Mathilde Willink

Mathilde Willink and friend (1975)

Mathilde Willink née Maria Theodora Mathilde de Doelder (7 July 1938, Terneuzen – 25 October 1977, Amsterdam) was an Amsterdam society figure and fashion icon, married to Dutch painter Carel Willink (1900–1983) from 1969 to 1977. She often wore Fong Leng's extravagant designs. The Willinks' eccentric relationship made them a staple in the Dutch gossip columns of the time. Four months after she divorced Carel, Mathilde was found dead in her bed. The details of her death remain unclear.[1]
