ABOUT | Marlijn Hoek

Marlijn can never get bored, it seems. She works tirelessly more than 300 days a year for Vogue, Elle and Tommy Hilfiger, among others, since she traded her place in the squad of the Dutch national field field hockey team for her passion for modeling. 

Marlijn lives the phrase "negativity does not exist in my vocabulary."
So it's no surprise that her goal in life is to put a smile on people's faces and make them feel positive. She draws the energy for this from exercising in nature - also with pleasure with her dog. 

Marlijn loves competitions of all kinds and is very keen on sports. It is important to her to listen to her body and to challenge it mentally as well as physically and to treat it well. In doing so, she has learned to listen to herself and understands what makes her happy in life. 

Her role models for this are her parents - her rocks in a storm, the ones who formed the base of who she is and the way she sees the world with their unconditional love.

Fun Fact: Marlijn loves good mayonnaise, it's in almost everything on her menu.
