Dita Von Teese‘s collection of skivvies and perfume is now available on hsn.com, and the range is sexy both in looks and in price. ”I spend exorbitant amounts of money of lingerie when I go shopping in Paris, and I think these pieces can really stand their own against the most expensive lingerie in the world,” she told InStyle.com of the line, which features vintage-inspired lingerie sets covered in leopard print, lace, and fishnet ($25 to $45) and her fragrance, which includes top notes of fresh peonies, fizzy bergamot, and spicy Bourbon pepper ($75 a bottle). She also focused on making every woman feel fabulous, at any size. “It was important to me that we offer them in a diverse range of sizing,” she added, noting the range is from 32A to 40DD. “And they’re very wearable pieces. I took a lot of care to make it comfortable and wearable, and to make sure it functions under a woman’s wardrobe.” Head to hsn.com to shop the collection now.

Dita Von Teese Is Making HSN a Sexier Place! Burlesque Star to Launch Lingerie and Perfume

Do a sexy dance—Dita Von Teese is partnering with HSN to launch her lingerie and perfume in the United States for the first time! The Queen of Burlesque was in New York last night to kick off the American leg of her Strip Strip Hooray! tour, and we caught up with the star to learn all about her home-shoppable collection, from the vintage-inspired lingerie sets ($25 to $45) to the fragrances ($75 a bottle). “I thought HSN would be the perfect way to introduce my brand to the American woman, because my goal with these products is to bring glamour and refinement to women at an affordable price,” Von Teese told InStyle.com. And she did just that by hand-picking eyelash laces and mixing scent notes in Paris herself, all while making sure the prices remained reasonable. Von Teese also wears all of the pieces she designed alongside those from her own very famous collection of lingerie: ”I spend exorbitant amounts of money of lingerie when I go shopping in Paris, and I think these pieces can really stand their own against the most expensive lingerie in the world,” she said. “I’m really proud of that fact.” And she has every right to be! Dita Von Teese’s American debut will be available on HSN and hsn.com starting April 23.

Grammys 2013 Video: Celebrities Show Off Their Shoes!

Feb 11, 2013 @ 5:45 pm

What makes a great Grammys look? Fabulous shoes! We asked the stars attending the InStyle and Warner Music Group party to reveal their designer footwear for the evening, and captured all the high heel action on video. Christina Perri described her Gucci pair as “comfortable” and “totally worth it,” Kimbra said her Miu Miu sandals made her “feel like a princess,” and Dita Von Teese pulled her sky-high Christian Louboutins straight from his Paris atelier. “They were something he was working on,” Von Teese says. “He was like, ‘Just take them,’ and the matching bag, too!” Watch the clip above to get more inside scoop on the hottest (and highest) heels of the night!

Dita Von Teese’s Advice for Shopping Vintage

Jan 16, 2013 @ 12:31 pm

No one wears vintage clothing quite like burlesque star Dita Von Teese, who has been collecting pieces for more than 25 years. “I started wearing vintage because I couldn’t even afford designer jeans,” Von Teese (in a blue velvet dress from the 1930s) told InStyle.com at Dior Beauty’s dinner celebrating Hollywood glamour. “I couldn’t keep up with my friends in high school so I bought vintage clothes that were cheaper.” So there’s no better person to ask for tips on how to shop for standout items! “Choose things that look modern,” Von Teese told InStyle.com. “Notice, in modern clothes, where the references are in vintage. Look for the parallels between [modern designers] like Vivienne Westwood and Jean Paul Gaultier and vintage clothing.” And that’s not all. “Also, go for things that are fairly simplistic and have a nice shape,” Von Teese said. ”I know I’m successful at shopping for vintage when people say, ‘Is that Galliano, Dior, Westwood, or Prada?’ And I say, ‘No, I bought it on eBay for $40!’”

Dita Von Teese Announces Second Fragrance!

Oct 18, 2012 @ 1:19 pm

After debuting her first fragrance earlier this year, Dita Von Teese took to Twitter to announce that a follow-up is on the way! “My second fragrance ROUGE will be available at various stores in Germany this November,” the burlesque star tweeted. The seductive new scent is apparently an inviting combination of orange bergamot, pink pepper, Lapsang Souchong tea, magnolia, and raw amber. “I love the smoky smell of the Lapsang Souchong tea, which we combined with ambergris to create a voluptuous scent,” Von Teese said in a statement about Rouge. Although the perfume is set to debut in Europe next month, we’re still waiting on its U.S. release date!
