PRESS RELEASE: DITA VON TEESE / L'OFFICIEL INDIA

Crossing boundaries to foreign shores, L'Officiel's cover for May-June 2008 showcases the elusively beautiful Dita Von Teese on its highly coveted cover. Shooting for an Indian magazine for the very first time, the graceful burlesque dancer even donned a sari for the fashion story that was photographed in New York City. An ace in front of the camera, Dita Von Teese’s beauty was apparent in every single frame. Not surprisingly, the cover has created more buzz than any other L’Officiel cover in recent times. Shot in Louis Vuitton and the best of Indian couture by photographer Fabio Chizzola of Jedroot, Dita's Indian debut will not be forgotten for a long time to come.

"I was thrilled to be photographed for the cover of L'Official India! I have been fascinated by the beauty of feminine attire of India, so to wear a combination of mainstream modern fashion and elegant classic traditional dress for L'Official India was a wonderful experience for me."
- Dita Von Teese

"The elite L’Officiel readers have simply loved the cover, Dita is both a fashion icon and a stunning model, and to see her in carrying of traditional Indian couture was a big treat for all her fans world wide."
