Inspired by Mother Earth – Have you heard the call?

by marlies|dekkers

Have you heard the call? The call to venture into the unknown and meet your tribe in an ecstatic celebration of love, music and nature? Whether it’s a full–moon party on a tropical island or a deep–desert dance fest, the party starts as soon as you decide to drop everything and follow your heart. Travel light; you only need to pack the essentials. With some great swimwear, like my own fashionable yet durable bikinis and bathing suits, you’re ready for any type of action!

What other fashion items can handle heat, sweat, sea water and spontaneous headstands, all while looking super stylish? Over 50 years ago, nearly half a million hippies walked, biked or hitchhiked their way to Woodstock where, during three days of peace and music, they changed the world. Their slogans – ‘Power to the people’ and ‘Save the earth’ – are as powerful as ever, brought back to life each time we get together to make the world a better, more beautiful place, whether it’s during Coachella or a climate demonstration. My Mother Earth swimwear collection celebrates the hope, joy and diversity of these global gatherings. With my designs, I dare you to show your true colors and walk on the wild side. Feel the urge to dance in the desert, rock out in the rain or go for a midnight swim? Go right ahead! With this season’s colorful, multifunctional swimwear, you can answer the call in style.

In January, I presented my newest FW20 collection during a show full of dance and entertainment in Rotterdam. All my work as a feminist designer is inspired by muses, powerful female icons from past and present. And for FW20, my muse will be crime writer Agatha Christie. A few months from now, you will get to discover the collections, and see how they tell stories like Agatha’s thrilling books do..

Dr. Bram Bakker is a psychiatrist, a writer, a runner and a provocateur. With his many bestselling books and columns – and yes, even his own theatre show – he urges us to think outside the box when it comes to our mental health. Not crazy about popping pills? Bram shared some interesting alternatives with me, from throwing out our phones to running ‘till we puke’.

General practitioner Tamara de Weijer believes that we would feel a lot better if we hit the produce stand before we visited the pharmacy. “On a massive scale, we have been putting the wrong kind of fuel in our bodies.”
