Dita Von Teese discusses her journey and the art of performance in this episode of Life in Charms.

Tassels at the ready! In this episode of Life in Charms, Annoushka welcomes Dita Von Teese: the queen of burlesque, style icon and modern muse of vintage glamour. Once described as Snow White gone bad, she’s known the world over for her showstopping 1940s style, signature scarlet lip and the art of undress performed like no one else. She’s turned tease into an art form, lingerie into power and vintage glamour into a lifestyle. From reflecting on her journey from quiet childhood in small-town Michigan to becoming a world-famous performer, Dita shares how imagination, discipline and self-expression shaped her career. Throughout the episode, key moments from Dita’s life are translated into symbolic charm designs inspired by her lifelong devotion to performance, costume, and the art of self-creation .
