FAAS VÉRONIQUE Founded late 2009/early 2010, FAAS VÉRONIQUE is an artists agency that works in various disciplines of the visual arts. The roster is and will remain smaller than at regular agencies, because the aim is to focus on people who are at the top of their field and give them the most personal attention possible. Similarly, FAAS VÉRONIQUE strongly believes in an equally personal relationship with the clients “their” artists work with. There is no card-index box with massive amount of artists. At FAAS VÉRONIQUE you will find a small distance between client and artist, so most energy will be spent on creating instead of talking. We represent photographers, styling, hair/make-up and creative filmmaker.



Thijs FAAS Started his own agency in 2000, after having worked in various fields of the arts: music, theatre, film. Lured into fashion by his sister Ellis, he didn’t know anyone when he started off, but soon connected to the right people to give the careers of his artists a solid basis – probably more as a personal manager than as a regular agent. For “his” three people, 2009 was the busiest and probably most successful year to date, so reason to start talks with Véronique to join forces.



VÉRONIQUE Beekhuis - Originally a window-dresser for one of Holland’s most renowned department stores, Véronique worked for several types of agencies: modelling, hair & make-up& styling and as photography-producer. She always had the ambition to start her own company, but always hesitated until Thijs talked her into it over a glass of wine. Apart from being there for “her” people 24/7, she really enjoys the networking side of being an agent. Is there anyone who hasn’t met her at one of the numerous fashion gatherings?
