Paolo Sebastian Dresses

Once Upon A Dream

Collaborating with Disney Corporation for his Once Upon a Dream collection, designer Paul Vasileff created magic as he launched his latest collection of Paolo Sebastian dresses at the 2017 Adelaide Fashion Festival. Over three consecutive sold-out showcases, the collection captivated a spell-bound audience of over a thousand enchanted fashion lovers.

In the designer’s own words:

“As a child Disney played a significant role in my life, as it has for so many. It is one of the main reasons I followed the path into fashion design.”

I am incredibly honoured to collaborate with Disney to present our Spring/Summer 2018 Couture Collection, Once Upon a Dream.

This collection is dedicated to all those who have believed in a dream. A homage to the stories that have touched and shaped the lives of so many and which continue to inspire me.

To my dear friend Mary Costa, who captured our hearts as the voice of Walt Disney’s Princess Aurora in Sleeping Beauty, this collaboration would not have been possible without your guidance and conviction.

To my family, friends and team, thank you for your endless love, support, and dedication. I am forever grateful for everything you have given to Paolo Sebastian over the years. Together we continue to create our own fairy tale.

I would like to thank The Walt Disney Corporation Australia, Adelaide Fashion Festival and all of our supporters for your continued faith in Paolo Sebastian, it is deeply appreciated.”

Cocktail Revolution photographer Dimitra Koriozos went backstage to see the magic of Disney working with Paolo Sebastian dresses as the models were preparing for the runway. In front of a hushed crowd, the models traversed a runway that mirrored the enchanted forest of many a Disney movie. Journey with us from backstage to runway, to see how magic is made…..
