Sexy clothes are like fair-weather friends. When you’re at your best, they cling to you and flatter you like there’s no tomorrow. But when things get heavy, they’re the first to go.

Luckily, new kid on the block Desanka makes sultry, feminine clothes that love you unconditionally. They work your assets and forgive your flaws; they encourage you to take risks (like that surprisingly awesome knit jumpsuit); and, unlike some of your more fickle tastes, they won’t be going anywhere when the next trend arrives. Best of all, their look is chic, never trashy — so you can depend on them to reveal what’s appropriate and keep the rest under wraps.

Because a true friend should always be willing to cover your ass.

Available at Satine, 8117 West Third Street, between Kilkea Drive and Crescent Heights Boulevard (323-655-2142); or Yellow, 605 North La Brea Avenue, between Clinton Street and Melrose Avenue (323-525-0362).
