Feb 2, 2012 by admin

Dita Von Teese the BURLESQUE bombshell has designed an exclusive lingerie range for Target, with prices starting at $17.

Dita Von Teese the illustrious burlesque performer has called her range Von Follies and it will launch in larger Target stores on February 8 in a rush to grab a slice of the St Valentine sales

There will be a large range of sizes, with bras sizes up to an E cup, and briefs up to size 20.
The launch range features a total of 26 pieces with five collections, including the dazzling designs in the pictures below.
“It was very important to me to offer lingerie in a large range of sizes,” Von Teese explained, having started making her own clothes from a young age.

“When I was a teenager, I realised I could afford to go to a flea market or vintage store, so I started to mix vintage things with modern pieces. I’d buy a 1960s dress and alter it myself using my sewing machine.”

“Like most women, I have plenty of insecurities about the way I look. But I’m not going to point out my flaws, because then they’ll be more noticeable,” Dita said.

“The world would be a better place if women kept their insecurities to themselves. I say, accept them, live with them. And if you don’t want to accept them, change them – that’s fine, too.

“Anyone can be sexy and beautiful, regardless of their shape – that’s one reason I love the idea of glamour. It isn’t something that belongs to someone of a certain age or size.”

She was also clear in her appreciation of lingerie, which does not stem from a desire to attract men. Rather, it is all about women.

“I love the history of lingerie and the way it evokes femininity, sensuality and mystery,” she said. “I’ve never equated it with sex or what men want – it’s a great thing women have for themselves.”

“I wear nice underwear because it makes me feel good.”

The global fashion icon is set to return to Australia for the L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival, and will model her designs for Target on the LMFF Runway at Central Pier on Saturday March 10.
