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.


We designed 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, 11, and 33.
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; 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 confessions, and connect through shared desires. A bold move beyond fashion, into the realm of intimacy and imagination.
