DITA VON TEESE: JEAN PAUL GAULTIER’S FASHION FREAK SHOW
Jean Paul Gaultier invites Dita Von Teese, the internationally-renowned icon of burlesque, for seven special performances of his Fashion Freak Show at the Folies Bergère in Paris.
Ms. Von Teese is at home on stages and magazine covers throughout the world. Dancer, actress, singer and muse of glamorous retro-style fashion, as well as a lingerie designer, the “Queen of Burlesque” is about to electrify Paris.
Dita’s unique personality is a perfect match for the crazy world of Jean Paul Gaultier, fashion’s enfant terrible and the creator of the Fashion Freak Show, a grand celebration tailored to his extravagance.
For the last 25 years, Dita Von Teese, with her jet-black hair, scarlet lips and haute couture curves, has been reinventing the art of suggestion and seduction that is burlesque, on the fi ne line between circus show, erotic performance and contemporary art. So what could be more natural than to see her performing today alongside the other members of the Fashion Freak Show?
In tribute to the Hollywood pin-ups of the 40’s and 50’s she so admires – Bettie Page, Betty Grable and Gypsy Rose Lee , Dita creates unique shows and performances that are funny, sensual and sexy, as in he latest “The Art Of The Teese”, which played to sold-out audiences all over the world.
