Marlies Dekkers
Dutch couture lingerie that celebrates female strength and sensuality
The Dame of Dutch Lingerie
Marlies Dekkers founded her eponymous brand in 1993 in the Netherlands with a radical vision: lingerie should celebrate female power, not just beauty. Her breakthrough 'Dame de Paris' collection — featuring her now-iconic cage-strap designs — turned the lingerie world upside down. Where others saw underwear, Dekkers saw architecture.
What Sets Them Apart
Every Marlies Dekkers piece is recognizable by its signature strapping and geometric construction. The brand pioneered the 'visible lingerie' movement years before it became mainstream. Their pieces are designed to be seen — peeking from under a blazer or worn as outerwear.
Best For
Women who see lingerie as a form of self-expression and empowerment. If you want pieces that make a statement and double as fashion, this is your brand.
