SIREN OF THE NILE

"Channel your inner sensual siren with my 'Siren of the Nile' collection in tantalizing turquoise. To create this irresistible new design, I crafted a streamlined silhouette from a superb jacquard fabric with a lovely, wave-like relief. Gold Lurex lining sparkles on the shoulder straps and bindings like sun glitter reflecting on the water. The gold-toned metal snakes wrapped around your straps dare you to sing your siren song. A song of seduction and radiant self-confidence."

- Marlies Dekkers

Gold-plated snake ornament

The Siren of the Nile collection is crafted from a structured jacquard fabric in a beautiful turqoise color. The shoulder straps and the bindings are adorned with gold lurex that is woven into the fabric. Watch out for the gold-plated snake that curls itself around your shoulderstraps! The snake is made by injecting a mold with metal. The gold-colored layer is applied by electro plating. In short this technique means to coat or “plate” a layer of metal onto the surface of another material.

Well, you can spare yourselves the journey; she carries it in her eyes," Julius Caesar, clearly besotted with Cleopatra and her endless violet eyes, declares in the 1963 Cleopatra movie extravaganza. A little later, the Queen of Egypt herself (Elizabeth Taylor) tells general Marc Anthony (her real-life lover Richard Burton) that she carries the fertile Nile in other body parts as well: "I am the Nile. I will bear many sons. Isis has told me. My breasts are full of love and life. My hips are rounded and well apart." And indeed, Cleopatra bore many sons (3), thereby cleverly connecting her fertility with the power of Rome. But Cleopatra and the majestic Nile had something else in common: they both went against the current. 'A reversal of the laws of nature' as historian Herodutus called the river that literally flowed backward, from south to north. In the same way, he described the emancipated role women of in Egypt. “The women urinate standing up, the men sitting down," he mocked. Let them laugh; floating up the bright, aquamarine river in her gilded barge with soaring purple sails, the Queen of Egypt ruled supreme. The once and future Siren of the Nile...
