\u201cI think we’ve got it all wrong,\u201d starts Dana Stinea-Messika, founder of uber sexy French fashion brand DANAM\u00c9. \u201cWe talk about female empowerment, but we don\u2019t need to empower women – women are so f*cking powerful. We don’t need anyone to empower us. We’ve been empowering the world throughout history. We don\u2019t need to wait for the world to empower us. We are she wolves, we are lionesses. Power is not ours to be given, it’s ours since the dawn of time. The DANAM\u00c9 women? She\u2019s a badass.\u201d<\/p>\n

“Women are so f*cking powerful. We don’t need anyone to empower us. We’ve been empowering the world throughout history.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It sounds like a feminist manifesto, doesn\u2019t it? Her designs\u2014at once glamorous but not unattainable, sultry but never unkempt\u2014more and more reflect how women want to look today. No longer bound by the arcane rules laid out by male-led corporations, we\u2014women\u2014are free to show some skin, flash some flesh and bare a midriff if we please. But the DANAM\u00c9 era of sexy is softer, more inventive, delightfully delicate, and detailed oriented.<\/p>\n
