DREAMING ELI is a newly established fashion brand by the London-based Italian designer, Elisa Trombatore.
After graduating from the MA Fashion course at Central Saint Martins in 2021, her graduate
collection, supported by Isabella Blow Foundation, has been featured in several magazines, such as Vogue Runway, Vogue Italia Talents, i-D Italy, 10Magazine, Harper Bazaar, L’Officiel, the Evening Standard and more, attracting the attention of many celebrities, From Zara Larson and Rita Ora, to Julia Fox, Munroe Bergdorf and Stefflon Don.
DREAMING ELI’s collections are meant to demonstrate the power, danger, and beauty of
contradiction inherent in femininity. The ultimate goal is to empower woman through design, giving them tools to rebel against stereotypes and glorify their true selves. The designer’s obsession with female empowerment comes from her Sicilian heritage and the experience of a totally submissive as well as passionate womanhood. She firmly believes that it’s from powerless environments that the most potent forces can arise.
Having made its debut London Fashion Week in 2021, with Discovery Lab, the brand has been
consistent presence in the evening schedule of LFW, showcasing two collections annually for the first two years. This September, Dreaming Eli has come back on the main schedule of LFW with an emotional presentation in a transformed studio in central London showcasing the latest AW25 collection, Between My Heart And Ribs.
DREAMING ELI’s collections have also been supported by the WHITE Milan Showroom since 2022 where the brand has since presented its products to international buyers and press every season during LFW. SS25 has also been presented for the second time during PFW in an intimate showroom.
