International lingerie designer Marlies Dekkers seems to have redefined the concept of ‘women empowerment’. It is true that men are fascinated by and attracted to women in power; it is also true that a woman in sexy lingerie always wins over one in a business suit! At least that’s what Dekkers seems to believe. Not that a great pair of little nothings can land the world at your feet, Dekkers seems to have a valid point there.
After 15 years of brand success, she is all set to organize a retrospective show at Rotterdam’s Kunsthal wherein she proposes to showcase and highlight her various inspirations. The show traverses through many inspirational forms like Renaissance art, theatre and architecture. The versatile themes revolve around feminity, eroticism, bondage and control. For her very first show in 1991, the designer raked a controversy by parading her collection through a red-light area in Amsterdam. Dekkers also believes that incomplete revelation of physical assets adds to the mystery and charm of sexuality and strives to incorporate the idea in her designs.
Not only has she proved to be a creative designer but has also established herself as a successful entrepreneur. She won the Prix Veuve Clicquot for Businesswoman of the Year in 2007. Marlies Dekkers stores are scattered across Holland, Antwerp, Berlin, Paris and Bangkok.
