FAIRYTALE BOOK
“Kroontje - a princess looking for her crown.”.
A story inspired by the words of my creative grandfather: my greatest inspiration and the one who gifted me my creative crown. But what happens when you lose your crown, and you can no longer ask your grandfather where you left it? You have to go find it yourself. And that’s exactly what I did. I set out on a journey, traveling through Indonesia, Thailand, Japan, Nepal, and India, searching for my crown.
A personal story where I share my emotions and thoughts. More than ready to share this side of myself with the world :)
Concept, photography, film, design all done by me.
FAIRYTALE BOOK. CHAPTER 1 & 2: THAILAND, INDONESIA & JAPAN
“KROONTJE - a princess looking for her crown.”
A story inspired by the words of my creative grandfather: my greatest inspiration and the one who gifted me my creative crown. But what happens when you lose your crown, and you can no longer ask your grandfather where you left it? You have to go find it yourself. And that’s exactly what I did.
“In the first two chapters, the princess set out on a journey through Indonesia, Thailand, and Japan in search of her crown. From feeling extremely empty without her crown to being flooded with a never-ending stream of inspiration, the princess grew closer and closer to the light within herself, following the path of those who had come before her: the wise ones.”

FAIRYTALE BOOK. CHAPTER 3: NEPAL & INDIA
“KROONTJE - a princess looking for her crown.”
A story inspired by the words of my creative grandfather: my greatest inspiration and the one who gifted me my creative crown. But what happens when you lose your crown, and you can no longer ask your grandfather where you left it? You have to go find it yourself. And that’s exactly what I did. I set out on a journey, traveling through Indonesia, Thailand, Japan, Nepal, and India, searching for my crown.
In the third chapter, the princess continued her journey through Nepal and India, where she finally found her crown.
“Her journey began with her grandfather’s words, and it ended with them. As he once said, “The key to life is creating, finding joy, and loving what you do.” With those words in mind, she stopped searching. She found her crown, not in the world, but within herself, the place where it had always been and would never fade. Just as her grandfather had always said, “The only thing you need in life is a crown pen.” With it, she could create anything she wished, even her own crown.
And, like all good fairytales, she lived happily ever after.”

@parisfashionweek 🎀 PINK STYLING ROOM 2.0
My very own pink styling room in the heart of Paris during Paris Fashion Week.. A suite filled with all my handmade and customized pieces, overlooking the Seine and the Eiffel Tower…😭 It sounds like one of my childhood dreams, but it actually became reality.
As a little girl, you could always find me in my pink room; spending hours painting my nails with tiny rhinestones, sewing my own clothes on my glittery pink sewing machine. I never imagined I’d one day turn that into my job..🥺
I got to style all these beautiful women in my own creations and I’m so so so thankful to @welcometowink and @brutalfruitza for this crazy opportunity, it truly felt like my inner little girl’s dream came true. 💝
