THE MARLIES DEKKERS CARE BRA

" Breast cancer awareness has always been a cause very close to my heart. From the beginning of my brand, I have had conversations with breast cancer survivors who told me about their struggles, needs and wishes. My dream was to help women reconquer their femininity damaged by the disease, and I knew what I had to do: design a special post-op bra. This season, in addition to the black and ivory versions, I have designed a limited-edition Care Bra in an ocean-blue fabric which I overlaid with gorgeous, recycled lace; the complementary blue hues reminding me of Lee Miller's piercing blue eyes. Et voilá, a combination of care, comfort and class. "

The pockets on the inside of the bra have a stretchable opening for the prosthesis.

Comfort

The care bra has a flexible, wireless shape with soft, pre-shaped cups to ensure a comfortable fit.

Class

I added a beautiful play of lines on top of the cups as a classy, finishing touch.

the story behind the

illustration

Art director & illustrator Emmanuel Katsaros made a special illustration of our 3-piece collection, emphasizing a theme of ‘strength’.

“The strength can be seen in the women’s hands. They represent personal strength, but also the strength created by women supporting other women in a time of need. I used a lot of pink, as a reminder to get yourself checked regularly. The reason I made the women quite glam is because I strongly believe that every woman is beautiful and feminine, also after a life-changing event like breast cancer."
