33 Propositions


Celebrate 10 years of Marlies Dekkers with a meaningful, timeless keepsake for her audience.

10 years of inspiration.
33 propositions.
1 intimate gift.

A visually striking book built around 33 personal propositions, a symbolic number rooted in Dekkers’ Catholic upbringing. Every detail, from typography to structure, was guided by the sacred rhythm of 3 and 11.
The layout evokes biblical scripture, subtly offset by seductive photography and sensual storytelling. A blend of devotion and desire.

The book unfolds in two parts: the outer edges trace the brand’s journey while the center reveals the 33 propositions. Like whispered secrets in a diary.

To extend the experience, we created The Dark Room. An online space for readers to explore fantasies, read erotic confessions and connect through shared desires. A bold move beyond fashion, into the realm of intimacy and imagination.
