Fashion Week Daily: Dita Von Teese On Going Stylist-Free!

Dita Von Teese and her trademark pinup circa 2013 look took in the Carolina Herrera show, and took a sec to chat with us about Mrs. Herrera and life sans a stylist.

You look lovely in Carolina Herrera. Did you go to the show?
I did. I loved it! I actually met Carolina and her husband and her daughter at the photo shoot for the Best Dressed List and I saw all of the clothes on the racks and I said, “Why am I not wearing Carolina Herrera?”

We’re surprised you haven’t worn her before!
Well I don’t have a stylist and I choose my own clothes. I get a little bit shy sometimes about asking people if they want to dress me.

Do you have an assistant who helps with your wardrobe?
I have an assistant who does paperwork and helps me take care of my cat. She’s not a fashion person.

What’s next for you?
My show, which runs September 30 through October 4 at Gramercy Hall

Capitol Couture: Dita Von Teese Capitol Icon
The Va-va-voom vixen talks about her latest style addictions.

Fashion philosophy: “Trying to be ‘of the moment’ isn’t chic. Anyone can buy clothes. Beautifully maintaining a signature style is the ultimate achievement.”

Go-to outfit: “My Second Look dress for endless reasons: it showcases jewelry so well, can be dressed up or down according to the accessories, and reveals the silhouette without being too revealing. Oh and it travels beautifully too.”

Favorite high drama accessory: “Can I choose two? Black leather opera-length gloves and my Von Follies Madame X bra.”

Soundtrack for getting dressed up: “I love a soundtrack for bathing, doing my makeup and certainly dressing for the evening. Among my standout favorites are Aquellos Ojos Verdes by Nat King Cole because it’s so glamorous, Teach Me Tonight by Jo Stafford because it’s so sexy, and 36-22-36 by Bobby Blue Bland for being so inspiring.”

Growing up, I wore the hell out of: “My special occasion dresses. I hated my casual school clothes and wanted to wear my dressy clothes. I couldn’t understand why I had to save them for special events. It was a constant argument with my parents.”

Sunglasses du jour: “I have an entire wardrobe of sunglasses. But I’m particularly fond right now of my round black and white tortoise with ombré lenses and a gold wire temple by Miu Miu.”

Current edible obsession: “Organic avocado on toasted millet bread with smoked sea salt.”

Home remedy for a Champagne hangover: “Every other glass is water. I never have hangovers!”

The Alexis Mabille Spring/Summer 2014 Ready to Wear Runway show in Paris featured Dita Von Teese Lingerie. Photos by Dominique Maitre.

“The show opened with a khaki jumpsuit in washed silk, unbuttoned to reveal a bra from Von Follies — Dita Von Teese’s lingerie line. Mabille repeated the trick on other looks including a series of rodeo shirts, which were adorned with piped inserts and lace appliqués or embroidered with crystals. Cinched tight with belts to produce wasp-waist figures, the shirts worked well atop retro mini shorts.” -wwd

Your Tango: Dita Von Teese On Va-Va-Vooming Your Sex Life!
By Hilary Sheinbaum

“I always like to prepare my victim a cocktail before I perform a striptease for them,” Dita admits.

Famous for performing burlesque shows around the globe, you could say Dita Von Teese knows a thing or two about being sexy. We sat down with the former Mrs. Marilyn Manson and Playboy model to discuss the best things in life: love, sex and cocktails.

“I usually don’t think about spicing up my sex life as much as I think about always maintaining it,” Dita explains to us, while offering her recipe for setting the mood. “I’ve actually become really great at mixing my own cocktails. I put Cointreau over ice and top it with sparkling water, a squeeze of lime, and then I put out different garnishes—everything from basil and strawberries, kiwi, fruit.”

Okay, Dita, let’s get seductive:

Tip #1: Create Poetic Space By Wearing Something Sexy

“I’m a big advocate for wearing beautiful lingerie, not just for seduction, but in everyday life. I think that it’s an individual thing … you might want to try something unique and special.”

Tip #2: Perform A Striptease

“I can’t help but [include] the striptease at home. That’s something I can talk about for hours on how to exactly do that, but I think the basis is having fun with the idea and letting your real personality come through in your striptease—and finding the right clothes. You can practice at home by yourself before you perform it for someone. I always like to prepare my victim a cocktail before I perform a striptease for them, too.”

Tip #3: Share A Secret

“I think that spicing things up really has a lot to do with vulnerability and telling someone a secret or something that you might like to try that’s unusual. A lot of it has to do with trust, which I think is a really exciting dynamic in sex.”

YourTango: What’s the best love advice you’ve received?
Dita Von Teese: I think the best love advice I’ve ever received is really about understanding that communication is key, of course, but also that there’s not one perfect person for you. You kind of have to accept what are the things that are negotiable for you and what are not.

YourTango: What’s your most romantic memory?
Dita Von Teese: Oh, I have a lot of romantic memories that are simple. Like, one time, I was seeing someone in Paris and I was in LA, and it was snowing. He had written my name in snow—on a snow covered car—and put a little heart with my initials and took the picture from his apartment above. I thought that was pretty romantic. It’s the simple things, really.

YourTango: Do you believe in “The One”?
Dita Von Teese: I think there can be lots of ones. I don’t think there’s really “the one.” I think there’s lots of opportunities to find the one. I guess I can’t say I believe in the one yet because I haven’t met him.

YourTango: What’s your tango?
Dita Von Teese: I am motivated and energized and excited by where I am in my career, [a place] that I never thought I would get to. What started off for me as doing a little striptease show in a strip club has turned into this big modern burlesque show. All the women that come to my shows, I’m inspired by them. They’re getting the same inspiration out of seeing a striptease show—which doesn’t really make sense that we as women are being inspired by a striptease show—but underneath it all, it’s interesting the way you can see something much different than we used to.
