So, who are we? Glad you asked!
To be honest, we are not yet sure about that either haha, but what we do know is that we have an enormous passion for our profession. We are born optimists and love the beautiful things in life. And certainly for the classics or must-haves in your wardrobe: you will find a lot of Breton stripes and other never-out-of-fashion items with us.
Anyway, credits voor the usual suspects...
ABOUT US
NICOLE HOEFSMIT
Creative director & founder.
That's me. Right there in the middle. Mother of three beautiful children and entrepreneur. Lover of sports, healthy and tasty food and of course a good glass of wine now and then. (To be honest, I started exercising more so I could keep drinking my wine..;-)) . Besides all the regular things that come with running a business, I also try on all the samples. FYI, I'm 173cm tall, wear a size L/40 and have a cup D.
KIM VAN KLAVEREN
Photographer, designer and partner
That Kim (left) and I are a match, we at PLEIN PUBLIQUE have known for a while now, but it was time to make it official. We have been working together for more than three years and we both have the same mindset: It has to be good and it has to be better 😜. Together we make PLEIN PUBLIQUE more and more beautiful and bigger. Kim is the ultimate brainstorming partner and takes care of everything photography related with great talent and skill. So time for autographs, because Kim is now a partner at PLEIN PUBLIQUE 🎉 Hurray!
ANNE SMEETS
Marketing & Brand relations
Kim & I have a lot of ideas. By which we mean a whole lot of ideas that all have to be straightened out and organized as they have to become campaigns. Getting the ideas in working order is no joke. Our top marketing girl Anne can do this like no other. Or in other words... Anne is the one that actually makes sure eveyone does their job 😅.
LONNEKE BARTELS
Customerservice & supplychain assistant
Returns, questions, complaints or just a compliment? Anything sent to the hello[@]pleinpublique.com email address is received by Lonneke (left). She is fast, accurate, tireless and, also very important, fun! Lonneke works behind the scenes at customer service and helps with purchasing. She takes a lot of work off your hands and is therefore not allowed to go on holiday ;-).
MARTINE VAN STAVEREN
Virtual Assistant
Martine(right) is the luckiest one of us all. She works and lives in Bali. Yes, we are jealous..;-). But we are especially happy with her wonderful down-to-earthness and ambition to learn as much as possible. She doesn't shy away from the technical aspects of the website and she always double-checks the newsletters.
KELLY ELENA
Make-up artist & hairstylist
Every month we photograph the new items from the collection and every month Kelly (left) is there too. As an all-round make-up artist and hairdresser she always gives the models beautiful make-up and makes sure that their hair stays in place. Kelly also did the make-up and hair for the team's photos you see here. Don't we look amazing?
NIKKY DRIESSEN
PR & SOCIAL MEDIA
Everything in style? Making sure everything is beautiful and always enthusiastic? Nikky does not know the word 'No'. For a while now she has been taking care of the social media and has contacts with all the PR people around us, making sure everyone is happy.
ROBIN BUZINK
E-commerce marketer
Facebook & google marketing. Maybe you have noticed... once you've been to our site, we still want to let you know how nice we are by 'spamming' you with advertisements. We don't want you to forget us just like that.. sob sob.. But Robin, with fiery passion, makes sure that you won't (-;.
