Dita Von Teese gets involved in her range

Famous burlesque dancer and a celeb entrepreneur, Dita Von Teese is "very hands on" when it comes to her fashion, perfume and cosmetics lines and likes to be as involved as possible.

The style icon of old glamour has her own range of vintage clothes, makes-up and perfume. Not only she is working on her second fragrance, Dita has teamed up with Cointreau to design a new evening bag.

The diva exclusively talked to BANG Showbiz: "I was very adamant about not having vanilla or fruit or any sweetness you know. I wanted really grown up, sophisticated, seductive perfume, not, you know, girlie things. It took a year-and-a-half before we created something completely unique and new and it was a really fun process to find out what I really like and what I don't like. For a little while in the beginning of the process they'd do reworks of the perfumes and I'd say 'Did you put vanilla in there?' and they'd say, 'Yeah a little bit, but...' I'd be like, 'Oh, but I hate vanilla!' so it was a long process to get it exactly as I wanted it."

Dita Von Teese also has a clothing line called ‘Muse’.

She said: "It's a clothing collection inspired by some of my most iconic vintage pieces, and things that I think translate well, that don't look like a costume drama.

‘My Cointreau Evening Bag’ designed by Cointreau ambassador Dita Von Teese will be available exclusively from Selfridges from 1st October, RRP £559.
