For AW25 Dreaming Eli creates a collection both wild and intimate, fierce and fragile, constructed with the raw energy of a woman who refuses to be tamed.

The Inspiration

For Autumn Winter 25 Dreaming Eli looks within, into the depths of the human form, exploring the intricate layers of flesh, bone, and emotion. The collection is a powerful celebration of the female body, exploring the unapologetic embrace of chaos, passion, and transformation. It speaks to a woman who has walked through fire, emerged from the trauma, and claimed her body as her own.

The Collection

Through the layering of distressed fabrics, the collection mirrors the complexities of womanhood. The colour red is used throughout – a continuation from previous seasons and a reference to the body. It bleeds across the collections, representing trauma and power, desire and defiance. The rest of the palette remains connected to the body with soft nudes and delicate pinks.

This collection marks the first-time knitwear has been created for the brand with torn, raw, red threads that trace across the body like veins. Dreaming Eli’s signature deconstructed lingerie returns blending delicacy with defiance, styled with tights by Heist Studios. The art of draping and layering makes each piece unique and one of a kind promoting Dreaming Eli ethos of handmade production. Which alongside the continuation of exploration of upcycled denim which for the season is cut out and enriched with the delicate lace.

Also new for Dreaming Eli AW25 is the brands first bag collection. The debut accessory line in collaboration with 3D designer Harry Mack blend Harry’s digital world with Dreaming Eli’s romantic, fluid shapes. Focusing on exploring how digital tools can transform traditional processes by bridging the worlds of fashion, technology, and sustainability to produce results that challenge conventional notions of what accessories and fashion can be.
