Burlesque star Dita Von Teese has added underwear designer to her resume - after signing up to work with Wonderbra. The performer - herself an avid lingerie collector - will design garments for the brand, making her the first ever celebrity to create an exclusive range with the company.

Von Teese will design three ranges for Wonderbra, inspired by glamorous 1940s styling and vintage lingerie, with the star also acting as the face of the designs.

She says, "I've been passionate about beautiful lingerie my entire life, so to team up with Wonderbra, a brand that is known for undergarments of exceptional quality and beauty is a great privilege for me, and I am immensely proud of the collection. I really hope that with this new range I can share my passion for sensual, wearable lingerie that will add a touch of glamor to people's everyday lives."

Wonderbra By Dita Von Teese will hit stores in the U.K. and France in September.
