Paolo Sebastian

History

Paul Vasileff launched Paolo Sebastian in 2007 at the age of seventeen. In the years since, he and his team have transformed the local label into an international couture house. Initially beginning with custom orders from acquaintances, Paolo Sebastian now works with clients, stylists and stockists across the globe.

In 2016 designer Vasileff and his team took the 2016/17 AW Gilded Wings collection to Paris, for private showings. The collection received acclaim from visiting media and the public alike.

Following the Paris showings, online luxury fashion retailer Moda Operandi hosted a trunk show of the label's 2016/17 AW couture collection.

In October 2015 the label closed the 2015 Adelaide Fashion Festival with two sold out Paolo Sebastian runway shows. Paolo Sebastian's most recent collection was launched at the 2016 Adelaide Fashion Festival, again with two sold out shows. October 2016 saw the label once again close the Adelaide Fashion Festival, this time with international model Coco Rocha walking the runway.

Paolo Sebastian releases two couture collections each year, often featuring hand-embroidered fabrics and beading. Vasileff designs every piece created by the label, with each collection being inspired by a distinct theme and the fashion house known for its signature expression of a story through couture.
