Meet the team
Maaike
Hobbies: Cooking is pure relaxation for me — I enjoy good food and drinks with close friends. On holiday, I love discovering new places, and my biggest hobby? My grandchildren, of course!
Best part of my job: Sales! I get so much energy from seeing customers get excited. That’s what I do it for!
Favorite brand: I have a favorite for every occasion. Casual? Then I go for Cambio or Lisa Yang. Do I have a party? Absolutely Elisabetta Franchi!
Hotspots in Venlo: For delicious food, I love going to Boca. And if you want to enjoy a beautiful view over the harbor of Venlo? Then De Werf is highly recommended.
Favorite garment: I prefer wearing a dress — the kind you put on and immediately think: yes, this is right! With a flip-flop for casual or a sexy heel for that extra bit of flair.
Life motto: Have a positive outlook on life! You’re not only a nicer person, but you also achieve much more.
Styling tip: The right outfit makes you shine from the inside and out. If you feel good, it shows — so pay attention to it.
Lisa
Hobbies: Traveling is definitely number one! Discovering new places gives me endless energy. Besides that, fashion is a big passion — for me, it’s a way to be creative and express myself. But the most important thing is my family, with my daughter Romee at the center. Together we enjoy quality time, fun, and small adventures. I love a social life full of surprises, preferably with good friends, music, great food, and a good glass of wine.
Best part of my job: The variety! From buying new collections to putting together outfits that make customers shine, and organizing inspiring events—I love every part of it.
Favorite brand: Oof, tough choice… I love so many styles! But if I have to name two right now: Forte_Forte and Ulla Johnson remain timeless favorites.
Hotspots in Venlo: For delicious food I go to Boca, and for a perfect cocktail to Dorstig. Staying the night? Do it in style at the Theaterhotel. Going out!? Then I definitely go to Alex&Suus; CinCin is a cozy champagne bar where, besides great food, you can also have a fantastic night out.
Favorite garment: Currently, it’s really everything from Lisa Yang. I’m a sucker for comfortable, timeless materials. Cashmere has truly won my heart.
Life motto: DO IT! Because money returns, time doesn’t.
Styling tip: Wear it with flair! Whatever you wear, wear it with confidence.
Anita
Hobbies: Traveling and sports! I like to be active, and fashion is also an absolute passion of mine.
Best part of your job: Constantly working among beautiful things and being able to help people find the right look!
Fave brand: IBANA and ARMA are real favorites because I’m a fan of leather! I like to mix this style with items from Iro, Lisa Yang, and shoes from Toral.
Hotspots in Venlo: I really love visiting De Werf! A lovely place to sit by the Maas.
Fave garment: I completely agree with Lisa here! I love wearing my items from Lisa Yang.
Life motto: Focus on health, not on weight!
Styling tip: You can easily make any basic outfit special by adding a cool belt, a unique shoe, or a striking earring. Not much more is needed.
Jackie
Hobbies: For me, fashion is more than just clothes — it’s a way to express myself. I love everything related to fashion, from following trends to creating new looks. Besides that, I fully enjoy life with my son and boyfriend; going out together, laughing, and enjoying the small moments.
Best part of my job: Modeling! I get to wear the most beautiful outfits, show our collections during fashion shows, and help with content for our social media. It’s great to be part of the creative process and to convey the atmosphere of IN THE MOOD.
Favorite brand: Without a doubt Elisabetta Franchi — the fit is perfect for my height, and the style is feminine, powerful, and elegant.
Hotspots in Venlo: A coffee at Milk&Cookies or lunch at Bij de buren is always a good idea. And for a night out with friends, I love going to CinCin.
Favorite garment: A well-fitting suit or a long dress. Stylish, comfortable, and totally my thing!
Life motto: Confidence is the best outfit — rock it and own it!
Styling tip: Dare to show yourself! Fashion is about expression and feeling. If you feel good in what you wear, you’ll radiate that too.
