EXOTIC FINERY BOOMS IN SAINT DENIS.

Since the wife of King Henry II of France enforced a ban on thick waists at court attendance, the corset has remained in high fashion for all who can afford it. Using exotic lace and stays and whalebones and metal supports, much cherished local artisan Algernon Wasp fashions striking corsets at his world renowned workshop and greenhouse in the Mansion District of Saint Denis.

His millinery work and corsetry are all the rage amongst the fashionable members of higher classes, who prize his use of rare and most delicate materials such as orchids and egret feathers. With a long list of elite and aristocratic clients from all around the world, Mr. Wasp's workshop toils into the night to make the waist's of aristocrats slimmer and their heads dainty with finery. He remains an example of Saint Denis's status as a cultural capital of the world.
