A whole newspaper to myself??
Last year I got one of those calls you will never forget, I was asked to be the quest editor in chief of the Dutch Metro Mode.
“Marlies has forever changed the world of lingerie. She inspires women, not only with her lingerie designs but also with her lifestyle and Rotterdam Approach.” I felt so honored by these words of Karin Kuijpers, editor-in-chief of the Dutch Metro. She asked me to be her guest editor-in-chief for a special edition of the newspaper called Metro Mode. With a list of impressive guest editors-in-chief such as Lady Gaga (she wears my designs!) and Karl Lagerfeld, I accepted her offer in less then a second!!
A whole paper all to myself! I was thrilled to share my thoughts on fashion and how this inspired my lifestyle and designs. The whole adventure, from concept to publishing, was just one of those I-will-never-ever-forget-this life experiences. Want to see the result? click here.

Building bridges
From the Erasmus Bridge and the Mercedes-Benz Museum to Qatar’s metro network; Ben van Berkel’s iconic landmarks bring people together in rapturous beauty, again and again. I talked with the Dutch architect and educator about sensuality, ‘healthy’ buildings and the remarkable parallels between our designs.

More than a feeling
Don’t ignore your emotions; they are much more powerful than you can imagine. By linking the magical world of emotions with hard science, Dutch scientist Pierre Capel, professor emeritus in experimental immunology, shows us the consequences of our feelings and the power of our minds. The message: we can do much more than we think. “Meditate. It’s the single best thing you can do for your health.”

Keto curious?
The fact that I feel bikini-confident all year round is, of course, a nice bonus. But for me, the biggest payoff of following the keto diet is the way it optimizes my health and gives me tons of energy.

Super (skin) food
‘If you can’t eat it, why put it on your skin?’. I pretty much live by this beauty adage. After all, with your skin being one of your body’s largest organs, anything – and I mean anything! – you put onto your skin will end up in your bloodstream.
