Dita Von Teese is the face of 'Von Follies', her lingerie line which launches next year.

Dita Von Teese is launching her lingerie line next year. In the grand scheme of celebrity collections, this makes more sense than, say, Kanye going guns blazing into womenswear : the woman spends more time in her bras and knickers than proper clothes, so should know a thing or two about designing the stuff.
As expected from old Hollywood-aping Von Teese, the line, called Von Follies, is vintage-inspired and includes bras, high-waisted pants, garter belts and corselettes (think swimsuit shape, shapewear function). Details like grosgrain, velvet ribbons and lace apparently "give the essence of the sultry Fifties glamour girl," according to a press release. Or, say, Von Teese? Naturally, she's the face of her range (see picture).
The Fifties styling extends to the sizing, which seems to have the era's figure in mind: selected bras will go up to an E cup, and knickers to a UK size 18.
Australia gets first dibs on the collection next February, before it's rolled out internationally.
