Marlies Says

By embracing her complex nature, I contrasted lace’s intricacy with my clear flattering signature, inspiring women to seduce themselves first. The result is startling; a sexual object no longer, the woman wearing my lace lingerie was a self-contained being, only sexual on her own terms.
Emphasizing the thrilling interplay of reveal and conceal that is so typical for lace. Delicate yet strong, my designs allow you to hint without showing, and show only what you want, when you want to. They give you the tools to use your femininity as your superpower.
So now, let’s celebrate 30 years of feminine feminist designs with my ultimate ode to the empowering allure of lace: my Carita collection.
