About

Why this artist matters now

Marlies Dekkers is a Dutch designer and entrepreneur known for founding a luxury lingerie brand in the 1990s that redefined intimate apparel as a form of fashion design. Her work combines precision engineering with aesthetic innovation, treating undergarments as sculptural objects rather than functional concealment. Dekkers' designs are characterized by architectural seaming, unexpected material combinations, and a deliberate refusal of passive femininity in their silhouettes and presentation.
