It's not often that you see models of all sizes and ethnic backgrounds side by side on the catwalk, particularly at a lingerie fashion show.
But burlesque beauty Dita Von Teese, famous for her take on classic, vintage glamour, obviously believes lingerie is for all women.
Debuting her latest Von Follies line of innerwear for high street giant Target at the L'Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival earlier this month, the petite stunner offered up an impressive array of vintage-inspired feminine creations set off by risque accessories like whips, eye-masks, top hats and leather. Take a look.
First up we have this animal print set complete with garter belt and complemented by a demure netted veil.
