What to know about Joie
The blouse carries the line
Silk blouses and soft tops are the core product; dresses, knitwear, jumpsuits and leather jackets fill in around them rather than lead.
Relaxed California, not sharp tailoring
The house language is easy separates meant to work with denim, in neutrals, florals and animal prints instead of structured contemporary suiting.
The namesake designer left in 2004
Joie Rucker co-founded the label in 2001 but departed three years later; Serge Azria has directed design since, from a downtown Los Angeles base.
