The market of Dutch models is a very successful market. Not only Doutzen and Lara are doing fine year after year, but a whole group of young, fresh and most of the time blond girls are shining on the international runways, ads. and magazines. The most freshly face of today is Melissa Tammerijn. ‘That Dutch power strikes again!’
This Dutch model is starring on the Style.com’s Fall 2010 top ten models list. Of course we are proud of her. Holland is such a small country, but we deliver some really good models, designers, artists and whatever! Melissa had an amazing first runway season with Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Fendi, Versace, Jil Sander, Marni, Missoni , Gianfranco Ferré, Balenciaga, Rick Owens, Lanvin, Celine, Givenchy, Chanel, Miu Miu and of course Dutch hero’s Viktor&Rolf.
This is what style.com wrote about her:
‘This Dutch teen is one of the most promising Calvin Klein Collection exclusives in a while—outshining supers like Stella Tennant and Kirsty Hume is no small feat. A note to bookings editors looking to cut costs: Tammerijn moonlights as a hair and makeup artist.’

Melissa Tammerijn took Catwalk lessons on 2008 from Dijana de Gier. She was a model from Corine’s Agency. After the Catwalk, Melissa went to model convention and almost every agencie gaved her a call back.
Pitty for Dijana who started her agency at 2008 Melissa went to another agency in Holland. There she practice a lot with posing. As you can see, a lot of people worked with Melisssa so she could be the star she now become.
