The Interpretation of Design Whether or not you have a Disney wedding, you can wear a couture gown inspired by Disney princesses without looking like a cartoon character. Designed by fashion designer Kirstie Kelly, the high-fashion gowns express the emotional life of the Disney princess characters, rather than mimic their distinct fashion styles. As Kelly demonstrates, when you're prepared for a career in fashion design, you can find inspiration everywhere. Iconic Fashions Come Alive One of the gowns inspired by The Little Mermaid is fitted with a fluted bottom that pools delicately in the back, bringing to mind a fishtail. The shimmery silk dress features a form fitted bodice, halter straps, and mermaid skirt. This elegant and sophisticated collection features four other mermaid fashion designs. The Sleeping Beauty dress comes in six designs. One interpretation features a fitted bodice and full skirt with train. It's made with georgette chantilly and high-shine satin. Pearl and crystal embellishments complete the look. Beauty and the Beast's Belle provides the inspiration for a collection of five gowns, including an off-the-shoulder champagne design with asymmetrical gathered hem, and another featuring a skirt with delicate tulle rosette embellishments. Other collections draw inspiration from Cinderella, Jasmine, and Snow White. Gowns range from an elegant silk tulle with duchesse satin and crystals to a satin column dress with bodice gathering and lace. There's lot involved in creating couture gowns, and when you study for a career in fashion, you'll have the chance to find your muses in all aspects of your life.
