by marlies|dekkers

On October 18th Marlies Dekkers and her FEMININE/FEMINIST movement showed her signature collection and the latest collection inspired by the great Edith Head, during a distinctive Burlesque fashion show in downtown Los Angeles. Marlies is known for creating extraordinary performances of storytelling that guide the audience through the lives of female icons who paved the way for present day feminine feminists.

After the very successful European tour it was time to put the spotlight on the fast-growing FEMININE/FEMINIST movement in Los Angeles! In an hour long show Marlies took the guests into a 1930’s to 1950’s Hollywood scene, where they witnessed an electrifying performance with artistic choreography reminiscent of Paris nightclubs like the Moulin Rouge and the Crazy Horse.

Marlies’ unconventional choice of models has always assured a completely unexpected energy on stage. This season, six strong and confident female dancers portrait sexual femininity, strength and unlocked female potential from a feminine point of view.

In an overbooked venue filled with celebrities, top-stylists, LA’s best editors and bloggers, Marlies received a standing ovation.
“I’m so proud of my FEMININE|FEMINIST movement who rocked the city of Los Angeles last night during my fashion show! ” says Marlies.

A few months from now, you will get to discover the collections, and see how they tell stories like Agatha’s thrilling books do..
