For many people, underwear has a purely practical use. Unfortunately. Because it’s our second skin. Therefore, it’s more important than any other piece of clothing. As everybody knows, the skin is our largest sensory organ. It’s often possible to recognize who is wearing exquisite lingerie and who is wearing conventional one, even if the person is fully clothed. If we feel lingerie of high quality on our skin, it creates a very special self-confidence and, associated with it, a corresponding posture and charisma. Hence, paying attention to a certain sex appeal of the lingerie is not only ok but even recommended. A designer, who has been showing in a unique way for many years that this is even a part of modern feminism is Marlies Dekkers, and now, she takes us on a wild Space Odyssey.

Marlies Dekkers has been a cult icon for 30 years because her lingerie series underlines the femininity of every woman. The designer sees the female body as a canvas on which she can keep telling new stories.
In doing so, she dispenses with traditional design and material clichés and instead creates bold, graphic, conceptual looks. For these, she likes to use strap lattices and unusual cutouts. This is how she creates lingerie for the contemporary woman.
READY FOR TAKE-OFF – THE SPACE ODYSSEY COLLECTION

My Space Odyssey collection is designed for ladies aiming for the stars. I was inspired by Stanley Kubrick’s “2001: A Space Odyssey”. Kubrick pays tribute to the big questions in life: why are we here and what is our destiny?
This courageous voyage transcending time and space reminded me of the heroic journeys of women on a mission. It’s what I wish for you: boldly go where no one has gone before to understand and fulfill your destiny.
I took the shape of Kubrick’s twirling spaceship and translated it into lovely little round-shaped details. Wear my Space Odyssey to radiate star quality. – Marlies Dekkers
