When speaking about high fashion that blends memory, vision, and identity, Eleonora Lastrucci stands out as one of the truest ambassadors of the new Italian sartorial renaissance. She embodies the spirit of an Italy that refuses to give up, reinterpreting a rich stylistic heritage through ethics, innovation, and a renewed sense of circular craftsmanship.
Known as the designer of the stars and the red carpets of major festivals, Eleonora carries forward the legacy of great Italian masters. From Enrico Coveri she inherited the art of color and luminosity, creating garments that some describe as almost Caravaggesque for their iridescent vibrancy. From Roberto Cavalli she drew creative audacity, the sensual energy that turned the brand into a global symbol of Italian fashion’s hedonistic allure.
Yet Eleonora adds her own unmistakable signature: timeless elegance, couture-level craftsmanship, and a meticulous, almost affectionate attention to detail.
Elegance as a language
For Eleonora, good taste is not a trend. It is a cultural necessity.
“Good taste and elegance are not passing fashions. We need to reclaim beauty, the pleasure it gives us, without reducing it to something ephemeral,” she says.
Her philosophy begins with people. Before the fabrics, there is listening. Before the design, there is connection. She builds a relationship of trust with each woman she dresses, studying her personality, her essence, her inner world. Her creations become mirrors of identity, allowing women to recognize themselves or even discover new versions of who they are.
This is the true value of Made in Italy: ingenuity, heart, and the pride of creating something that carries a story.
Responsible beauty
Elegance for Eleonora is inseparable from responsibility. Circularity is not a trend but a foundation of her work. From the choice of materials to the enhancement of local production, she promotes an ethical, contemporary vision of haute couture.
“Every fabric I choose carries meaning. Blending ethics and aesthetics means creating beauty that respects the world and elevates the person wearing it.”
Her commitment to sustainable innovation has made her a reference point in modern fashion, proving that luxury can coexist with environmental awareness without losing its brilliance.
A remarkable 2025 between fashion and cinema
The year 2025 marked an extraordinary season for Eleonora, with major collaborations that intertwined fashion and the cinematic world. Her creations dressed stars such as Elena Sofia Ricci and illuminated prestigious stages including the Golden Foot Awards in Monte Carlo, the Cannes Film Festival, the Venice Film Festival, and the Rome Film Festival.
Another unforgettable moment was her contribution to the Teatro del Silenzio, celebrating Andrea Bocelli’s thirty-year career, a perfect setting for her poetic aesthetic.
Florence: a new home of beauty
A few months ago, Eleonora inaugurated her new showroom inside the iconic Il Tornabuoni hotel in the heart of Florence. It was an unforgettable evening filled with personalities from the worlds of fashion, cinema, and culture. The space offers visitors a complete immersion into her sartorial universe.
A future already in motion
In 2026, Eleonora will expand beyond fashion alone. She is already developing cross-disciplinary initiatives and exploring new creative territories, driven by her unending desire to experiment. She continues to represent the rebirth of Prato’s textile heritage, where tradition finally meets beauty, innovation, and contemporary design.
Every one of her creations carries the love for her mission, perfectly reflected in the words of Virginia Woolf:
“Clothes have so much more important a task than merely to keep us warm. They change our view of the world and the world’s view of us.”
Eleonora Lastrucci proves this truth every day. In her hands, Italian haute couture continues to evolve, inspire, and shape the future.
