"I have multipersonality disorder - in a very good way, of course - when it comes to my fashion choices. When I first started playing around with my look, it was more of a Dita Von Teese pinup thing. Dita's really dedicated"
About this Quote
The Dita Von Teese reference pins the moment historically: a mid-2000s revival of retro pinup, burlesque polish, and hyper-feminine control. Perry isn’t just name-checking an aesthetic; she’s pointing at a model of commitment. “Dita’s really dedicated” reads like admiration with a side of self-explanation. Dita is the poster child for total look-devotion, the kind of brand consistency that turns “style” into a disciplined practice. By contrast, Perry positions herself as a shape-shifter who raids eras and personas without swearing fealty to one.
The subtext is business as much as self-expression. In pop, reinvention isn’t a crisis, it’s a release strategy. Calling it “multipersonality” turns marketing into personality, and personality into a spectacle. Perry’s fashion becomes a rotating cast of characters, each outfit a miniature era, each era a way to stay legible in a culture that rewards women for both coherence and constant novelty.
