She began performing burlesque in 1992, and, as a proponent of Neo-Burlesque, has helped to popularize its revival. In her own words, she "puts the tease back into striptease". Von Teese has been fond of wearing elaborate underwear such as corsets and basques with fully fashioned stockings ever since working in a lingerie store as a teenager.

In December 2004, Klum became the host, judge and executive producer of the reality show Project Runway. Despite being ranked second on Forbes' list of the "World's Top-Earning Models", some noted fashion designers have long been commenting on Klum's limited role as a fashion model. In 2009 Karl Lagerfeld agreed with German designer Wolfgang Joop, who called Klum after she had posed naked on the cover of the German edition of GQmagazine, "no runway model. She is simply too heavy and has too big a bust".
