Dita Von Teese lingerie collection, Von Follies by Dita Von Teese, launching exclusively at Target Australia

Australian brand development company lime door brands in conjunction with lingerie company Diamondcut International today announces Target Australia as the exclusive Australian retailer of the upcoming lingerie collection designed by international style icon, Dita Von Teese.

Entitled Von Follies by Dita Von Teese, the range will be available in Target Australia stores across Australia from early February 2012.

Von Follies by Dita Von Teese was inspired by Dita’s long-time love of lingerie and her own personal collection of vintage lingerie. The launch range combines sophistication and sensuality with distinct touches such as grosgrain and velvet ribbons, delicate eyelash lace, and control mesh to give the essence of the sultry 1950’s glamour girl.

True to Dita Von Teese’s signature style, the collection encapsulates an iconic vintage feel
including one of her personal favourites, the overwire bra and high waisted briefs, garter belts and lovely corsolettes. Each item enhances the feminine silhouette that Dita Von Teese is world
renowned for representing.

Explaining the inspiration for the range, Dita Von Teese noted, “There are so many vintage lingerie pieces I love that I haven’t been able to find in all my years of collecting. I wanted to design pieces that are tributes to my vintage obsessions, to make them beautiful and functional, while modernising them for everyday wear.”
“I’ve had a longtime fascination with the 1950’s era overwire bras. It’s something that has been
quite a task to create, but the end result is so chic, and so unique, I’m very proud of it. It’s a
statement piece meant to be seen,” she said.

The range features ten collections that range from black lingerie sets that Dita Von Teese feels
every woman should own, to bold luxurious reds, nudes with black lace overlay, vintage-inspired
pale shades of satin, and even an animal print.

The stylish range also represents great value to customers. Bras and briefs will range from $17.00 with exquisite bustiers and fitted corsolettes ranging from $79.00.
With selected bra styles available up to an E-cup and briefs up to size 20, Von Follies by Dita Von Teese will bring a touch of sophistication and glamour to Australian women of all shapes and sizes.

Dita Von Teese explains, “It was very important to me to offer lingerie in a large range of sizes. Size range was one of the first things I asked when I was approached to create this collection. It was important to me to accomplish the task of making these beautiful things in sizes that can make any woman feel sexy and glamorous, and I’m very proud that we have been able to do that, while
keeping prices affordable,” she concluded.

The first pieces from the collection will be in Target Australia stores across Australia from early February 2012 with exciting new product lines to be introduced in March and April 2012. To ensure that all Australian women have easy access to this exclusive range, Von Follies by Dita Von Teese will also be available for purchase online from the Target Australia website at www.target.com.au
from early February 2012.

Estée Lauder Companies Inc. Deeply Mourns the Death of Evelyn H. Lauder

The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. Deeply Mourns the Death of Evelyn H. Lauder,
Senior Corporate Vice President and Head of Fragrance Development Worldwide,
and Founder of The Breast Cancer Research Foundation

The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. (ELC) yesterday announced the passing of Evelyn H. Lauder, Senior Corporate Vice President and Head of Fragrance Development Worldwide, at the age of 75 from complications of non-genetic ovarian cancer. Mrs. Lauder died on November 12, at her home in New York City with her family by her side.

She is survived by her beloved family: husband Leonard A. Lauder, Chairman Emeritus of the Estée Lauder Companies; son William, Executive Chairman of the Estée Lauder Companies; son Gary, Managing Director of Lauder Partners LLC, and his wife Laura, General Partner of Lauder Partners; and five grandchildren.

“My mother carried the torch of our Company heritage and the values that were passed to her by my grandmother, Mrs. Estée Lauder,” said William Lauder. “My mother and father were life partners as well as business partners. They nurtured the culture and growth of the Estée Lauder Companies, and as we grew, my mother was our creative compass and pillar of strength. Together my family and the Company celebrate the beautiful person she was.”

Speaking for the Company, President and Chief Executive Officer Fabrizio Freda said, “Evelyn embodied the heart and soul of the Estée Lauder Companies. She was one of the pivotal architects of our vision, values, and culture. She was dynamic, creative, smart, endearingly warm, generous, and incredibly gifted at connecting with people. Her enthusiasm was contagious.”

Mrs. Lauder’s life is a remarkable American success story. Born in Vienna, Austria, her parents fled from Europe with her during the Nazi occupation, eventually settling in New York City. Asleep when the ship bringing them to the United States arrived in New York Harbor, her mother woke her up to see the Statue of Liberty. Mrs. Lauder would remember, and be inspired by, that symbol of hope for the rest of her life.

She was very proud of having attended and graduated from New York City public schools and from Hunter College, part of the City University of New York. After receiving her college degree, she was a public school teacher in New York City for several years.

As a college freshman, she had been introduced to Leonard A. Lauder, the older son of Estée and Joseph Lauder, owners of a small family cosmetics company, and they married in 1959. That same year she joined the family business. She had many roles then, including serving as New Product Director and as Marketing Director. Her teaching background was an excellent springboard for one of her earliest contributions, the creation of the Company’s brand training programs. She also measured color standards in makeup, sold products in stores, and made numerous personal appearances.

Her invaluable insights on fashion trends and consumers’ rapidly changing needs influenced new approaches to the development of innovative skin care, makeup, and fragrance. The significant contributions she made in education and product development still distinguish the Estée Lauder Companies as the leader in global prestige beauty. When the Company began creative work on what became Clinique in 1968, Mrs. Lauder thought of the name Clinique and became the first to wear the now ubiquitous Clinique white lab coat after she was named the brand’s first Training Director.

In 1989, Mrs. Lauder assumed the role of Senior Corporate Vice President and Head of Fragrance Development Worldwide. Her love of gardening and flowers served as inspiration as she designed new fragrances. She led the development of the Company’s most globally successful fragrances, including the best-selling Beautiful and Pleasures.

Mrs. Lauder was a philanthropic leader in New York City. She served on the Board of Overseers at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and on the boards of the Central Park Conservancy and the Evelyn and Leonard Lauder Foundation. Many other charities also benefited from Mrs. Lauder’s thoughtful guidance and renowned generosity, including nonprofits devoted to health and human services, education and inner-city schools, the environment, women’s causes, and the arts.

Mrs. Lauder was perhaps best known to the public for her work in bringing global awareness to women’s health, a passion that stemmed from a personal experience with early stage breast cancer. In 1992, she co-created the Pink Ribbon, now recognized as the worldwide symbol of breast health, and launched the Estée Lauder Companies Breast Cancer Awareness (BCA) Campaign (www.bcacampaign.com). Each year, the BCA Campaign raises funds through its brands, employees, and retail partners around the world to help support breast cancer research. Mrs. Lauder founded The Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) in 1993 to provide crucial funds to breast cancer medical and scientific researchers around the world. BCRF (www.bcrfcure.org) has raised more than $350 million and supports 186 researchers globally.

“Each October, it is extraordinary to see the absolute dedication of our employees around the world to the BCA Campaign. Evelyn’s mission became our mission; her passion became our passion. She inspired all of us, and we will continue to move forward with her vision to rid the world of breast cancer,” said Mr. Freda.

Mrs. Lauder was an avid photographer, and her work is represented in many public and private collections, including the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, as well as leading medical facilities in the United States and abroad. In October 2002, Harry Abrams, Inc. published An Eye for Beauty, Mrs. Lauder’s second collection of photographs. Her first book of photographs, also from Abrams, The Seasons Observed, was published in September 1994.  In September 2011 her works were on display at the Gagosian Gallery in London. Her third book, In Great Taste: Fresh, Simple Recipes for Eating and Living Well, was published in 2006.

A visionary, true leader, and dear friend, Mrs. Lauder will be forever missed by everyone at the Estée Lauder Companies.
