Dita Von Teese Debuts Wonderbra Collection

Filed under: Apparel

Haute-burlesque queen Dita Von Teese, whose controversial Cointreau ads we told you about in April, will debut her new collection for Wonderbra in Europe on Sept. 23rd.

The limited-edition, vintage-esque pieces, inspired by old Hollywood glamour with a touch of Bettie Page, come in three lines dubbed Multi-Teese, Spot-Teese and Satin-Teese, and also include panties and garter belts. Some of the bras feature an innovation of Dita's own devising: quick-release clasps so they're easier to remove than conventional models.

"Lingerie shouldn't be something you just put on for your lover; you should do it for you," Dita said in a statement announcing the collection. "It's not about seducing men, it's about embracing womanhood."

Can't wait to see the Notorious Bettie Paige? You can definitely capture the look of the 1950's pin-up with this fantastic Betty One Piece bathing suit from Bondi Bathers. It's retro and sexy, with a low-cut neckline and full-coverage boy-cut legs. The cut of the swimsuit is very flattering due not only to its slimming black color, but to princess panels that create a very streamlined appearance. One trip to the beach in this and you might end up with more fans than Bettie herself. Price: $131.
