Marlies Dekkers (in Dutch; Flemish pronounced as /mɑrˈlis ˈdɛkərs/; born 29 November 1965 in Oosterhout) is a Dutch fashion designer known for her lingerie line Undressed.
She studied at the Art school in Breda, graduating cum laude (with distinction) in 1991. With the aid of a government grant, she launched, two years later in 1993, her first collection of items under the fashion label Undressed, heralded at the time as a new approach to designing lingerie.
In 1996, Dekkers married Peter Wagenaar, a photographer. The couple have a daughter Zilver (Silver in Dutch). Wagenaar was also a member of the board of Marlies Dekkers' company. When the couple divorced in 2006, Wagenaar also left the company.
The Marlies Dekkers brand (stylized in print as "marlies|dekkers") is sold in 1,000 Marlies Dekkers stores worldwide in cities such as Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Antwerp, Paris, Bangkok, Berlin, Moscow and Cologne. A store was briefly opened in New York from December 2008 to March 2009[1] and in Utrecht at the end of 2008. The products are also sold online.
