Dita Von Teese

I know Dita is all about DIY beauty, though has Pat McGrath ever done her makeup? I'd love to see her made up and shot by Meisel. I think she'd look out of this world.

If Dita wasn't wearing the underwear, it'd just look like any old brand. It's kind of matronly when you take away the gloves and make-up. Which is why I suppose she designed it like that, to appeal to the lowest common denominator.
 
It was more with keeping the classic look, if you go back and look at under garments of the past, the 40's/50's/60's you see this look, she is living up to what her style is, old hollywood glam.

Forbidden Love
directed by Ali Mahdavi
starring Dita Von Teese and Djanis Bouzyani

Forbidden Love is a short film by Ali Mahdavi produced in France in 2012. It stars Dita Von Teese and Djanis Bouzyani.

As far as I can ascertain, it did premiere at Cannes, but is not yet available to the public.

Synopses
Madeleine De Beaupré is a gracefully actress. Every evenings, a man looking like a child prepare knowingly heroin for her. Between Melki and Madeleine, attraction is obvious, with confused gestures, veil emotions… Madeleine is in love with Melki but he evokes the memory of her son she’s lost. Forbidden Love is the first film from the gifted models photograph, Mugler’s stylist and Crazy Horse’s art director, Ali Mahdavi who chose to tell us a modern tragedian story of a forbidden love without judgment and perversity, and with a sensual Dita Von Teese.

“Mahdavi’s latest work is a surprising short film, Forbidden Love. It is an explicit homage to actress Romy Schneider (the story of a woman mortally wounded by the death of her son) and an indirect one to Marlene Dietrich (the heroine bears the same name as that actress in the film Desire: Madeleine de Beaupre). The film attains perfection in its equilibrium between sensuality and delicacy, and even distance and humor. It shows the unlikely encounter between Dita Von Teese in the role of a gentle, pure-hearted junkie and a young French North African whose casual violence somehow becomes elegance.” – WestEast Magazine

“Photographer Ali Mahdavi was all abuzz about his own foray into directing. “Forbidden Love,” a short film starring Dita Von Teese and newcomer Djanis Bouzyani, is a story of loss, addiction and twisted desire. “Everyone who has seen it has been extremely impressed by the subtlety of her performance,” he said. “Even I was a little afraid that she would be too affected or that she would overact, and in fact, it was the exact opposite. She is a minimalist.” Mahdavi and Von Teese are also working on a coffee table book of their photo collaborations, to be art directed by Monique Kouznetzoff.” – WWD
