With 2 small kids running around and a busy job in a corporate petrochemical company, I had zero time and/or energy to get my wardrobe on point.
After two pregnancy’s, I had just few items that were fitting, where acceptable for my job, and where I felt OK-ish in. There was no happy feeling when opening my closet and I never found great joy in my outfits. No stains were a plus.
BUT! I really love the fine things in life, like art, flowers and a nice interior. So I wholeheartedly knew that having an outfit that I love was going to boost my energy and mood.
And it had to be practical and effortless as well.
When I lost my job during covid, I started experimenting, read books, followed a low key course on capsule wardrobes. And whoops, I went into the rabbit hole.
After an intense live training to become a colour consultant and a 1:1 apprenticeship of an established personal stylist, I am now fully equipped to deliver the best for you too. Making my business truly passion based.
It was like a door to a new world opened to me, one that always was there, but I did not know existed. I am born to work with colours, create outfits and make clients feel like a superwomen who can tackle the presentation – or just the social event after work. It is the combination of creativity, craftsmanship and connecting with my clients that are a 100% match.
And because I know what a silent super power it is to have a wardrobe you love, especially as a working mom, I decided to focus my business on you!
You are doing an amazing job in raising humans and working, and I want to give you this mood & energy booster to make your life so much more easy and enjoyable 🙂
"Great personal style will boost you to do great things in the world, like raising humans and working"
Marianne De Gunst Visser
Style is for everyone, you know yours or you get to know it and you will have fun with it for a life time.
Who wants to be pretty should have fun, not pain; so enjoy your body as it is now, wear the clothes you like and don’t wear heals if you really hate the discomfort. Enough other options to feel feminine.
You could find me in a boiler suit before it became fashionable. I worked 11 years as a process engineer in the Petrochemical corporate industry. And I still like jumpsuits! I am an engineer, so I like to puzzle with a wardrobe to find items that could glue the outfit together, or define different outfit combinations. In the fashion branch, I am down to earth and prefer good quality and sustainable made clothes over high end fashion brands.
If I have to chose between a red pretty and thin coat and a black shapeless and thick one, at -10 deg c, I will chose the black one. Comfort is my highest priority in clothing.
I always had the skill to remember every outfit someone is wearing. So enough inspiration based on street style is see around me!
Also want to have a “WOW that is me!” style?

Her color analysis is eye-opening and she has a great eye for what looks best on people. When I had trouble matching favorite statement pieces, she suggested colors I never would have considered but look amazing and complete the look better than I could have figured out myself. I appreciate that she also understands the roles of working in the corporate world, being an entrepreneur and being a mom - she understands the different roles we dress for and helps to develop a wardrobe that reflects our personalities AND fits the demands of each person's lifestyle. Very worth the investment, since she will save you time and $$ helping you to buy what you need and love instead of too many items that don't quite work. And to help streamline your current wardrobe and create outfits out of what you have.Trustindex verifieert dat de oorspronkelijke bron van de recensie Google is.Anja Sz.2024-02-23I went to Marianne for a colour analysis few weeks ago, because I always struggled with feeling "off" in most clothes and makeup colours but couldn't figure out why. Marianne was very warm, welcoming and extremely competent. I told her about my issues with the colours and we categorised some clothes I brought with me to the seasons and then started with the draping. I could clearly see the differences in my skin with each drape and got all my best colours in a palette to take with me. The resulting palette was really surprising to me because my wardrobe colours were very different - which explains why I always felt so weird in my clothes. In my palette I feel so much more confident because my skin looks a lot brighter and more even. Also I noticed when shopping last time it went a lot faster because I wasn't in this indecisive situation whether to buy something that I now know doesn't suit me. I can definitely recommend going to Marianne for the analysis ❤️Trustindex verifieert dat de oorspronkelijke bron van de recensie Google is.Kijai Corbett2024-01-28I attended Marianne's Color & Style workshop last weekend and had a great time learning more about color theory. Marianne was lovely - highly skilled in color analysis/style coaching and supportive in responding to our questions and common challenges regarding our clothing/bodies/self-esteem. As an expat new to Germany, I also found it really helpful that Marianne was able to conduct the workshop in English.Trustindex verifieert dat de oorspronkelijke bron van de recensie Google is.Beril I.2024-01-10(German below) I did a wardrobe edit with Marianne. My wardrobe, like many others wardrobe, is full with things that I wear rarely. I wanted to have a wardrobe that is not very crowded but full with things that fit me nicely. With the wardrobe edit, we filtered out the things that do not fit me, she also showed me how I can combine some pieces that I bought but never knew how to wear. She found my body type, showed my tricks how to hide the parts I don’t like and highlight the parts I like. We also did a color session. Marianne helped me to find the color palette that fits me the best as well. Although I knew a couple of colors that suited me, she found many more that I never tried. It was also very useful to see the ones that do not fit me well at all. I will be able to avoid unnecessary purchases from now on. I will be now able to filter the things that don’t match me and moreover, it will be easier to create outfits since the pieces in my wardrobe will be in harmony. The color palette Marianne gives is much more detailed and tailored to the individual compared to what one will find on the internet websites. Also in the process, she taught me how to train my eye for finding the pieces that fit me, so I will do a much better job in shopping! I highly recommend Marianne! Ich habe mit Marianne einen Wardrobe Edit gemacht. Mein Kleiderschrank ist, wie der vieler anderer, voll mit Dingen, die ich selten trage. Ich wollte einen Kleiderschrank haben, der nicht sehr voll ist, aber voll mit Dingen, die mir gut passen. Mit dem Wardrobe-Edit haben wir die Dinge herausgefiltert, die mir nicht passen, und sie hat mir auch gezeigt, wie ich einige Teile kombinieren kann, die ich gekauft habe, aber nie wusste, wie ich sie tragen soll. Sie fand meinen Körpertyp heraus und zeigte mir Tricks, wie ich die Teile, die ich nicht mag, verstecken und die Teile, die ich mag, betonen kann. Wir haben auch eine Farbsitzung gemacht. Marianne half mir auch dabei, die Farbpalette zu finden, die am besten zu mir passt. Obwohl ich schon einige Farben kannte, die zu mir passten, fand sie viele weitere, die ich nie ausprobiert hatte. Es war auch sehr hilfreich, die Farben zu sehen, die mir überhaupt nicht stehen. Von nun an werde ich unnötige Käufe vermeiden können. Ich kann jetzt die Dinge herausfiltern, die nicht zu mir passen, und außerdem wird es einfacher sein, Outfits zu kreieren, da die Teile in meinem Kleiderschrank miteinander harmonieren werden. Die Farbpalette, die Marianne vorschlägt, ist viel detaillierter und individueller als das, was man auf den Internetseiten findet. Außerdem hat sie mir beigebracht, wie ich mein Auge schulen kann, um die Teile zu finden, die zu mir passen, so dass ich jetzt viel besser einkaufen kann! Ich kann Marianne nur empfehlen!Trustindex verifieert dat de oorspronkelijke bron van de recensie Google is.Kate Sopee2023-12-11Marianne is very professional and friendly. I have a lot of fun during the session and surprises to find out the special colours that really suits me. Would recommend the service to my friends or anyone who interested. Thank you so much for your time, Marianne 😀Trustindex verifieert dat de oorspronkelijke bron van de recensie Google is.Mijke Akkermans2023-11-18Doing a colour analysis with Marianne has been one of the best investments in myself I've ever done. In a personal and welcoming setting she uses various drapes to pick the colours that suit you best and explains why this is the case. The passport I've received after the analysis has been super useful, as I've already thrifted some pieces in my best colours for a recent holiday capsule and am now able to easily spot the colours in my season(s) in clothing stores. This makes shopping much more relaxing and fun, and it is great knowing which colours make me 'shine'. I highly recommend choosing Marianne for a colour analysis!Trustindex verifieert dat de oorspronkelijke bron van de recensie Google is.Nadine Schwarz2023-11-16I recently had a color analysis session with Marie and it was truly enlightening. She expertly assessed my undertones and created a personalised palette for me that complements my features. I left happy and confident that whatever I will buy from now on will suit my complexion and brighten my face. I am extremely pleased with Marie’s services and expertise. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking certainty about the colors that work best for them.Trustindex verifieert dat de oorspronkelijke bron van de recensie Google is.Amanda Deverich2023-10-26Time and money well spent to build confidence and efficiency in building a wardrobe. Now I know what works and what doesn't. Sadly, some current favorites will have to go, but I can feel good knowing the replacements will look even better. Love my little take away book of colors created just for me. Can't wait to bring it shopping. Thanks, Marie!Trustindex verifieert dat de oorspronkelijke bron van de recensie Google is.Sophie van de Rakt2023-08-16I booked an color analysis here. Marianne was friendly, professional and funny. I had a great time! We created my own color passport, which is super usefull. It was a cool gift to myself! I have already recommended it to some friends. 😊Trustindex verifieert dat de oorspronkelijke bron van de recensie Google is.Hannah Henne2023-08-15Schon immer wollte ich einmal eine Farbberatung haben und bin zum Glück auf Marianne gestoßen. Es war ein sehr inspirierender Vormittag und ein spannender Prozess zu sehen, wie Farben mein Aussehen beeinflussen. Marianne hat sich sehr viel Zeit für mich genommen und ich konnte in der Session meln Niederländisch trainieren - super leuk!
