Dita Von Teese is heading to Australia for the LMFF to promote her new range of lingerie. The queen of everything burlesque is introducing Von Follies by Dita Von Teese. And find out why you won’t be seeing Dannii Minogue, X Factor Judge and mum of one teetering around in high heels any time soon!
Dita Von Teese, the modern, international icon of everything burlesque will make an appearance at the L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival, much to the delight of lingerie lovers everywhere.
Dita’s appearance has coincided with the launch of her debut lingerie collection for Target, Von Follies by Dita Von Teese. The burlesque performer will add some pin-up glamour to the LMFF runway, as Dita herself will take to the catwalk to model the range.
“I am delighted to celebrate the launch of Von Follies by Dita Von Teese, my debut lingerie collection for Target Australia at the 2012 L’Oréal Melbourne Fashion Festival. I look forward to appearing on the coveted runway for the first time in my very own designs,” said Von Teese.
Graeme Lewsey, LMFF’s Chief Executive Officer, welcomed Von Teese to the festival, “Dita Von Teese is an international style icon and we look forward to welcoming her to the LMFF runway. She will add undeniable glamour and a sense of theatre to the show.”
“Dita Von Teese has taken inspiration from her extensive personal vintage lingerie collection and has designed with real women in mind, catering for all shapes and sizes. This really captures the essence of the Festival which celebrates accessibility and individuality, we encourage shoppers to take what they see on the runway and make it their own,” said Lewsey.

Dannii Minogue admits motherhood has taken its toll on her dress sense.
The Project D fashion designer – who welcomed son Ethan with partner Kris Smith in July 2010 – says that since then, glamorous clothes have become a thing of the past. She said, “My wardrobe has gone through massive changes since I became a mum.
I used to think, ‘Why do they all look the same?’ The school run uniform was sneakers, T-shirts and scraped-back hair. And then I became a mum and got it.” During her time on the UK ‘X Factor’, the 40-year-old singer had weekly style-offs with fellow judge Cheryl Cole. But with a little boy to take care of, she says sensible shoes and practical clothes are the way forward for now.
Dannii told the Daily Star, “There’s no way around it. My day-to-day look is mummy-ish. I just can’t totter around in heels carrying a 30lb baby. “Flats are the only option when juggling shopping bags and wrestling a stroller. And washable tops when you’re sneezed on, puked on and having food thrown at you.”
Rescu. thinks if Dannii looking after her new baby is her top priority, then that’s stylish enough for us!
