The next step in transparency!
On the 12th of October I signed the Transparency Pledge, promising to be transparent about our production locations by publishing a list of the involved factories online. The pledge was developed by a global coalition of nine trade union federations and human rights organizations and is a part of the #GoTransparent campaign organized by Clean Clothes.
I signed the pledge together with representatives of HEMA, Alchemist, Kings of Indigo, Kuyichi, Okimono, Schijvens and WE Fashion. Fashion brands Zeeman, C&A, G-star and Esprit had signed the Transparency Pledge earlier. Together, we aim to inspire more fashion brands to do the same and strive for more transparent supply chains and better working conditions in the fashion industry!
Transparency is one of the 4 key ambitions of marlies|dekkers as a business, and after signing up on the OAR to share our supplier base, signing the Transparency Pledge was a wonderful next step

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.
