Yes, 2023 marks the 30-year anniversary of marlies|dekkers. Three whole decades! I can hardly believe it myself. Reflecting back, I am grateful that the combination of a beautiful product and a burning mission to empower women has proven to be successful.

But the real secret of my success? It’s you! The path of a pioneer can be a lonely one, but with you as my tribe dancing alongside me all these years, across several generations, I have felt loved, supported and empowered to keep going. So, this New Year’s eve is a celebration of love, life and, more importantly, of us! Happy New Year, to another 30 years together! Let’s dance!

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

by marlies|dekkers

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.”

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

Super (skin) food

by marlies|dekkers

‘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.
