From Sheer Romance to First-Love Glow: Dreaming Eli SS26 Captivates London

My Name Is Amore

At London Fashion Week, Dreaming Eli turned St. Cyprian’s Church into a cathedral of love with its SS26 collection, My Name Is Amore. Elisa Trombatore reimagined romance as both armor and vulnerability: sheer meshes kissed with embroidery, corseted silhouettes, shredded tweeds, and ribbons that whispered femininity against sculpted lines. Each look felt like a love letter, tender yet unafraid of its scars.

The palette spoke in hushed tones of cream, blush, and nude, punctuated by deep burgundy and black. Beauty sealed the narrative: dewy, luminous skin, flushed cheeks, lashes scattered like memories, and undone hair that floated with lived-in ease—the ultimate “first-love glow.”

Dreaming Eli’s commitment to upcycled fabrics and handmade craftsmanship grounded the ethereal in conscience. The result was more than a collection—it was a manifesto of intimacy and defiance, reminding London why its runways still beat with poetry.
