Through limited-edition drops, vintage-inspired campaigns, and global collaborations, Joostricot has become not just a brand, but a cultural touchstone for women who embrace life in full color.

Each collection functions like a diary—filled with the optimism of a sunlit morning and the confidence of a woman who dresses for herself. It’s this intimacy and sincerity that makes Joostricot resonate with its audience. The brand doesn’t chase trends; it celebrates timeless emotions: joy, nostalgia, desire.

With every thread, Joostricot reclaims knitwear from its utilitarian past, elevating it into an expression of modern sensuality. To wear Joostricot is to participate in a creative dialogue between past and present—between craftsmanship and liberation.

Wear Your Story: The Modern Woman’s Joostricot Moment

Joostricot stands as a celebration of self-expression, craftsmanship, and color-driven confidence. It invites every woman to find beauty in simplicity and power in comfort—to tell her own story through the textures and tones she chooses to wear.

From its New York roots, the brand continues to knit a universal narrative of freedom and authenticity, offering pieces that make the wearer feel not just seen, but understood. Every sweater, dress, and co-ord set reflects Joos’s commitment to sustainability, longevity, and emotional connection—values increasingly rare in fast-paced fashion.

At IFCHIC, you’ll find Joostricot’s latest collections—vibrant striped knits, retro-inspired polo dresses, and limited-edition colorways that bring a touch of joy to every wardrobe. Each piece captures what Joostricot does best: translating nostalgia into now, and turning softness into strength.

Let Joostricot remind you that true luxury is not about excess—it’s about ease, identity, and the stories woven into every thread.
