SPOTTED Christina Milian wearing marlies|dekkers

For over 20 years, celebrities are wearing my lingerie. It’s a combination between a good working PR machine, and designs which are truly new to the famous ladies. It all started when I stood outside in the rain, waiting for Diana Ross finishing her concert in my hometown. I waited for hours outside of the artist exit. Finally I got the change to give my package with lingerie to her assistant. Nowadays things work a little different. I have a whole team of PR ladies who are in close contact with assistants and stylists of celebrities. Every now and then we spot a new fan of the brand, and every time that happens it gives me a smile from ear to ear.

This time we spotted the beautiful R&B singer, actress and real-life soap star Christina Milian in the marlies|dekkers Holi Glamour bikini and an ivory dame de Paris bra from the signature collection. Doesn’t she look amazing! I’m in love with her confident attitude. Christina definitely lives my motto: dare to dream, dare to grow, dare to be. A true inspiration!

Building bridges

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

‘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.
