Dutch fashion designer Marianne Huisman (Victorian Dolls) creates designs for the woman who knows her worth and dresses like it. Perfect for a woman who doesn’t just enter a room — she OWNS it. Every step whispers luxury, every glance steals hearts.

Muse Cindy embraces effortless elegance; her dress moves gracefully and refined. The lightweight fabric adds an ethereal touch, delivering a sense of grace and elegance in every movement. Whispering layers of delicate sheer silk, feathered overlays, and a high slit on one side lend the look a dramatic finish.

Cindy Koopmans is an internationally experienced fashion model and catwalk coach with over 30 years of expertise in the global fashion industry. Her journey began at the age of five, when a little girl with almost white-blonde curly hair climbed onto a runway after seeing a live fashion show and instinctively began to imitate the models. That early moment sparked a lifelong passion that continues to this day.

She has worked worldwide in countries including the UK, USA, Italy, France, Germany, Switzerland, Poland, Serbia, China, Japan, and beyond. Alongside her modelling career, she gained experience in ballet, dance, musical theatre, and television, leading to numerous international publications, commercials, and collaborations with well-known names in the industry. She has been actively involved in various international fashion weeks, contributing both on and off the runway — as a model, coach, backstage professional, and music coordinator. Versatile in style and appearance, the fashion industry remains her greatest passion and source of energy.

Ibolya Fülöp, originally from Hungary and living in the Netherlands since 1990, works as an all-round make-up artist and hair stylist on movies, fashion shows, photoshoots, and more.

What drives her is collaboration — always giving her all and delivering high-quality results. This allows actors to completely embody their roles and models to shine on the catwalk.

Her hair and make-up work earned her an award at the 2020 Florence Film Festival and a nomination at the 2020 Venice Film Awards.
