Mermaid-inspired £4 million diamond studded wedding dress by Julien Macdonald woos Londoners

British fashion designer Julien Macdonald has created a lace mermaid-inspired wedding gown for the Disney fanatic brides. After all, the Disney classic The Little Mermaid was about Ariel living a “happily ever after” with her prince and so are the real-life weddings. The £4 million (approx. $6.50 million) opulent bridal gown encrusted with a real diamond and freshwater pearls is part of the designer’s Spring/ Summer 2015 collection that was unveiled at the London Fashion Week.
The Welsh-born designer revealed his inspiration was a lovelorn mermaid. “She lives in a tropical sea with flowers and jumping fish and she lures a tattooed man to the bottom of the ocean,” he was quoted as saying. “So the dresses are a mix of tattoos and flowers, with fabrics that really hold and accentuate the body.”

“She takes the buried treasure and translates it into her dream ethereal wedding dress — diamonds, pearls, expense, lace, glamour.
