Manous Nelemans (1963) is a model from the Netherlands/ Amsterdam. She has worked with several prominent model agencies and photographers in the fashion industry, starting at the age of 57. Besides modeling, she has over 40 years of experience in the hair and make-up industry. She is skilled in photography, coaching, advertising, editing, and photoshoots.

Manous Nelemans started modeling in her menopause, when she let her hair grow grey. She stands for being an active and modern-life older woman. Not specific the classic “granny” type! She can be like a cameleon: from punky archivist, sporty casual till sophisticated CEO: she loves to be in a roll, next to very natural. Embracing her fine lines, and refuses to have botox or fillers, she wants to show that beauty comes from the inside.. Alongside modeling, Manous developed a strong interest in hairdressing, hair styling, and makeup. She puts all her expertise and skills in her “Maison Manous”, her brand name.. ( in dutch also: mooimetmanous, both on Instagram)

Manous Nelemans is passionate about youth and is looking forward to coaching them. She hopes the younger ones will see: don’t be affraid to age! Her biggest source of inspiration is music, fashion, and art. Going into nature to find herself balanced is needed, next to living in the city
