Say it with a fan

Having a romantic rendezvous? No doubt you've painted your lips red, perfumed your hair delicately and are probably about to wear your highest heels as you become the ultimate femme fatale. But if you want to raise your man-eater style to the next level and stack the odds in your favour, dare to play with your erotic fan. After a couple of slight movements, the temperatures will rise and you won't be able to blame them on global warming.

French label En Cas de Chaleur offers boudoir-inspired fans, featuring endless legs, fetish shoes and other licentious drawings. "I create seductive art objects, both playful and precious," says Elsa Fabrega, the young creator of En Cas de Chaleur. "My fans are small worlds full of fantasies, the relevance within the impertinence. I couldn't agree more with Picasso when he says that art can be nothing but erotic."

Night is falling and the moonlight is shining – it's time for action. Close your fan and let it touch your cheek to say "I love you." Then point it at your chin to ask for a kiss. (encasdechaleur.com)
