Paolo Sebastian

By Teal Young

If ever there were a designer of fairytale couture, Paolo Vasileff, the creative genius behind clothing brand Paolo Sebastian, is it. His ethereal designs are daringly light and sheer this season, often making use of illusion sheaths and bodices to suspend bead work as if in thin air.

Chiffon skirts in marbled pastel colors pair with Sebastian's nature-inspired motifs to create gowns that appear simultaneously regal and woodsy. Often, his romantic aesthetic also incorporates dark, armor-like elements such as black, beaded swan wings that transform his fanciful pieces from the garb of a fairy princess to that of a warrior queen.

Vasileff's juxtaposition of light and darkness is inspired by the ballet Swan Lake, and the result is a collection so popular that it has been donned by celebrities across the globe, and one particular dress within it is topping charts everywhere. Bloggers and socialites alike can't get enough of his Swan Lake wedding dress, and any internet search for his designs is sure to queue up pictures of this stunning ball gown fit for the swan queen.

Flowing throughout the collection are his signature references to old Hollywood—Audrey Hepburn boatnecks, tea length skirts, and shimmering fringes evoke glamorous images of the past—and his firm commitment to impeccable craftsmanship. Impressively, at just 25 years old, Vasileff is known for using only the finest materials and customizing his work to suit each of his clients. In short, a Paolo Sebastian wedding gown is perfect for walking down the aisle toward your Happily Ever After.
