"All my work as a feminist designer is inspired by muses. Powerful female icons from past and present. Although women have been marginalized for centuries, archetypes of female power have always been there. Through my designs, I bring them to you. To help us shape the world of modern-day feminism.

This season, we celebrate the 30th anniversary of marlies|dekkers with a joyful trip around the world to explore the multi-sensory, multidimensional delights of dance, from samba to street dance, from ballet to Bollywood. Ancient goddess cultures honored female sensuality as the source of all life, expressed by dance. Today, dance is as important as ever: a way to reconnect to our femininity and our natural physical intelligence. A blissful expression of self-care and self-love. A radical act of feminine feminism.

Dance & I

"Dance is a muse with many different faces. One of the great joys of my life is to have been moved - quite literally! - by so many of them. Doing ballet, jazz dance and ballroom dancing, I practically danced through my childhood and teenage years.

During the 80s and 90s club explosion, dance became my gateway to freedom and creative expression. Pumping up the jam with a community of misfits and mavericks who refused to be labeled, we didn't need permission to express ourselves. We owned the night.

Fast-forward and here I am, dancing to celebrate the 30th anniversary of my brand! Looking back, it sure has been a crazy ride. But, like Alan Watts said: 'the only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.' And that's exactly what I did.

Losing myself in the music, I found myself. And with every step of my black go-go boots I felt: this is my moment. It is mine. Try to stop me; you can't! I am dancing my destiny."

"This season, wake up your inner sambista in my spectacular 'Samba Queen' couture collection. To create this wearable ode to the sensual soul of samba, I combined vibrant pastel shades with a fluid interplay of lines. A clever placement print creates the illusion of panels wrapping themselves around your gorgeous curves while the all over gold lurex piping gives you that carnival sparkle. Hidden wiring creates a smooth silhouette and allows the transformation from innerwear to outerwear in a matter of seconds. Just add a flirty skirt!
