DITA VON TEESE
Christmas Burlesque
A PRESTIGE HONG KONG ORIGINAL

Modern burlesque queen Dita Von Teese brings new meaning to the word “festive” with a rousing pictorial in the Christmas edition of Prestige Hong Kong.

Von Teese, who has single-handedly reinvented striptease as an art form while drawing comparisons with German cabaret and film icon Marlene Dietrich and infamous 1950s erotic pin-up Bettie Page, has become an international style icon and is the current ambassador for Cointreau’s “Be Cointreauversial” advertising campaign.

Her electrifying pictorial was shot on location at Miauhaus Studios in Los Angeles by celebrity photographer Mike Ruiz, and is exclusive to Asia via Prestige Hong Kong.
