’tis the season to sparkle
If you are like me, you cannot WAIT to kickstart the festive season by filling up your house with fresh, fragrant greens and sparkly decorations. With every shiny ornament I hang in my tree, I say a little prayer of gratitude for all the love and friendship in my life. And with every touch of gorgeous red, I honor one very special lady… Eve!
Did you know that during the Middle Ages, people performed ‘paradise plays’ on Christmas Eve, using a pine tree with red apples tied to it as the Tree of Knowledge? I think it’s very fitting to be reminded of Eve’s brave act during these Days of Giving. After all, by picking the apple, Eve gave herself the gift of knowledge! So, this Holiday season, give back, especially to YOU. Celebrate and seduce yourself. Give yourself the gift of luminous self-confidence with my special, stunning, sparkly Christmas lingerie collection. Wear it and you’ll see, the most beautiful ornament this year will be your inner light, shining bright.
Happy Holidays!

fall|winter 20 preview
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..
