It was then that she started to also make a presence for herself on social media – gaining an impressive following on YouTube (370K+ subscribers) and Instagram (332K+ followers).
Between being both a model and an influencer, Sanne’s constantly on the move as she commands a photoshoot, hits the runway, or captures snippets from her day for her various social media platforms. Here, we managed to chat with this Dutch beauty to discover everything from life and career highlights to must-have essentials…
