About

I’m Katja Donders, a freelance personal stylist and designer from The Netherlands. I work with freelance with private clients, fashion brands and as a tutor in fashion & styling. I design & develop concepts for fashion, accessories, and fashion-related graphics.

My philosophy is to help people shine. The best part of my job is communicating with and listening to my clients, filtering their wishes, and analyzing the most suitable fit. I enjoy surprising clients with unexpected material and style combinations, always keeping them at the center. At Zalon by Zalando I styled both women and men, ages 18 to 65, in sizes 34 to 58.
