#Repost @photobookmagazine 🖤🖤🖤 Born Heather Sweet in West Branch, Michigan, Dita Von Teese is credited internationally with reviving burlesque and setting a new benchmark for this great American art form. She adds a sense of elegance, style, and sophistication. Taking audiences on a journey into fantasy and spectacle, Dita is renowned for her ornate sets and dazzling haute-couture performance costumes lavishly adorned with Swarovski crystal. She’s collaborated with designers such as Elie Saab, Christian Dior, Jenny Packham, Christian Louboutin, Catherine D’Lish, and Mister Pearl. This “Burlesque Superheroine” (Vanity Fair) has been the burlesque performer of choice at high-profile events for Louis Vuitton, Chopard, Cartier, and at The Cannes Film Festival. Dita was the first guest star in history at The Crazy Horse Paris, reviving the iconic cabaret with several sold-out runs, including “Dita’s Crazy Show” to celebrate their 65th Anniversary. @photobookmagazine #photobookmagazine PhotoBook Editor-In-Chief: Alison Hernon @718blonde PhotoBook Creative Director + Photographer + Producer: Mike Ruiz + @mikeruiz.one @mikeruizone Photographer Assistant: Ozzie Gutierrez @ozzie__g__ Talent: Dita Von Teese @ditavonteese Fashion Stylist: Melvin Sanders @melvinstyles Styling Assistant: Cynthia Asmar @cynthiaasmar Hair: Tony Medina @hisvintagetouch Makeup: Gregory Arlt @gregoryarlt Post Production Special Effects by Daniel López @alarcn.daniel Tearsheets by Daniel López, Associate Art Director, PhotoBook Magazine @alarcn.daniel Interview by Flora Medina, Contributor, PhotoBook Magazine @floramedinaa Location: FD Studio Los Angeles @fdphotostudio Designers: Corset & Skirt by Venus Prototype @xvenusprototypex Choker by Lory Sun @lorysunartistry Gloves by Dita Von Teese Gloves @ditavonteesegloves Bracelet & Ring by HOUSE OF EMMANUELE @houseofemmanuele * * * * #burlesque, #art, #hautecouture, #fashion, #1940s, #lingerie, #Cointreau, #AIDS, #MAC Viva Glam, #feminism, #tour, #gala, #swing dance, #pinups, #show, #fetish, #striptease, #Swarovski crystal, #book, #burlesquedancer, #showgirl, #burlesqueperformer, #cabaret
