Paolo Sebastian is an Adelaide-based couture house founded by designer Paul Vasileff in 2007 at just seventeen years old. Renowned for its intricate, hand-crafted gowns, the atelier combines old-world couture craftsmanship with Vasileff’s romantic, contemporary vision, often drawing inspiration from fables, fairytales and the natural world. Each piece is designed and handmade in Adelaide by Vasileff and his team of specialised seamstresses, with meticulous embroidery, beading and construction central to the house’s practice.

Welcoming clients from around the world, Paolo Sebastian offers a highly personalised couture experience, with every garment tailored to the individual through private consultations and fittings. The house has presented its collections internationally, including in Paris, London and Milan, and continues to establish Australian couture on the global stage.
