Isabelle Viaene

Co-owner Som-Belle - Thelma & Louise Antwerp

I had the honor and pleasure to work with Sanneke for almost three years. As co-owner of "Thelma & Louise" I was responsible for the complete development of the collection together with Sanneke. I soon discovered that Sanneke is a real "fashion professional". She is a real designer but with a healthy commercial twist. Well versed. Sanneke quickly senses how a collection is put together and carefully finds out who the target group is, what is expected in a certain collection... It was a pleasure to work with Sanneke. Sanneke takes initiative, is eager to learn, absorbs things very quickly, is flexible, efficient, reliable, organized and very discreet! (you can't say that about every freelancer!) . In addition, she has very good technical knowledge and a nose for beautiful fabrics / prints. In addition to all those professional gifts, Sanneke is also a very nice colleague from whom I have learned a lot myself!

Joost Balthazar Onderwaater

Founder & Maniging Director Deserious INsty!e Fashion Group B.V.

Sonika Fashion Design & Production has helped me in a very pleasant and expert way with the "sourcing" of producers in Turkey (Istanbul area). In addition, we (deseriously) could never have finished the first collection on time without Sanneke's expertise. I have therefore come to know Sanneke as someone who is 200% committed and who knows how to meet the deadline (with or without working through the night). In short, a winner to work with!

Philippe Van Laer
