Burlesque beauty Dita Von Teese launches her new titillating lingerie line : Enjoy Sexy Lingerie

Burlesque beauty Dita Von Teese wants to see Americans in their underwear. Confidenti@l caught up to Von Teese at the Bloomingdale’s launch of her latest lingerie line, where she told us the success of her Von Follies brand in Australia has her titillated to launch the sexy U.S. line.

“I worked in a lingerie store from when I was 15 to when I was 24,” said Von Teese, flanked by scantily clad models, all of whom could’ve been mistaken for young Rita Hayworths. “I felt like I learned about the power of lingerie in so many different ways and not even as a tool of seduction; that came later, and it’s still secondary to me. It’s how it makes me feel.”

Von Teese doesn’t sketch her own lingerie designs, but rather mixes and matches from her library of in-demand lingerie catalogs, ranging from the ’30s to the ’60s. “I have a huge archive,” she said. “A lot of museums borrow from my collection for exhibits.”

McDaid sealed their send-off with a kiss.
