‘There are so many vintage lingerie pieces I love that I haven’t been able to find in all my years of collecting. “ say Dita von Teese .
‘I wanted to design pieces that are tributes to my vintage obsessions, to make them beautiful and functional, while modernising them for everyday wear.’
Dita has designed the sexy collection for Target Australia.The burlesque queen says ‘It was important to me to accomplish the task of making these beautiful things in sizes that can make any woman feel sexy and glamorous, and I’m very proud that we have been able to do that, while keeping prices affordable.’
The underwear range is available in stores in Australia and online.
Murray Chenery, of Target Australia said: ‘Target Australia is thrilled to work with the talented Dita Von Teese on her first ever, worldwide lingerie collection. We have taken on board the sentiments of our customers to develop the range and deliver what they have asked for.’

In an interview to promote the lingerie collection Von Teese also revealed that when it comes to getting ready for an event, she doesn’t hire a team to dress and style her. “I don’t want to judge people – I guess it’s part of their career, maybe they don’t have the time – but I really like the satisfaction I get from creating my own red carpet looks and doing my hair and makeup.”
“When people say that I’m just a dumb stripper, I’m thinking, wow, but you’re really giving accolades to these stylists, hair, and makeup people that get everybody turned out and I’m holding my own up there?”
