Anne-Marie Mueller / 22STARS Ambassador: Germany and Switzerland

Anne2 Anne is a very sporty person. In the Summer months she loves to go hiking and to go swimming in the sea and during the Winter months you find her on skis in the Swiss Alps. She also loves to be in the sky! Since about 30 years she is flying in a small sports airplane. Anne travels a lot, but she has never been to Africa. So this continent is very high on her bucket list! Especially after she came in contact with 22STARS and read the stories about our designers and saw pictures of the beautiful countryside of Uganda. Anne’s favourite 22STARS necklace is the orange Simba necklace, although she has also many other ones that she likes. Anne loves the fact that our jewellery is so easy to wear and can be worn casual and chique.

Lianne Schulte / 22STARS Ambassador: The Hague (NL)

Lianne Schulte
Lianne Schulte is a model at Maxmodels and works at the Hype Hairdressers Salon in Amsterdam. When Lianne heard about 22STARS from her friend Stella, she was so enthusiastic that she offered to make use of her fashion network to help with the first photoshoots and be the first 22STARS model. In November 2012 Stella invited Lianne to join her on a trip to Uganda. It was Lianne’s first trip to the country but she adapted very quickly to the cultural circumstances and won the heart of the Ugandan people with her charm. Lianne lives in Scheveningen/ The Hague, close to the beach and loves being on the waves on a sunny day. She also has a beautiful voice and sometimes sings accompanying herself on guitar or piano.
