Kirstie Kelly to Design Disney's Fairy Tale Weddings Collection

Tue Apr 17 14:13:01 EDT 2007


Want to look like a princess? As a tribute to fairy tale wishes and
finding true love, Disney will unveil a new collection of wedding
gowns inspired by the spirit and style of each Disney Princess.

Kirstie Kelly For Disney's Fairy Tale Weddings inaugural collection
will be showcased on the runways this evening as part of the New York
Bridal Fashion Week. "Maidens" for bridesmaids collection will be
available at specialty boutiques in North America, Japan and Europe
beginning in June. The collection will soon expand to include "Jewels"
that accessorize even the fairest of them all.

The collection combines a fashion-forward look with timeless elements
inspired by the Disney Princesses themselves, including Ariel, Aurora/
Sleeping Beauty, Belle, Cinderella, Jasmine and Snow White. Fabrics
like organza, chantilly, chiffon, satins and tulle are accented with
stunning embellishments, including lace, ribbons, crystals, pearls and
gorgeous embroidered beading.

"Every look takes its inspiration from the silhouette, palette and
icons of each Disney Princess story and interprets the spirit of each
young woman," said Kelly. "Each of them has a unique, charming and
very individual style that many brides can identify with - and now
truly emulate - on their wedding day."

The Ariel dresses are sultry and alluring - ideal for the bride who
feels comfortable with a more form-fitted look. Fabrics consist of
gorgeous silks and chiffons, beads, leaf applique and pearls, with a
mermaid-like "wave effect" at the bottom. The Aurora/Sleeping Beauty
collection is lovely and romantic, with a mix of georgette, chantilly,
high-shine satin, pearl and crystal embellishments, with pleated hems
and beaded organza inlays.

The Belle collection exudes stylish sophistication, with lace and
ribbon, bands of satin, taffeta and gorgeous tulle flowers at the
neckline. The Cinderella gowns radiate classic glamour and elegance,
with silk tulle, duchesse satin, scattered crystals and embroidered
beading. The Jasmine gowns convey a Bohemian chic look, featuring
appliquéd lace, embroidery and draping, with chiffon and satin mixed
in with clustered beadwork. The Snow White dresses are sweet and
demure, with rouched chiffon, tulle inlays with beading and pleated
satins.
