A lot of American brands tried without ever succeeding, and it is the German firm which carried off negotiations: the brand ARTDECO will have in effect the approval to create a range under the aegis of the burlesque star. Why this brand there and not other one? Dita Von Teese explained that she could here be free for the design of products, that she would have her word to be said concerning textures and colours. « It is my name which there will be on products, and it should not end to this!

When they ask Dita what she likes to make in her spare time, this one does not hesitate: « My leisure, it is my job, and to me days off are really rare. » Dita was born in Michigan,a natural blonde and always her icons have been Marlene Dietrich or even Rita Hayworth. Every exit of her home hides behind a whole team of hairdressers and stylists. As she said herself, Dita is a make-up artist and is really a domain where she demands her independence.

And if they lean over her beauty secrets, she smiles and explains: « I make no mystery on my routine beauty, and I give good advice readily in my circle.

For a more worked out make-up, she declares to need about 30 minutes. To be natural is for her a true private step: « Certainly that I do not lie down made up. 

« Certainly that I go to bed with makeup on. Makeup is for me a mean of seduction and without make-up I prove to be more fragile. That's why you will never see me without. »
