Angel is a unisex streetwear brand based in Arnhem, the Netherlands. The name Angel comes from my middle name, but it also represents something much bigger self expression, authenticity and being true to yourself. I’ve always believed in embracing who you are, without labels or limitations. That’s what Angel is about. It’s more than just clothing, it’s a statement, a mindset and a movement for anyone who wants to express themselves freely.

The Be Yourself slogan is something deeply personal to me. It’s a phrase I’ve held onto for a long time, especially in my journey of coming out and being deaf in a hearing world. My friends and I always reminded each other ‘You have to be yourself, no matter what’. That phrase became my inspiration, it’s not just a motto, it’s a reminder for everyone to stay true to who they are.

Streetwear has always been a part of my life. I’ve been inspired by 90s hip-hop culture and Black culture, and I love how streetwear has always been more than just fashion. It’s a movement, it represents identity, creativity, and connection. Angel isn’t just about clothing, it’s about building a community where people from different backgrounds, cultures, and identities can come together, inspire each other, and grow.

Born in Arnhem, The Netherlands, Jánnice, a brown, deaf, queer woman with a deep love for fashion, community, and culture. As the eldest daughter in a big blended family with six siblings, she grew up in a hearing world where she didn’t always feel understood. This experience shaped her and inspired her to build an inclusive space where everyone can fully express themselves, their culture, backgrounds, identities and their creativity/talents without fear of judgment.

For Jánnice, Angel is more than just a clothing brand. It’s a movement that stands for individuality, self expression, and connection. With Angel, she aims to create a space where people can embrace who they are, share their stories, and lift each other up.
