Welcome to the Signature collection
Welcome to the Signature collection, a showcase of the uniquely seductive work of Dutch lingerie designer Marlies Dekkers.
Spanning more than 20 years in time, Marlies’ illustrious career in lingerie design has always been dominated by her ambition to frame the wearer’s beauty at every opportunity, thereby boosting the confidence of the many women who adore her distinctive designs.
As a self-proclaimed feminist and someone who has championed the plight of women around the world for many years, Marlies literally makes it her business to conceptualise and design from a female perspective, rather than with the sexual gratification of men in mind.
The result, epitomised by the output of the Signature collection, is a celebration of the female form – with all of its perfect imperfections. It’s an approach, born of Marlies’ deep understanding of the female psyche and her formidable creative talents, that has won her many followers over the years.
So, lose yourself in the pages that follow, and embark on a journey that always ends at the same destination for the wearer of Marlies’ designs: a supreme sense of self-confidence.

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..

Bram shared some interesting alternatives with me, from throwing out our phones to running ‘till we puke’.
