Hey, guys.
Ella here in beautiful Australia
and I'm going to take you on a style adventure.
Are you ready?
Welcome to Destination: Disney Style.
In this series, we're exploring Disney fashion from around the world.
Next stop, Melbourne.
[music]
I just love Melbourne.
It's one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the whole world
with its amazing coffee...
...incredible food
...and you can find really cool art pretty much anywhere.
Then of course, there's the fashion
and this is where Melbourne really shines.
Some of the best shopping in Australia
is here on famous Chapel Street.
A four-kilometer stretch of international fashion houses,
homegrown local designers, beauty specialists,
and of course, more yummy food than you could possibly try.
You can spend a whole day here and barely touch the surface.
The locals wear fashion-forward looks all year round,
and their style is about celebrating their individuality.
As long as you're comfortable within yourself, anything goes.
And yes, that even means adding a little Disney magic to their day-to-day looks.
Chapel Street isn't the only place to shop.
Melbourne is also home to Chadstone,
which just so happens to be the biggest shopping center
in the southern hemisphere.
One of these specialty stores is Peter Alexander,
named after the man himself.
Melbourne-based designer, Peter Alexander,
creates fun and fashionable sleepwear,
daywear, and gift wear.
Peter also creates a Disney spin on some of his collections.

Hey, Peter.
So, I'm so excited to be in your store today.
So what got you into fashion designing?
Look, I never thought I would get into fashion designing.
I've actually never studied fashion and I don't know how to sew.
Really?
Yeah, which is really weird,
Like, my mother still has to sew my buttons on my shirt.
But what I'm very good at is,
I've got a great creative eye, I've got great ideas,
and I surround myself with very talented people
who can sew.
So why sleepwear?
It's a great fashion, sort of, department
To be in, because it's all about fun.
It's about your inner child, it's about emotion,
it's about comfort.
It's all sort of similar to Disney
in the sense that you can bring out your inner child
and just enjoy yourself.
And so you have another Disney collection.
Can you tell us about that?
It's The Lion King and I have a couple favorite pieces here.
I love mixing fashion with Disney.
So this is-- Disney's almost hidden in the print
and I like the subtleties of that,
that it isn't just, you know, the normal pajamas you see.
And it's got a really cute shape and some nice tassels,
so I love that.
And then this is my favorite,
but just because it's comfy and a big sleep tee.
Aww.
Peter Alexander isn't the only fashion designer
to incorporate Disney style into their collection,
which is why I'm jumping on a plane to South Australia.
[music]
Adelaide, South Australia's coastal capital city,
known for its long beach fronts, world-class art and music,
and stunning flora.
I'm here at Rundle Mall.
This wide street is Australia's first pedestrianized mall.
It was designed to attract shoppers and is now home
to the freshest fashion, beauty, lifestyle and food.
Adelaide also has a yearly festival calendar
to rival that of any other Australian city,
and right now is the Adelaide Fashion Festival,
so I'm going to go and get red carpet ready and check it out.
[music]
The Adelaide Fashion Festival
showcases established and up and coming designers.
Over five days, they present the best fashion and accessories,
alongside inspired makeup styling and culture.
This year they're taking it to the next level
by featuring a couture range, inspired by Disney princesses.
Created by young Australian of The Year Paul Vasileff.
His fashion label, Paolo Sebastian,
is being worn on red carpets around the world.
I am so excited to see what he's come up with,
but luckily I don't have to wait
because the show is just about to start right now.
[music]
[cheering]
The show is finished now and it was absolutely amazing,
but I'm really excited because I actually get to go and catch up
with Paul now at his atelier,
and hear more about what inspired his collection.
Let's go.
[music]
So, guys, I'm here with Paul Vasileff, the founder of Paolo Sebastian.
I'm so excited to chat to you because the show is amazing.
Thank you so much for having me.
So this might be a bit of a difficult question,
but which is your favorite dress from the whole collection?
It's hard to pick
because each dress means a different part of a different film
and they're all so important to me.
But I would say probably the Once Upon a Dream dress,
which is just over here.
Oh, my gosh, it looks amazing.
Thank you.
So this was inspired by the Once Upon a Dream sequence
in Sleeping Beauty.
It's one of my favorite parts in the movie,
so I drew upon the color palettes
and the iconography, I guess, the little elements that were in that film.
So we've got the squirrels here, we've got the birds,
the owl, the rabbits,
and the berries as well because Briar Rose is picking berries.
With the gowns being inspired by Disney princesses,
some of them actually have lyrics on them,
so what was the thought process behind that?
Well, I think the songs in Disney are really so important
and they have such great and strong messages,
and positive messages behind them,
so I really wanted to translate them into embroideries.
So, like we have here,
Part of Your World from Little Mermaid.
And this embroidery actually tells the story
of The Little Mermaid.
So we've got Ariel here looking into the sunlight,
and we've got the lyrics across this band.
We've got the dinglehopper,
we've got the Pilot, Sebastian, Flounder.
We've got Ursula through here, the shipwreck.
And my final question for you is,
do you have any advice for any aspiring fashion designers out there?
Yeah, I mean, advice that I would give to anyone really is,
just stay true to yourself and believe in your dreams.
And I'm just so grateful to everyone at Disney.
It's honestly a dream come true.
[cheering]
So there you have it, guys,
from the graffiti streets of Melbourne,
to the sleepwear of Peter Alexander,
to the timeless works of Paolo Sebastian.
It just goes to show that Disney style
can be found just about anywhere in Australia.
So thank you all for joining me and I'll see you guys very soon.
Bye.
