Dita Von Teese Biography

Born Heather Sweet in West Branch Michigan Dita Von Teese grew up fascinated by the Golden Age of Cinema pin-up imagery and vintage lingerie. This naturally blond mid-western girl then transformed herself into a glamour girl like those she admired. Performing striptease since 1992 she is the biggest name in burlesque in the world since Gypsy Rose Lee and is credited with bringing the art form back into the spotlight with a new sense of elegance and sophistication.
Taking audiences on a journey into fantasy and spectacle Dita is renowned for her ornate sets and dazzling haute-couture performance costumes adorned with hundreds of thousands of Swarovski crystals. This “Burlesque Superheroine” (Vanity Fair) is the performer of choice at high profile events including those for designers such as Marc Jacobs Christian Louboutin Louis Vuitton Chopard and Cartier and was the first guest star in history at Paris’ famed Crazy Horse (established in 1951) where she has performed several sold-out runs. Dita also brought burlesque to prime time television in the States when she appeared as a guest star on CSI and performed her classic Martini Glass show in one of their highest rated episodes to date which was billed as “too hot to handle.”
In addition to her burlesque shows Dita is a self-styled fashion icon topping best-dressed lists all over the world. Featured on Vanity Fair’s International Best Dressed List 2013 Dita has recently expanded into her own distinct brands. Her lingerie collection debuted exclusively with Bloomingdale’s in the U.S. in March 2014 and has expanded to other popular U.S. retailers such as Nordstrom Dillard's Barenecessities.com and Journelle.
