Remco van der Veen (Amsterdam, 24 April 1973) has carried Love & Light as a guiding force throughout his life. Growing up in a warm and loving family that owned two light & lamp stores, he learned at an early age how light can shape atmosphere, elevate energy, and create connection — an essence that continues to influence everything he does.
He is a Dutch model, television presenter & entrepreneur.
At seventeen, Remco began his international modeling career. Within nine months, he was selected for a Giorgio Armani campaign — despite the fact that Armani had never seen him in person. This unexpected opportunity opened the door to an intense, adventurous, and multifaceted global journey in the fashion industry.
Over the years, Remco worked on campaigns for Armani (Mani), Coca-Cola, Mentos, WE, Garcia Jeans, and many others. He walked runway shows for Gianfranco Ferré, Romeo Gigli, Levi’s, Diesel, and more, and collaborated with renowned photographers such as Marco Marezza, Kurt Markus & Carli Hermès.
His modeling career led him to prominent agencies including De Boekers (Amsterdam), Boss Models (New York, Miami, London & Cape Town), Success Models (Paris), Italy Models (Milan), M4 (Hamburg), and New Face Model Management (Taipei). MTV created a special about him, and he appeared frequently on Dutch talk shows hosted by Paul de Leeuw, Catherine Keyl, and others.
In addition to modeling, Remco nurtured a passion for live communication and television. He presented Play2Win (Live TV) and hosted interactive programs for Lotto (Happy Hour), Call TV, Spelevisie, Zengi, Homeshopping Europe, and Tel Sell (OK TV) — where he also held a director position for OK TV.
His entrepreneurial spirit later came to the forefront. Remco opened his own Light & Lamp Design Store (SHINE SQUAD) and re-opened the bar/dancing Havanna, allowing him once again to shape energy, atmosphere, and experience — this time as a creator of dreams rather than a model.
Remco’s path has been diverse — spanning fashion, media, design, and hospitality — yet everything he does is driven by a singular purpose: to create, to inspire, and to bring Love & Light wherever he can.
His newest global project is x Lovers O Light x — a movement dedicated to uniting those who remember their inner Love & Light. Together, they rise, shine & align.
His mission is simple: to help make the world a brighter, better place !
