Dita Von Teese has combined her love of all things glamorous with her experience in creating alluring designs. The result? The beautiful Cointreau-coffret-come-jewellery-box for ladies that like a tipple in their boudoirs. GLAMOUR.COM talks exclusively to the retro fabulous star about shopping and style...
Why did you want to create a Cointreau cocktail coffret?
I love the idea of something that is both beautiful and useful. This is a great vanity case where you can hide things, store jewellery and create a cocktail while in your boudoir. It's a great accessory for a seduction routine!
Three things you'll buy for winter?
A great coat - it's an essential and the right warm and cosy coat is so chic. Trousers - a nice tailored pair that I can imagine Marlene Dietrich would wear. And some heeled boots that are simple.
Favourite designer label?
For the red carpet, I like to wear Jean Paul Gautier and Dior, but for daily wear I like Moschino and Vivienne Westwood.
Wardrobe must-have?
Vintage costume jewellery - that's what I collect. I like dresses that showcase my jewellery, and will often wear one dress loads but make it look different by adding brooches. I wore my Roland Mouret Galaxy dress to threads, but made it look different every time with accessories.
Favourite red carpet dress of all-time?
I wore a Jean Paul Gautier black velvet dress that was really fitted and had military frogging down the front. I dream of owning that dress one day!
My Private Cointreau Coffret, designed by Dita Von Teese, £199 available exclusively at Selfridges from Friday 22nd October.
