Von Follies

A perfume, a clothing line, nails, stockings, books, the whole Cointreau thing, burlesque dancing! I don't know how she does it - but she does! Dita von Teese I mean...And now it's been announced when her lingerie line will premiere too! The first pieces from the "Von Follies" collection (as it is called) will be available in Target Australia stores from early February 2012, with new product lines to be introduced in March. At the same time the line will be available for purchases online from Target's website - www.target.com.au

"Von Follies" has been inspired by Dita's own collection of vintage lingerie, including an overwire bra, high waisted panties, garters, and corsolettes.

"There are so many vintage lingerie pieces I love that I haven't been able to find in all my years of collecting. I wanted to design pieces that are tributes to my vintage obsessions, to make them beautiful and functional, while modernizing them for everyday wear", says Dita about her collection.

The range features ten collections from black lingerie sets, to bold luxurious reds, nudes with black lace overlay, vintage-inspired pale shades of satin, and even an animal print.

The different pieces will come in sizes up to an E-cup i assorted bras, and briefs in size 20 (European/US size 46), and will cost from 17 dollars, with exquisite bustiers and fitted corsolettes ranging from 79 dollars.

"It was very important to me to offer lingerie in a range of sizes. Size range was one of the first things I asked when I was approached to create this collection. 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", concludes Dita.

I love lingerie - especially vintage-inspired - so I can't wait to see the whole range! But as it's best to be able to try on, at least bras, before buying them, and considering the fact that Dita also released both her perfume AND her dress collection in Australia, I'm now considering moving to this country. Who's with me? We can get a big house together, and live in a "Dita Collective". It would be so cozy!!!
