Bringing Sexy Back!
Tuesday, November 10, 2009 
If this season's fashion is about bringing the sexy, it certainly has been 'brought-ed!' Black Lace, animal prints, leather, zippers, buckles are making their bold appearance in clothes and accessories. But nothing symbolizes sensuality like the corset. Something about that criss-cross architecture designed to control and harness rebellious bodily excess is archaic yet deliciously appealing. On boots, bags, shoes, belts, you name it, the design is undoubtably hot. Which explains why I was immediately drawn to the exquisite creations of French accessory brand, Estenate. Let's face it, noone does luxury and sexy like the French.
Estenate, exclusively sold in Therapie in the U.S., is the creation of two talented, young, French designers, Estelle and Renate. They have 25 years of experience in Haute Couture between them. Their creations are all 100% hand-made from start to finish out of the most luxurious materials. I, for one, am in lust with their sumptuous pieces!
