Adelaide designer Paul Vasileff launched his latest couture collection, inspired by the essence of Disney, Once Upon a Dream – A Disney Inspired Collection by Paolo Sebastian is an homage to the stories and characters that have captured the heart and spirit of generations. The iconic fairy tales are re-envisioned and brought to life through expertly crafted couture.

“To have Disney entrust me with telling their stories through couture is an absolute dream come true.”

Once Upon a Dream follows the timeless narrative of a heroine, who in the quest for happiness is challenged by a wicked evil. However, where there is darkness, there is also light. Through her strength and bravery, light prevails and in true Disney spirit, she lives happily ever after. The iconic Disney scores that have ignited the imaginations of so many have been drawn upon as inspiration for delicate embroideries, featuring lyrics from the classic tales, illustrating designer Paul Vasileff’s dedication to detail in his sixteenth collection.

“It’s been a lot of fun translating the iconic songs into beautiful embroideries,” Vasileff said. French tulle and silk chiffon in tones of petal pink, rose, iridescent starlight, raw umber and ebony are adorned with intricate hand-sewn embroideries of woodland scenes, sweet nightingales and floral motifs, evoking a sense of enchantment synonymous with Disney storytelling.
