Introducing Simone Sniekers, an Brussels-based fashion editor and creative director whose work unfolds across fashion, art, and culture. Since starting her career at the launch of Harper’s Bazaar Netherlands in 2015, she has developed a practice shaped as much by visual storytelling as by an instinctive curiosity for the world around her.
Fashion remains her point of departure, but inspiration rarely comes from a single discipline. Architecture, travel, visual art, nature, and everyday observations all play an equally important role in the way she approaches image-making. Whether it is the changing quality of light, the rhythm of a city, or an unexpected combination of colours and textures, these moments become part of an ongoing visual archive that quietly informs her work.
Rather than creating images to reflect a trend, she is interested in capturing something more lasting: a sense of atmosphere. Guided by intuition and a carefully developed eye, she builds narratives that feel considered without appearing constructed, where fashion exists in conversation with the wider cultural landscape rather than at its centre.
