The Triangle, takes the theme of the triangular relationship formed by the trio of father, mother and child. Marlies had designed a bold silver coloured triangle that acts like body jewellery against the sheer black fabric of the lingerie pieces. The triangle acts as a linking point for Marlies' famous slim bands of black elastic that frame necklines, nestle between shoulder blades or sit provocatively on the bottom of the spine.

Marlie Dekkers first came to the attention of the world-at-large on her graduation in 1991 from the Saint Joost Academy for Art and Design. With the famous 'bare buttock dress' of her graduation show,she grabbed without batting and eyelid a full page article in the NRC daily newspaper. In those early days it was her dream to design lingerie in which women could feel beautiful and seductive, but at the same time powerful and independent. But in lingerie, claimed people around her who knew about business, there was barely a day crust to be earned;the average Dutch woman was, after all, of the mind-set that she should 'just be average;that's crazy enough'. Advice like this is like a red rag to a bull to Marlies; if everyone says something is not possible, then she just tends to give it 200% to prove that it is possible!She persisted with her dream and set to work designing her sort of lingerie;strong,sexy,self-aware and with a perfect fit.
