ABOUT

“My Name is Amore” marks a growth for Dreaming Eli, and shows a more mature design, curation of fabrics and emotions unveiled. The Dreaming Eli woman has been through a lot in the past seasons, exploring trauma and rebellion and loss and pain and rebirth. She learnt how to fight for herself, how to love herself.
This season, Dreaming Eli celebrates a transformation, moving beyond the fight for survival into an era of radical softness, vulnerability, and fierce intention. The latest collection is a tribute to self-love, an exploration of surrendering to the love one truly deserves, body and soul. After years of cultivating strength and self-empowerment, the Dreaming Eli woman is now poised to fully embrace the raw beauty of love but on her terms. With a renewed sense of agency, she enters a season of deeper exploration, both in her emotional landscape and in the fabrics and designs.
Tweed, a fabric that carries with it a timeless elegance and maturity, makes a bold yet thoughtful appearance in the new collection. Dreaming Eli has reimagined this classic textile, fusing it with unexpected rawness with ripped edges, fraying seams, and an understated reverence for its rugged beauty. When paired with vinyl, tweed undergoes a dramatic transformation: its organic texture softened and shaped by the tough, resilient material, creating an unexpected contrast.
This juxtaposition is further embodied in the biker-inspired trousers and jackets, which soften into romantic and feminine forms with tweed’s raw edges delicately poking through. The deep colour palette: shades that evoke the tender, visceral essence of skin, blood, and love imbues each piece with an intimate sense of sensuality and power.
The collection also continues its exploration of knitwear, using new techniques to create textures that are both tactile and visual, these knitted patterns speak directly to the Dreaming Eli signature, wrapping the wearer in a world of beauty and strength. This is also reflected in the embroidery of the word "Amore" on t-shirts; paying homage to Elisa’s Sicilian heritage and the passionate women who taught her the true meaning of love. Much like the tattoos on her body, these powerful words, etched onto nude mesh, embody the personal scars and experiences that define her journey.
Colour exploration is deepened this season, with a rich palette of creams, pinks, and browns. While remaining true to the Dreaming Eli aesthetic, these hues dive deeper into their emotional resonance, creating a foundation that is both familiar and profoundly new.
The Dreaming Eli woman is ready to explore more than just the world around her; she is embracing her own transformation, inviting softness, vulnerability, and fierce agency into every aspect of her life. For Spring Summer 26 she is both the explorer and the landscape, as she surrenders to love, fashion, and the complexity of her own identity.
