Embarking on a sartorial odyssey, DREAMING ELI emerges as the brainchild of Elisa Trombatore, an enigmatic Italian visionary now weaving her fashion magic in the heart of London.

In the hallowed halls of Central Saint Martins, Elisa’s creative spirit unfurled with the grace of a blossoming flower, earning her an MA in Fashion in 2021. The couture saga unfolded with her graduate collection, a spectacle supported by the venerable Isabella Blow Foundation. Its flamboyant dance through the limelight found a home in the glossy pages of Vogue Runway, Vogue Italia Talents, i-D Italy, 10Magazine, and a constellation of other style constellations, earning nods from celebrity stylists who marveled at its audacious allure.

DREAMING ELI, a name whispered with reverence in fashion circles, isn’t merely about garments; it’s a narrative woven from threads of power, danger, and beauty—the very contradictions that dance within the tapestry of femininity. Elisa’s grand vision is a rebellious anthem, an empowering ode to women, offering them a sartorial arsenal to defy stereotypes and embrace their authentic selves.

This passion for female empowerment isn’t a mere whim; it’s deeply rooted in Elisa’s Sicilian heritage, entwined with the fiery essence of a womanhood that is both submissive and passionately rebellious. She staunchly believes that from seemingly powerless environments, the most formidable forces of change can emerge.

London Fashion Week, in 2021, witnessed the grand entrance of DREAMING ELI, courtesy of Discovery Lab’s benevolent support. Since then, this avant-garde brand has etched its mark on the fashion calendar, a consistent luminary illuminating the evening schedule of LFW with biannual showcases that leave audiences spellbound.

Enter the ethereal realm of “WILD HEARTS BLEED” AW24, the latest opus from DREAMING ELI. In this collection, each stitch narrates a tale of untamed passion, a symphony of rebellious spirits bleeding through the fabric. Elisa Trombatore’s creations transcend mere garments; they are manifestations of an unyielding quest to redefine and celebrate the indomitable spirit of femininity.
