First look at Harrods Disney Princess dresses by leading fashion designers

[weber_dubois22]

Harrods will make every girl's dreams come true this Christmas when they unveil their festive windows at their legendary Knightsbridge store on November 1. An elite team of 10 womenswear designers, including Versace, Roberto Cavalli, Valentino, Oscar de la Renta and - fresh from kitting out the real life fairytale Luxembourg royal wedding at the weekend - Elie Saab, have been enlisted to re-imagine the iconic Disney Princess dresses.

The results are, of course, magical, with Saab's Aurora (Sleeping Beauty) a vision in embellished blush ruffles, Marchesa's Ariel (The Little Mermaid) an oceanic siren in deep blue silk, Versace's Cinderella a contemporary idol in a golden gown adorned with signature Medusa motifs, and de la Renta's Snow White an ethereal bejwelled beauty.

Harrods' Disney Princess windows will be unveiled on November 1, but in the meantime, here's a special preview video of all 10 dresses and each designer's sketched creations in full. [Video] Filmed and edited by Dan Burdett
