Mehtap Elaidi

Billowing, feminine silhouettes that tease with experimental cuts, trumpet sleeves, and layers upon layers of frills, ruffles and tulle, draw you into the magnetizing world of Mehtap Eliadi, the Turkish designer behind the eponymous brand.

Founded in 2000, Mehtap Elaidi got her start as a small atelier and workshop in Nisantasi, Turkey, experimenting with boundary pushing cuts and romantic, flowing lines in early collections that would ultimately become the brand’s trademark.

Elaidi’s beautifully designed collections have been recognized in high-fashion publications like Marie Claire, Elle, L’Officiel and Harper’s Bazaar, and are currently showcased twice annually in Paris and London.

Signature pieces from the designer’s Spring/Summer 17 collection, including the Flowers Blouse in pink and white pinstripe with embroidered tulle sleeves, and the Books Top in ice blue with unique elbow cutouts, are now available in LILA’s curated store and e-shop.
