Icon - Dita Von Teese

This week we have a an absolutely stunning woman as our Wednesday Icon. The exceptional Dita Von Teese, known for her burlesque performances as well as her extraordinary style. This lady was definitely born in the wrong decade, with style reminiscent of 1930s, 40s and occasionally 50s. 



Her real name is Heather Renee Sweet, she created her stage name when she was younger and chose Dita in homage to the silent film actress Dita Parlo and Von Teese from a phone directory, although it was actually supposed to be Von Treese but a magazine spelt it wrong and since then it has remained Von Teese.
Known for her love of stockings, corsets and lingerie she loves to make the most of her stunning body in everything she wears. 


Dita has walked the runway for some of the greats like Vivienne Westwood and Jean Paul Gaultier to name but a few. I can think of no time that I have ever not loved what she is wearing.


Stunning and a true style icon!

What do you think of Dita's style?
