True to form, Marlies Dekkers has once again channeled its signature feminist ethos into its summer 2020 lingerie collection. Like its predecessors, this season’s lineup pays homage to a bold, trailblazing woman from history — this time, the legendary aviator Amelia Earhart.
Earhart made history in 1932 as the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. The iconic photographs of her standing on the wing of her aircraft — dressed in an impeccably stylish flying suit of leather jacket, lace-up boots, and helmet — captured the world’s imagination and cemented her status as an enduring symbol of courage and independence. It is precisely this spirit that Marlies Dekkers’ designers set out to translate into lingerie.
The heroic imagery finds its most vivid expression in the Aviator set. Crafted from a stretch fabric in earthy khaki, the pieces are accented with embroidered patches that speak directly to the brand’s feminist narrative. A bodysuit, two panty styles, and a full-coverage Aviator bra all share one defining detail: a bold zip closure that nods to the functional elegance of vintage flight gear.
For those in search of the perfect everyday bra, the Sky High series offers a softer, more ethereal alternative — rendered in a dreamy sky-blue fabric and encompassing four distinct styles: a balconette, a push-up, a soft-cup bra, and a soft-cup balconette. Something for every preference, every silhouette.
Rounding out the collection is the most daring mini-series of all: Wing Power — executed entirely in black and dedicated to the raw, exhilarating freedom of skydiving.
